It may be day 12 of the Olympics but the fallout from the opening ceremony continues to play out with Parisian police yesterday arresting six Christians who were on a bus driving around Paris to bring attention to the Last Supper parody and its anti-Christian message.

The organisation CitizenGo, which describes itself as “a community of active citizens who work together, using online petitions and action alerts as a resource, to defend and promote life, family, and liberty”, had organised a bus to drive around the French capital emblazoned with the message on its side: “STOP ATTACKS ON CHRISTIANS!".

The move was in response to the down infamous sketch during the opening ceremony in which drag queens, a rotund lesbian and a transexual TV celebrity – and in the presence of a child – parodied the gathering of Christ and the 12 Apostles at the Last Supper.
