The Muslims in Moscow are planning to construct a huge new mosque on the shores of the Holy Lake.
It is planned to be built large enough to fit more than 60,000 Muslims during prayer time. The initial blueprints show a size 4 times larger than Moscow’s Christ the Savior Cathedral.
This has upset many local Orthodox Christians, who live and have lived near the shores of the Holy Lake for many generations.
They do not agree with the majority migrant population of Moscow’s Muslims purchasing vast amounts of property nearby, building up the area and turning it into the center of an Islamic diaspora. Their voices are currently being silenced in the media. Unfortunately people like Ramzan Kadyrov, who is not from Moscow, has spoken out calling those unhappy with the decision ‘provocateurs & cowards’. His opinion of course should not be heavily taken into consideration, as he is from Chechnya and is not an Orthodox Christian, nor is he a migrant of any sort, nor does he represent the Muslim community of Moscow (which is very diverse, both Sunni & Shia included).
According to Orthodox Tradition, on the site of the Holy Lake there was once regular parish church. During the 11th century, when Russia was torn apart by civil wars, a miracle occurred, the local townspeople ran into the church for safety seeking aid from the Miracle-Working Icon of the Theotokos that was held there. Suddenly, She appeared, surrounded by angels of light - Cherubim (as seen in the Old Testament). The angels began to sing, and clear water rushed out from under it, quickly forming a lake - the Church miraculously began submerging, the angels continued their singing until all was still. The same narrative regarding the church states that those within its walls have not died, but will come again during the End Times, the Church of the Holy Lake will emerge.
Since those wary centuries, many thousands of Russian Orthodox folks have visited the lake - it has of course been blessed hundreds of times during the Feast Day of Theophany (Christ’s Baptism) in January of every year.
I believe the voices of the Russian Orthodox Christians living by the lake, and in nearby areas need to be considered - before the shores of this great & ancient site are overshadowed by tall minaret towers.
We must remember that Moscow, and Russia itself, was built by Orthodox Christian Russians - with the assistance of others of course, but by Orthodox Christians.
Moscow itself is the Third Rome. It’s Kremlin is the center of the modern Orthodox world. It’s Holy Dormition Cathedral will see the anointing of the future Orthodox Emperor, as prophesied by the saints.
God’s Will be done.
Putinists be mad.
Do not allow the construction of the Mosque in Moscow, if Moscow really is the III Rome, at no time should they allow Muslims to colonize Moscow, do not make the same mistakes that are made in the West, Expel them as was done with the Circassians, the Tsars laid the Path.

Ramzan Kadyrov said Tuesday that the Moscow residents who have been protesting the construction of a new mosque since February (they fear it will bring traffic, migrants, and crime) should “go ahead to the trenches with machine guns” and “walk the walk.”

...and meanwhile, Ukraine is SHUTTING DOWN churches and ARRESTING their leaders.
Guess which side we’re on there...
Muzzies should be banned from planet earth!
Reminds me of end-days acts of desperation like the Nazi’s before they fell. I never understood regimes like this, they persecute their own people while waging war on others.
It’s a good thing we are not like that. (oh, wait a minute, hmmm, maybe that end-days shoe fits here too)
Russia is on track to become a majority muslim nation by the end of the century. Perhaps as early as 2050.
Kadyrov’s fighters threaten to declare war against demonstrators who are protesting against the construction of the largest mosque in Moscow

Difference being that in Russia, Muslims have been there for 1000 years (or something like that). In the US, YOUR BUDDIES in the White House invited them in, by the MILLIONS.
Putin: Insulting Prophet Muhammad is not freedom of expression
Russian President Vladimir Putin has said insulting Prophet Muhammad does not count as freedom of expression.
Insults to the prophet are a “violation of religious freedom and the violation of the sacred feelings of people who profess Islam,”, Putin said on Thursday during his annual news conference, Russian News Agency TASS reported.

Tell your Putin to shut down the Holy Lake mosque.
And all of that history went away when the communists took power
They do not agree with the majority migrant population of Moscow What does that mean? That muslims are the majority of Moscow or just make up the majority of those who migrated to Moscow?

Putin knows the same thing that Xi Jinping knows. Muslims migrate to a country on the pretext of assimilating but actually mean to conquer and form a Caliphate under Sharia Law.
