Muslims want, and Orthodox Church opposes, Crescent added to Russian Eagle
"The Russian state emblem has a history of many centuries and it has stood the test of time. It has not been supplanted by Soviet symbols, which are falling into oblivion at an enormous speed, while the symbols, historically justified, are again finding their due place in Russia's life," Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin, the head of the Synodal Department for Church and Society Relations, told Interfax-Religion on Friday.
"It would be unfair to revise this symbol from the point of view of Russia's historical heritage, the more so since the Muslim symbols - the Crescent, for instance - could be very well used in the regional emblems in the predominantly Muslim regions - there are such regions in this country," he said.
Father Vsevolod was commenting on head of Russia's Muslim Board Talgat Tajuddin's interview. "We are only asking to crown one head of the double-headed eagle on the state emblem with the Crescent and the other with the Orthodox Cross. And let the Cross and the Crescent be capped by the crown in the middle," Tajuddin said.
The Mufti backed polygamy, saying, "Some are putting this Koran principle into life already, marrying two, three, or four women." "Four lawfully-wedded wives are better than 40 mistresses. Russian men have 40 mistresses, each," he said.
Father Vsevolod said in this connection that he profoundly respects Mufti Tajuddin and the Russian Muslim community.
"However, Orthodox Christians have always cherished the union between one man and one woman as their marriage ideal. This is the choice the religious majority has made in our society. This choice must always be kept in mind, for all respect for traditional exceptions," he said.

Ever heard of "Game" and human biodiversity? They claim that the West is declining because we don't have polygamy.
I am neither a "Game" (read: pick up artistry) or human biodiversity (read: Scientific racism) advocate. If the problem is not enough screwing like rabbits... well, that's not a problem since Western society is absolutely obsessed with that. The thing that Islamic polygamy has that neither of these pseudoconservative fads do is a strong sense of community and unwavering tradition. Plus, despite Islam's homicidal tendencies, they tend to place a high value on fertility. "Gamers" see baby-having as a major liability, and human biodiversity types see it as a duty (but a very inconvenient, burdensome one).
Frankly I am surprised how long Orthodox Christianity has survived, given the high esteem we give for celibacy.
Translate the below into Russian or Old Church Slavonic:
Moreover, I think that Mecca must be destroyed. /Cato
Where would they even put the crescent? Where could it possibly fit?

Do they? "Game" advocates who think about such things will tell you the West is declining because it rejects patriarchy. HBD'ers point to infecundity, which hardly follows from monogamy.
Game works because it teaches men how to act like women want men to act, as opposed to how women say they want men to act. Game has a big following among married men, btw.
HBD explains phenomenon which politically correct theories fail to explain, such as the achievement gap between racial groups despite any level of public spending, intervention, etc.
