Russian prosecutors requested a 3½ year prison sentence Friday for a blogger charged with inciting religious hatred for playing "Pokemon Go" in a church.

Prosecutors made the request as the trial of Ruslan Sokolovsky, 22, wrapped up in the city of Yekaterinburg. A judge said a verdict in the case would be issued May 11.

Sokolovsky posted a video on his blog showing him playing the smartphone game in a church built on the supposed spot where the last Russian tsar and his family were killed. He has been in detention since October.

He is charged with inciting religious hatred. It is the same offense that sent two women from the Pussy Riot punk collective to prison for two years in 2012.

    > "source code" books,
    Repeat after me: People are not computers.

    People who read and obey the text in the Koran, Hadith, and Sura are following Islam and are thus Muslim. Those who do not are not. This is the primary reason why there are so many Muslims murdering other "Muslims".

    you are profoundly ignorant of islam

    Once again, I refer you to the excellent English resource on Islam, an indepth analysis using Islam's own books, that is found at prophetofdoom.net

    By that criteria there is no such thing as a muslim as nobody can possibly do all that because not only is there is so much aracana in there, plenty of it is contradictory.
    People of all faiths pick and choose not only what scripture to follow, but what the scripture even means.

    People are not computers, but you are an ignorant robot mentally enslaved to a conspiratorial protocols of the elders of islam website.

      I'm happy to see that we have the official Arbiter Of All Things Islam here with us today.

      People of all faiths pick and choose not only what scripture to follow, but what the scripture even means.

      Silly me - I thought that words actually [quran.com] had [quran.com] specific [ucg.org] meanings [quran.com].

      you are an ignorant robot

      Sounds like your projection is flaring up again. You could try refuting the message [prophetofdoom.net], instead of flailing weakly at the messenger.

      Last scripture is the one with precedence.

        Correct insofar as Islam's books are concerned, and the term for that is abrogation [quran.com].
