Mufti of Moscow Alyautdinov: The media should not mention the nationality of the criminals mention the nationality of the criminals, as this introduces a split in society. He spoke about this in an interview with RIA Novosti.
“When a negative emphasis is placed on a certain nation or confession, we turn some part of society against another. In my opinion, a criminal is a criminal, he is just an individual, a person with a given name or surname, “Alyautdinov said.
According to the mufti, most of the crimes committed by newcomers that appeared on the pages of the media had no national or religious background , therefore, it is unnecessary to mention these factors.
On the other hand, Alyautdinov urged to mention the nation and region of residence of the news heroes, if this is done on an ongoing basis, including in positive news, “if he did something good, celebrate his achievements. ”
In an interview, Alyautdinov also noted that about 3-3.5 million Muslims now live in Moscow. And many of them, apart from the society in which they grew up, “feel a certain freedom and begin to allow themselves what they did not allow at home.” According to him, this could be corrected by an increase in the number of mosques and houses of worship, which are now lacking in the capital. There, people without an “inner core” could be helped to develop “immunity to vices.” and will introduce administrative responsibility for this.
