"is iran aware of this?"

Sure... but I doubt Iran will kick up any fuss (too much bidness going on between the two).

... But the Cheknians seem --- at the moment --- to be the main Islamic threat the Ruskies face.

Re: "In 2003 the Sakharov Museum outraged many Russian Orthodox believers with the art exhibit "Be Careful -- Religion," which many felt was insulting to their beliefs."

Excellent! At least it shows the museum is being consistent in it's policies --- 'goring the oxe' of no ONE religion.

(Of course, with the official Atheism of the Russian government in the recent past, and the large portion of the population that is a-religious to this day, much like Europe... are they really going out on much of a limb, socially, by mounting an exhibit that questions religion, or extolls the freedom from religious orthodoxy?
