Russia: Muslims Want Their Own Vice President
In a report today from MosNews, Russian Muslims are seeking to have their own vice-presidential post to have representation in the government. The demand is being made by Ravil Gainutdin, head of the Muftis Council. He was speaking on Ekho Moskvy radio.
Such an official will be needed if "the number of Muslims in Russia increases at the current pace, while the demographic situation changes for the worse," Gainutdin said. In his opinion, Muslims deserve to have their interests "represented on the highest level."He conceded that the country did not need a Grand Mufti on a par with the Orthodox Christian patriarch, but thought an organisation which united Russian Muslims would be worthwhile.
A group of 400 Muslims from the Russian republic of Kabardino-Balkaria have written an open letter to President Vladimir Putin, asking to be allowed to leave Russia to go to any European or Asian state where "human rights are respected".
