Administration of the city Kazan, which is considered the Muslim hub of Russia, has extensive plans of turning the city into an influential centre of business and religious tourism and to attract pilgrims from around the world, like Mecca.

“ISLAM... headchoppers... mo the pedophile child raper”
— You`re talking about some kind of extremism. There are also extremist cults in some other religions too, not only Islam. I`ve been to the Republic of Tatarstan (Kazan is its capital) many times and never seen any agression or extremist behaviour of the muslim locals there. That republic is populated by both muslims and christians and they have no conflicts on religious basis.
Beslan is not a matter of religion, it`s a matter of location. Caucasus and Middle East are known to always be in conflict with other countries and to be involved in wars. It is where terrorism comes from, not from Islam itself.
“Russia is one of the few countries where people of different religious confessions have managed to live in peace for ages with no religion-based conflicts.”
- You have GOT to be joking.”
I`m not joking. It`s my opinion and i have the right to stick to it.
Ah. The perfect defense.
So. The Jewish “Pale” didn’t exist?
Imperial Cossacks didn’t lead Pogroms?
Czarist Okrana didn’t write “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion”?
Lithuanian Catholics weren’t forbidden to erect Crosses in the 19th century?
etc etc etc.
So ignore away. It won’t change the reality.
You have the world in which you live bass ackwards!

I’m not sure if it is officially banned in Russia; however, I did see copies of Borat’s film in the shopping malls in Moscow. Of course many of the DVDs are pirated and some electronics such as cell phone have been previously used... maybe stolen then resold. Not all... but many.
Man, if you don’t think “modern day” terrorism has anything to do with Islam, I suggest you open your eyes.
If you’re simply just an apologist for the Jihadists, then may I suggest a more appropriate forum.

—— First of all i`m not a man, and secondly, you may keep your suggestions for yourself. Yes, i don`t think that it is entirely Islam to blame for terrorism, but this is not a reason for me to go to a different forum. It is probably you who would be more appropriate at some Irlam-haters forum.
What is wrong with hating Islam?
I hate fascism and communism. Is there anything wrong with hating those ideologies?
There are none so blind as those who refuse to open their eyes.
Even if you hate something, other people have the right not to hate the things you hate. It seems that you can never accept the fact that people may have opinions different from yours.
Opinions are not the same as the truth. You’re wrong.
muslims have been attacking non-muslims there for years.
The years of atheistic rule by Stalin and Lenin resulted in great persecution of religious folks.
Jews haver been greatly persecuted by non-Jews and driven from their villages and hated by the villagers.
Why are you supporting islam? Are you muslim?
