First, a few words about the rotting West.

Less than a year ago, world public opinion was posed before the question: is the Swiss referendum a violation of rights, which decided that there are not many minarets in Switzerland? Let me remind you that officials and politicians in almost every European country, accompanying organizations and human rights defenders with the overwhelming over the region began to hissed into Switzerland. This shaft of criticism was stopped by our compatriot, the oldest human rights activist Elena Georgievna Bonner, who said that “everything is good and sometimes even perfectly in its place - historical, traditional and within its culture. Long live Switzerland and its direct democracy. And this is not a violation of human rights, but their complete celebration. ” Then the civilized world received an excellent occasion to think: where are the boundaries of human freedoms run? No, of course, he had known about the freedom of the fist and the boundaries of someone else's face, but a completely different angle of view on the problem appeared here. This angle of view discovered himself even more after a ban on wearing a hijab in France. This news was perceived much more calmly, since it became clear to everyone that today Europe gradually formulates the law according to which freedom does not imply the right to abandon this freedom. Licenses for slavery do not fit in any way with the Declaration of Human Rights, or with the Lisbon Treaty. Otherwise, according to the prophecy of Valeria Novodvorskaya, humanity will have to stand on the platform of Orwell from 1984: “Freedom is slavery”, and the monstrous fact that a schoolgirl from Saudi Arabia was sentenced to 40 lashes for the use of a mobile phone will have to be considered local custom.

Now back to our rams. When I hear compatriots from the lips of my compatriots, that they say, “there, in the West,” I smile skeptically. For it seems like they, that is, compatriots, seriously do not see any difference between educated, wealthy and kind Europeans and our God -bearing people, with dumb persistence that is trying to create an image of Russia as a country of evil idiots. And the point, of course, is not in the mosque. And here the mosque? She became a convenient reason for spiritually unhealthy people to throw out her aggression. Tomorrow, in the place of the mosque, under the squall of the sacred manic, there will be a synagogue, the day after tomorrow - gays and lesbians, and a day later - red and one -legged. Many times I had to say that the main trouble of our people is that he could not instill in himself Christian humanistic principles, hoping for a positive influence from external, state institutions like the Church, the third branch or secret order. One of these unshakable principles invented by the cursed West is the notorious and thousandthly dellened tolerance, without which we will be doomed to a new and new return to the medieval swamp. No need to read multi -volume philosophical treatises. It is only necessary to realize that being tolerant does not mean demanding this from the views of others. To be tolerant means not to impose on others your views. To be tolerant means to understand that you are not doomed to the truth, and the other is not excommunicated from it.

But even this elementary lesson makes us again and again stay in the second year in the first grade. One of the reasons for such a heater is that historically all the pogroms in Russia were overshadowed by a cross - alas, not wooden, but cast iron, which is so convenient to make more smart, talented and successful opponents on the head. This is thought, and at one time led to the largest humanitarian catastrophe, when the people who presented certificates of serviceable participation in church sacraments changed his beliefs and climbed onto the churches, knitting crosses from the domes.

When I am talking about these capital truths, I always recall the ingenious “chicken of Ryaba” Andron Konchalovsky, cut by various fans of our half -sustained eagle. And each time I can be painful for my people to be painful - can we really grow from the pants of our rhino intolerance, envy and mental laziness? Moreover, does the image of the alcoholic that are muttering under the nose of the demonstration with a portrait of Brezhnev are so impressed by us? And how does yesterday’s demarche of the famous poetess-Rusofilka differ from this demonstration, shouting that she “does not understand why the Orthodox Republic needs a mosque”? Yes, then we need good gentlemen, so that tomorrow, come to power in Russia by nationalists of the pagan wing, you, the Orthodox, had the right to go to your church.

It is time to understand that the contesting of human rights to freedom will not be able to bring "to the very essence." But to the bottom of a spiritual fall, to a prominent shirt, to Kolyma - please. This has already happened in our history repeatedly. You look, for understanding this, everyone will begin to do their own thing: the poet - to write poetry, the priest - to treat sore souls, and the graveter - to bury the dead. Yes, so that the latter do not return back.
