Watch: Russian President Putin kisses Holy Quran
Ary News ^ | 22AUG2024 | Staff

Posted on 08/27/2024 1:09:41 AM PDT by AdmSmith

Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the Muslim-majority region of Chechnya on Wednesday, marking his first trip to the area in 13 years. The visit has garnered significant attention, particularly after a video surfaced showing Putin respectfully kissing a gifted Quran and holding it close to his heart.

Upon arrival, Putin received a warm welcome from Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, with whom he discussed strengthening bilateral relations, military, trade, and economic ties. The two leaders have consistently demonstrated strong relations, with Kadyrov frequently referring to Putin as a close friend in media interactions. During the visit, Russian president, accompanied by Kadyrov and the Grand Mufti of Chechnya, spent time at the Isa Prophet Mosque in the capital, Grozny. At the mosque, the Russian president was presented with a gold-encrusted Holy Quran, which he kissed and held to his chest.

In the video, President Vladimir can be seen receiving the Holy Quran and kissing it as soon as he held it as an act to show respect for the Islamic faith.

Today, Islam is the second-largest religion in Russia, with approximately 26 million followers, or 15% of the total population. Estimates suggest that Muslims will make up one-third of Russia's population by 2050. https://www.wam.ae/en/article/13tpze9-islam-russia-unique-blend-history-modernity

Who do you think despises his own citizens the most? Obama, Starmer, or Putin?

Communism’s been trying to stamp out Christianity for decades (opium of the people and all that).

This is the endgame for totalitarian regimes - only the most brutal totalitarians win.

Rhetorical question: which fits that role better, Communism or radical Islam?

Largely if not completely symbolic and political; a way to foster peace, albeit a false peace.

One of the narratives of this war is that Putin is the “savior” of Christianity and Christian values, and the bulwark against the global homo new world order.

Kissing the koran proves otherwise, along with his “SMO”, and there is no peace with Islam, and Putin and Russia is learning this lesson as well.
Just my two cents

“Russian President Putin kisses Holy Quran”

Is that what it takes to keep Muslim terrorists off your back?

Putin is trying to recruit Muslims into the military. The entire western military industrial complex is at war with Russia and they are running out of recruits

Sadly no, for the time being. I am old enough to remember Lebanon being the play ground of the rich and famous

Marxists and Muslims joined forces years ago. Ask Carlos the Jackal.

They determined in the seventies that Islam by itself , nor communism by itself could take down the west, but an alliance of the two could.

Barack Obama was both.

Starmer, unless you meant Michelle Obama and not Barack.;-)

I think Barack is just a typical Marxist. And most of his friends are white folks.

Putin is just placating the 10% of his population that is Muslim.

Putin would blow the Koran if he had to.

He is recruiting soldiers in Chechnya, and he needs the Imams to do it.

[The Russian] Minister of Defence Belousov was upset by Putin kissing the Koran

The Minister of Defense was very upset and disappointed by the video of the president kissing the Koran in a Grozny mosque. Andrei Belousov shared his emotions with a number of people from his circle.

“Andrei Removich understands that the president must respect all religions of our country. But kissing the Koran... It's somehow too much to single out Islam. We are a multinational state with different religions. But the Russian army is, first and foremost, an Orthodox army. We are blessed to fight evil by the Orthodox Church. Therefore, kissing the Koran, let's say, upsets. And it unpleasantly surprises many, not only Andrei Removich,” said a source close to Belousov. He suspected that “a certain lobby” is being formed in Russia that does not want our army to be “predominantly Orthodox.” This may be the reason for blocking one of Belousov’s ideas - the introduction of mandatory prayers for the military at the front. “Andrei Removich was simply told that the idea is good, but it is not the time yet. How can prayer interfere at all?” our interlocutor was indignant. At the same time, not everyone in the Kremlin liked the video in which Vladimir Vladimirovich kisses the Koran. According to our information, Sergei Kiriyenko demanded that it be “published as little as possible in Telegram channels and in various media outlets, so as not to create unnecessary image risks.”

According to ИТОГИ недели 19-24.08.2024 @SergueiJirnov и @GeneralSVR “A man that looks like Putin went to Kadyrov and kissed the Quran, although Putin has never kissed the bible, just the ground, a boys butt and icons.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IkTFqCv9Ao

The question is: Who pushed Putin to kiss the Quran? Was it Nikolaj Patrushev or Sergey Chemezov?

Do you have any idea?

Yep, Lebanon was once called the Jewel of the Middle East.

That ended when newly elected Bachir Gemayel won the election for President of Lebanon. He was never sworn in.
