The Mufti of the Muslims of Crimea Hajji Emirali Ablaev urges Muslims of the peninsula to remain calm, despite the fires that occurred at two mosques on October 13 and 15, which he believes were acts of arson, reports UNIAN-Religion.
“Dear fellow believers! In these sacred days for every Muslim Eid al-Adha, the Spiritual Board of Muslims of Crimea, unfortunately, is forced to address you not only with greetings. On October 13-15, in the Crimea there have again been attempts to provoke interreligious conflict,” the mufti said in a statement.
In addition to the fires in Saky and the Krasnohvardiyskiy district, Ablaev reported that there have been “attempts to seize land” in the Simferopol district, which, according to him, was previously allocated for the construction of a Muslim religious building.
“The Spiritual Board of Muslims of Crimea addresses fellow believers with a call to maintain the stability of the spirit, to show diligence, not to be provoked,” said the mufti.
