Moscow: Muslims outraged at xenophobic graffiti

Via RT:

Krganov � vice chairman of the Central Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Russia � said the body had received a large number of complaints from believers over xenophobic graffiti.In particular, they reported such slogans as �Russia is for Russians� covering the walls along the railroad to Moscow�s Domodedovo airport.
