I used to think Russia was the bad boy of the past and the good boy of today because of Russian resistance against the US attempts to isolate certain Muslim countries/governments. The Russians on the Iran issue talk of the importance of santions not hitting businesess which have no concern the with nuclear issue, and other stuff like making sure the Iranian officials are able to travel freely, moral issues.
And yet at the same time they are committing atrocities in the Chechnya republic. That issue is rarely reported in the media so a lot of the people arent aware of whats going on. Russia really need to get out of Chechnya and make peace, its not like the Chechans are trying to take over Russia, they just want to live peacefully, freely and independantly, may Allah make liberate Chechnya from Russian invasion, Ameen. Russia and China have the potential to be friends and allies of the Muslim World, hopefully these issues can be resolved quickly.
Salam bro
The crimes of the Russians agaisnt Muslims in Chechnya and the North Caucaus have been going on for 400 years - this problem isnt new at all and there is no reason to think it is going to end any time soon.
Russia hates Islam and Muslims - the Muslim world has to realise that.
Do you know in Chechnya if your a young guy and have a long enough beard, thats enough for you to be labelled a "******" and be thrown into a torture camp - or if your a sister that wears hijab properly you can expect the same kind of treatment.
When Putin was asked some tough questions about Chechnya - he couldnt answer and instead told the reporter if he was so interested in the affairs of Chechens, he (Putin) would be willing to chop his penis of and make him a Muslim ( mocking the islamic practice of circumsion).
Russians will never care about Islam or Muslims. Russia is more brutal than the US and Israel put together when it comes to "dealing" with Muslims.
