MUFTI CONCERNED BY RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE IN RUSSIA
By empty (1/10/2006 issue of the CACI Analyst)
Slogans sowing national discord are unacceptable in Russia, according to Head of the Russian Council of Muftis Ravil Gainutdin. \"We should not forget that Russia has been a multinational and multi confessional country, not only since recent migration, but since the time of Ancient Rus, occupied by no less than twenty nations,\" Gainutdin said addressing several thousand believers in a Moscow Jami celebrating the religious holiday Kurban Bayram. \"Slogans such as \"Russia for Russians!\" and negative attitude to certain nationalities and to Muslims are openly hostile to our state and its interests,\" he said.Visit also
