When an unidentified man -- believed to be from the Caucasus -- stabbed and killed a young ethnic Russian on October 10, triggering the capital's worst ethnic riots in three years, police made hundreds of arrests. By late on October 13, they had wrested the southern district of Biryulyovo from Russian nationalists, who had overturned cars, smashed windows and stormed a vegetable warehouse looking for migrants.

But by October 14, nearly all the rioters had been released from custody. And now, the authorities have apparently turned their sights on the migrants.

tell them to assimilate and they won’t have problems

Assimilate inthe culture
Moderate the extremists parts of their “religion”

I have no problem with people wearing funny hats and preying several times a day..

I DO HAVE problems with people treating women like cattle, forcing people to accomadate every crazy rtiual they have and treating other people like sh!t because they are not in their backwards hate cult.

It appears that the Russians know what to do about illegal aliens who refuse to assimilate.
