Quote for the Day - Geraldine Fagan, Forum 18

"Despite [then Prime Minister Vladimir] Putin's assurances during his December 2010 telethon that a new mosque would be built in Moscow, the city still had only three official mosques by 2012. By contrast, a construction plan for 200 new Orthodox churches in the capital spearheaded by Patriarch Kirill continues apace."
