IT’S TIME TO MOVE THE OLYMPICS
Why Russia Should Not Be Permitted To Host the 2014 Winter Olympics In Sochi, and Why They Should Instead Be Moved To Another Host City



By George Takei

Many believe that such a call to move the Olympics out of Russia goes too far. Would this be their opinion if the law instead called for the arrest of any Jews, Roman Catholics or Muslims should they display any sign of their religion, such as a wearing a yamaka or praying while facing Mecca? Discrimination in any form is a blight upon the Winter Games, and it must not be tolerated.

1. I agree with him.

And he brings up an excellent point.

Would people really be so willing to ignore this injustice if it were Christians who would be arrested for displaying their faith in public, instead? I doubt it.
