Russian Muslims Protest Ban On Radical Islamist Literature


hahaha. Welcome to the nightmare, Russia! I wonder if the protests are coming from CAIR-Leningrad branch? : ) Anyway, the mussies of Russia are all up in arms over literature being banned in Russia and the difference is the Russian government I'm sure could give a shit less. Here's the details from Breitbart:


Russia's highest Muslim council on Saturday issued a protest against a ban on some Islamic publications considered by the authorities to be "extremist."
The Council of Muftis "has taken a decision to request that the relevant institutions of the Russian Federation carry out a repeat analysis of the books," the council said in a statement.
Starting last year, the authorities have compiled a regularly updated list of publications seen as breaking sweeping new laws against extremism. Most of the banned books are linked to Islam.
The council said it was "seriously concerned" that there was no official committee to analyse the literature and accused the experts who compiled the list of doing so "tendentiously and subjectively."

I wonder...is that the Council of Muftis or the Council of Misfits? Perhaps that is a typo, eh?

But, I would guess that sooner or later, the ever growing numbers of muslims in Russia is going to bring things to a head. I guess we will know the world's days are numbered when we see the Russians start to appease like the French and British. Actually, not that long ago the Russians bent down for the mo followers in allowing muslim women to wear head scarves for passport pictures. I've always hoped for the Russians to do some sort of internal purge of the ragheads - that would be an interesting turn of events.

The Council of Muftis, which represents Russia's 20 million Muslims, on Saturday also called for a "balanced" approach in a criminal inquiry against a Moscow editor accused of publishing one of the banned books.
