"Forgive them for they do not know what they are wearing "an incredible statement

laRepubblica.it dà la notizia di un «raid» per le strade di Milano di un'altrimenti ignota associazione "culturale". Lo scopo dell'azione è stato quello di affiggere degli striscioni con la scritta « Pubblicità blasfema - Vergogna! » sui manifesti pubblicitari di una marca di abbigliamento, raffiguranti un uomo morto crocifisso e lo slogan « Perdona loro perché non sanno quello che indossano / Dio salvi il Made in Italy ».


Il coordinatore provinciale del Pdl, Romano La Russa (fratello del più famoso Ignazio), ha dichiarato:
E’ assolutamente immorale utilizzare our Lord for advertising - says La Russa - It 's an insult to all Catholics, and not only make use of the crucifix for commercial purposes. I want to know what would happen if instead of Catholic symbols there had been a publicity associated with depictions of Islam

Some notes on the situation.
  1. Again believers claim the right not to feel offended ; as already said in past, it is a right different from the right not to be offended and an alleged unacceptable (which, among other things, I am not willing to grant each other the others), especially if it is used to prevent others to express themselves.
  2. When it comes to defending crucifixes in classrooms , believers are keen to let us know that the crucifix is \u200b\u200bthere to uphold the cultural heritage of the nation, in cases like this, however, he rears up as Christians, making clear that this is a religious symbol . They decide which of two meanings that symbol has once and for all.
  3. The otherwise unknown group "cultural" claims to refer to the values \u200b\u200bof Western culture and European, someone should inform them that freedom of expression is part of Western culture, indeed, characterization, While the concept of "blasphemy" is the legacy of a dark past.
  4. La Russa asks what would have happened if the poster had used Islamic symbols, I say: at least threats of death and violence, deaths in the worst case and actual violence. And 'this the model that La Russa and his friends have in mind?
