In a recent public presentation, Amangeldy Gumirovich “Aman” Tuleyev, the governor of the Kemerovo Province in Russia, called upon the Russian nation and people to find unity in these troubling times, and to find it specifically in the Person and teachings of Jesus Christ, as seen in a newscast from vesti42.ru.
The Kemerovo Province sits 2,100 miles to the east of Moscow. Governor Tuleyev, who invoked Christ in his recent talk, won the governorship in 1997 with 95% of the votes, and was re-elected in 2015 with 96.9% of the votes, which is the all-time high for Russia.
“It’s a difficult, restless time, like never before,” the governor stated, “We need unity—unity for all of us.”
“Clergy, heads of all sectors of society—Church, state, and all of our people … we must all solve all of our tasks together—security, stability, the peaceful life of our people…” Tuleyev stated. And offering a solution, he continued, “Our Lord Jesus Christ gives us such unity… Why Christ? For more than 2,000 years already He has had such colossal influence on people, and on their whole lives.”
It is noteworthy that Tuleyev, a politician since 1990, was condemned to death by the Islamic Shura of Chechnya in 1999 when rumors circulated that he, a Muslim, had been baptized in the Orthodox Church. Theologians from Chechnya and Dagestan called for him to be killed as soon as possible. Tuleyev denied it at the time, stating that he was not religious at all, though in the present talk he speaks of “our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Bttt
The muzzie version of Yeshua is totally different than the Christian belief in Him.
Muzztards don’t call him “Lord”.
Do Muslims believe that Jesus was the son of God? NO "Say: "God is Unique! God, the Source [of everything]. He has not fathered anyone nor was He fathered, and there is nothing comparable to Him!" (Quran 112:1-4). The Quran also states: "Such was Jesus, the son of Mary; it is a statement of truth, about which they vainly dispute. It is not befitting to the majesty of God, that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! When He determines a matter, He only says to it, ‘Be' and it is" (Quran 19:34-35).
Right ... so if he’s referring to “Our Lord Jesus Christ”, he’s not thinking like a muzztard.
Tuleyev might be a Muslim but he is a governor of a majority Christian and partially Buddhist state. Do you expect him to finish election speech with ‘Aloha snackbar’?
