Russia Today: The Russian President has said the country’s Muslim leaders together with state authorities must counter the modern tendency of bringing politics into religion and making it radical.
“Some political forces are using Islam, or, to be more precise, its radical movements that have never been popular among Russian Muslims, to weaken our state and to create regions with foreign-managed conflicts on Russian territory,” Putin said at the celebration of the 225th anniversary of the Central Spiritual Administration of Russian Muslims – the body responsible for cooperation between Muslims and state officials.
“An active and not always positive process of bringing politics into religion, including Islam, is currently going on in the world. In such conditions, the Russian Muslim community is facing new problems and tasks. We can solve them only together,” the Russian President added.
Putin also noted that Muslims must counter attempts to bring strife between them and the rest of the society by maintaining their historical traditions. He said that despite the diversity of schools and movements within the Muslim faith Russian Muslims “had always been united in their service to the society and the state”.

This is in fact a very important point. The CIA has started by using the Mujahedeen to oust the Russian army from Afghanistan. And Israel has helped in creating Hamas to divide the Palestinian vote (which at the time was 100% for Arafat). And both plans worked so well that it is continuing. Now jihadis are being financed to bring down Assad of Syria (cheaper than a US invasion). It is therefore logical that the same tool could be used to create disorder in Russia as well. (Of course the blame does not only lie with CIA and Mossad, but with the Muslim groups who allow themselves to be used as tools!!!!).
