Ramzan Kadyrov
The head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov called the act of Caucasians who insulted and slapped in the face Buddhists in Moscow, unworthy. On Tuesday, September 19, he wrote in the Telegram.
“I threw a video in which a young man supposedly who considers himself a Muslim, has the face of Buddhist. (…) A true Muslim will never hurt the weak, the innocent man,” — said Kadyrov.
“This posturing and advertising. That such people only spoil the relationship between religions, provoke ethnic and religious conflicts,” he added.
Earlier Tuesday, the Telegram channel Mash appeared captured in Gorky Park video. According to records, two young men ask a man if he’s a Buddhist; after he nods, punching him in the face and rude name-calling.
The publication was signed Mash thus: “You are me, you bastards, even for Myanmar will respond. Dagestan peacekeepers fight for justice on the streets of Moscow”.
Commenting on this in the social network, Kadyrov asked, “what does this guy’s a Buddhist” and “what is the connection with those who are satisfied with the genocide of Muslims in Myanmar”. “Should be punished as devils those who commit crimes, not those who peacefully live and honest work earns for his family”, — stressed the head of Chechnya.
The situation in Myanmar and the Rakhine state, escalated in late August, after the militants “Arakan salvation army Rohingya” have attacked dozens of police stations. Then began the military operation. Victims of clashes have killed more than 400 people. The Myanmar authorities, most of the population is Buddhists, Muslims do not recognize ethnic Rohingya as citizens, they are denied access to health services and lack of food.
The UN has described the situation in Myanmar for ethnic cleansing. According to the International organization for migration, after the latest violence, the number of Rohingya who fled to Bangladesh, exceeded 420 thousand people.
