Russia is spinning CharlieHebdo against EU "@jason_corcoran: Kadyrov says he won't let insults against the prophet go without punishment…”

Unreal in Grozny: Kadyrov yells his head off with Allahu Akbar, balloons are released into the sky, the huge crowd yells Allahu Akbar.

Reportedly not everybody wanted to be there:
Staged demo "against caricature of Prophet" in #Grozny. Women apparently begging to be allowed to go home.
