The Mufti of Povolzhye is speaking about the
terrorist acts in the U.S.A.: "
A religious person is not capable of doing this"
The Chairman of the Muslim Clerical Department of
Povolzhye Mufti Mukhaddas
Bibarsov has declared to the "Islam.Ru" in the
interview, that a religious
person - a Muslim, a Christian or a Jewish can
not be involved in the
terrorist acts, which took place in Washington
and New-York on September,
11th, 2001". " The tragedy that took place in the
U.S.A., was a keen sorrow
for al the people of our planet. However, there
are politicians ( the
Minister of Israel Natan Sh'aranskiy is one of
them) who are (on every
Channel of Mass Media), using their political
goals and the tragic
situation, making conclusions that it were
Muslims who provoked the
terrorist acts. I have no doubts that Muslims
don't have such an amount of
money, which has been spent on the explosion
organizing. Also I'd like to
stress that terrorist acts are not beneficial
first of all for Muslims"-
Bibarsov said.

Subject: Islam.ru: The Russian Muftis Council's
announcement about the
terrorist acts in the U.S.A.
The Russian Muftis Council's announcement about
the terrorist acts in the
U.S.A.
In connection with the terrorist act that took
place in the U.S.A. on
September, 11th, 2001 resulting in the death of
thousands of innocent
people, the Russian Muftis Council is announcing:
We are praying the
Almighty Allah that he spread his mercy upon all
the perished and support
the spirit of the victims and their relatives.
Islam teaches us that the
human being is a supreme creature of Allah; that
is why, a person who killed
another one unjustfully, is considered to be the
killer of all the humanity.
On the 11th of September thousands and thousands
of people, who didn't
threaten anyone, who came to their working places
or just happened to be
there, were killed. Such terrorist acts are not
justified neither by God nor
by people. The Russian Muftis Council is
censuring a new terrorist crime and
a terrorism in general in all its forms.
Political and economic issues must
be solved peacefully, as Islam teaches us:
founded on a "peaceful
agreement". The victims were of different
religions, Muslims were probably
among them, Christians and Jewish as well. No
monotheistic religion approves
of killing an innocent person. We, Russians,
know, not by hearsay, what
terrorism is. The Muslims of Daghestan
experienced that 2 years ago. We are
worried that extremism and terrorism is covered
with a religion and use
Islamic symbolism in their antihuman and
antireligious actions. We also
think the position of some public figures and
politicians, who look for
benefit from the tragedy with the purpose of
gaining political dividends and
approve of terrorism in terms of a new policy of
some governments
inadmissible. Whatever a new policy is, peaceful
innocent people are being
killed; and this can not be justified by any
ideological purposes. Political
gloating regarding the peaceful people
destruction is blasphemous. We
support the stand of the Russian President
V.V.Putin on this tragedy: "We
need the consolidated efforts of the whole
society, all the countries in the
Terrorism Prevention Campaign. The Russian Mufti
Council is ready to help
our country and people to struggle against this
"21st Century plague".

According to the internet article, Russia's foreign intelligence special envoy told the CIA that there were at least two Uzbeks, former residents from Ferghana, among the suicide terrorists.

just the beginning, and that the next target of the terrorists will be an
American nuclear facility." said the report. |
