during their visiting session in
The Chairman of Russia Mufties Council informed that the list of prohibited literature will be negotiated by the members of RMC. “The muftis are decisive to request the court, The Federal Security Service and other bodies for what reasons Muslims were not invited to participate in the court session and given the right to protect Muslim literature, who passes the judgement if there is no official conclusion”, he said.
“If the literature does not call for violence, enmity, to national and confessional superiority, moreover, if it doesn’t contain political appeals, then on what basis is this literature prohibited?”, - mufti sheikh Ravil Gaynutdin considers that this issue should be clarified.
Head of Russia Mufties Council also stressed that the inventors of the list of prohibited literature did not apply to a single qualified figure from among Muslims. “It is absurd and deplorable that no Muslim expert, imam or head of Religious board of Muslims was invited to the court session. The court passed without our knowledge, secretly, no one was presented in the place of defendant. In our opinion this is unacceptable.” – proclaimed Ravil Gaynutdin. “Some of the books in the prohibited list are mentioned without author, publishing house and the year of publishing. For example, the book “The bases of Islam”. Whose book is this? Does the book “The bases of Islam” written by me also undergo this prohibition? ”
