On October 23, the Chairman of the Spiritual Assembly of Muslims of Russia, Mufti Albir Krganov, stated during a broadcast on the Tsargrad TV channel that approximately 200,000 Russian Muslims are currently fighting in the conflict, as reported by IslamNews.
The discussion on the channel also touched upon the construction of a mosque in the Kommunarka area of Moscow. Local residents had submitted a petition opposing the construction.
In response to a journalist's question during the broadcast, the mufti stated that this "spiritual center is being built primarily for the citizens of Russia."
"These citizens," he clarified, "are those who are fulfilling their civic duty."
He mentioned that there are currently 25 million Muslims living in Russia, of whom "200,000, if not more, are currently fighting in 'their' conflict, and all of them are citizens with Russian passports."
IslamNews also reported that a book has been published in Russia on Muslim "military-spiritual service," which notes that most of the Heroes of Russia during the conflict are from Dagestan.
As previously reported, in Uganda, Muslims burned a Christian pastor and his family in their home at night.
