"... men dressed as women in burqas and mocked the Quran."
Bad form. Acceptable for Monty Python perhaps in Middlesex but not Macedonia.
Talk about taunting the Lion!
Yes, by all means, its fault of the cross-dressing mockers of the Quran, and not the followers of the Quran who serve to prove why it so deserves mocking. Religion of peace, nothing to see here.
Glorious multiculturalism. Eventually it's the Phalange versus Hamas and not so funny any more.
"its fault of the cross-dressing mockers"
Yes. Cross-dressing is an integral part of Orthodox life.
