Orthodox Christianity and Islam are based on the same fundamental values, President Vladimir Putin said in an address to a religious conference in Kyrgyzstan.
The conference, titled "Orthodoxy and Islam — Religions of Peace," aimed to promote interethnic and interreligious dialogue between Russia and Kyrgyzstan.
"Islam and Orthodox Christianity, just like other world religions, are based on fundamental humanistic values that are of enduring importance — on mercy and love for one’s near, justice and respect for human beings," the state-run TASS news agency quoted Putin as saying Thursday.
The address, which was read out to the conference by Russian Ambassador to Kyrgyzstan Nikolai Udovichenko, pushed for cooperation between government agencies and religious organizations to bolster "civil peace and accord" between the two countries.
The Russian president added that it is "essential" to preserve these ties for future generations and to “[enhance] the role of religious organizations in protecting and promoting spiritual, moral and family values.”
Islam is Russia’s second-largest religion behind Orthodox Christianity and its Muslim population is expected to more than double in the next 15 years. The majority of Kyrgyzstan's population is Muslim.
This guy is an eel, not to be trusted. His comments are designed to do one thing...gain, consolidate, and strengthen power. If this troll thought being pro-LGBT etc would do the trick, he'd be flying a rainbow flag over the Kremlin and Pussy Riot would be the House band.
Yea, the Cold War is over but lying liars continue to lie. He is as trustworthy as Schiff and Pelosi, and as honest as Hillary.
Minus the raping, beheadings, enslaving. I think not Mr. Putin. You have now just made yourself as dumb as most Europeans.
Putin needs a tall tree and a short rope...
No... Islam is incompatible with western culture and Christianity. Putin knows better than to tie Christianity with Islam in any form be it fundamentals or common beliefs.
Islam is not a religion... Islam is a cult-like, political ideology masquerading as a religion that imposes a totalitarian state-theocracy governed by Sharia Law which is composed of & regulates all civil, religious, legal, political, economic, social, cultural and military components. The word “Sharia”, means “The Way.”
Islam is a complete, total, 100% system that governs all Muslim life. Muslims have absolutely no allegiance to anything other than Islam and its state.
“Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life,” Dr. Hammond notes in his book. “Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other components.”
Islam is a political system that calls for global subjugation/submission under Sharia.
Islam is like the Terminator... It can’t be bargained with, it can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until we are all assimilated or...
Pute is an idiot.
One has The God who created the universe and all of Heaven...the other has a god...
Except for the core Christian values of “Love your neighbor as yourself” and “Love your enemy”, right Putin?
Politicians often say things they don’t mean
Here’s the thing there’s Muslims- and then there’s Islamists - there’s a very stark difference between the two- my company is run by very nice Muslims
they don’t have a jihadist bone in their body
What these people believe is a fairytale version of Islam
The commie over Putin’s left shoulder doesn’t agree.
For Russia, moslems are like Mexicans are here. Even worse, they’ve had them go on the attack a few times and fight it out. He has to throw em a bone every now and then and say something nice.
But you knew that already.
yes i have met some apparently non-aggressive Moslems too
its when they listen to (many of) their imams that all Hell breaks loose
there are SO many sections of their koran that teach hatred or contempt or just simply subjugation of Christians and Jews
and many of the imams choose to preach from those parts ...
there ARE other parts that are better, and there are even parts where their god allah instructs them that the Promised Land belongs to the Jews
but the imams don’t choose to preach those parts, alas
so this makes Islam so extremely very very very dangerous for Christians, Jews, western civilization, and everyone else on earth (Hindis, etc)
C’mon Vlad, you’re smarter than that.
Putin flunked out of the same divinity school as Algore.
You’re on the weak horse, Vladdie
Liberty(right Rush?)/Freedom/Individuals/Christianity paid a heavy price to get into The Collectivist’s Cup. It battled down the backstretch but broke down in the far turn (they shoot horses don’t they?). Down the stretch it was Marx vs. Mohammed. At the wire it was Mohammed by a head.
Analysis of “Milestones” - Sayyid Qutb (VERY fascinating book if you have the time)
Qutb’s ideological consequence has been compared to that of Hitler and he has been deemed “as significant [to Islamism] as Lenin was to Communism.” The sweeping influence of Qutb’s work has earned him the designation of “[the radical Islamic] Karl Marx” and, unequivocally, “the Arab world’s first important theoretician of the Islamist cause.”

The Bible is not a war plan and neither is the Constitution. Yours was just an upstart totalitarian state compared to Islam, Vladdie. Still properly subdued from Beslan, eh?
Sounds like something obozo would say. He may be in Russia writing lines for Putin!
Does anyone know what this means?
“”on mercy and love for one’s near, justice and respect for human beings,””
Sounds like Putin doesn’t know what’s going on in the world!
Before his having said this, I thought he was reasonably intelligent. Now I wonder.
Google: The Gulag was the government agency in charge of the Soviet forced-labour camp-system that was set up under Vladimir Lenin and reached its peak during Joseph Stalin's rule from the 1930s to the early 1950s.
