Chief Mufti of Russia Talgat Tadzhuddin, who has also served as the head of the Central Muslim Spiritual Directorate of Russia, said in an April 30, 2022 interview on Sky News Arabia (UAE) that fighting alongside Russian forces in Ukraine constitutes a holy jihad for Muslims, and that any Muslim who dies in the fight is a martyr. He explained that the Spiritual Directorate has issued a fatwa on this subject, and gave examples of previous Russian victories over the Nazis and Western powers. In addition, he said that the U.S. was founded on the annihilation of native Americans and asked: "Does this have to repeat itself in Iraq, in Libya, in Syria, or in Afghanistan?"

Talgat Tadzhuddin: "The Central Muslim Spiritual Directorate in Russia issued a fatwa that Muslims who are taking part in the [Ukraine] war... We consider this war to be a war to defend the homeland. Muslims who participate in this war... They should participate in it, because about 20% of our country's army consists of Muslims. This is how it has been for a long time. So whoever is taking part in the defense of the homeland and our sanctities... In all the monotheistic religions, this is considered a holy war for the defense of the homeland. This is not done by oppression or coercion. So a [Muslim] who dies while participating in this war is considered a martyr.
America Was Founded "By Annihilating The Indians And The Bison... Does This Have To Repeat Itself In Iraq, Libya, Syria, Or Afghanistan?"
"We are defending our homeland. [Ukraine] is our neighbor. From there, in 1941, millions of [soldiers] of the fascist German army entered [Russia]. Our parents and my grandfather fought them and reached all the way to Berlin, and before that, in the days of Napoleon, to Paris. So this is undisputed.

"In America, when they founded their country, they began by annihilating the Indians and the bison. On this, they founded their country. Does this have to repeat itself in Iraq, in Libya, in Syria, or in Afghanistan?"
> I haven’ t seen anyone that thinks that the war is about saving Christians. <
Sorry. I did not mean to imply that some folks think Putin is somehow saving Christians. It’s more of a values thing. There have been a few posts here that paint the war as one of traditional Christian values vs. decadent ‘One World’ corruption.
Putin might have some plausible reasons for his invasion. But I doubt very much that he did it to defend Christian values.
Actually, he probably recognizes that sucking up to Putin in public is the best way to avoid the fate of most of Putin’s enemies.
The muslims in russia should demand of the mufti that he go first.
“Chief Mufti Of Russia says his house is being foreclosed on: A Fatwa Has Been Issued Obligating Muslims To Fight Against Unholy Money Lenders; This Is A Holy Jihad, Those Who Die Fighting Are Martyrs”

Here's three threads alone.
Just read the replies. You will see them here.
Not anyone? You might want to read what Patriarch Kirill, the leader of the Russian Orthodox Church, has to say about that.
Well, there you go. Obviously all Americans should support this Muslim jihad on Ukraine.
(Not a slam against Orthodoxy at all. Just a way to sow discord among the troops.)
The clock is a nice touch. You don’t have to look away to check your watch.
Well played, sir.
You go get em’.
The Mormon church should baptize them posthumously.🤔
Methinks the explanation for the mufti’s disjointed rhetoric is hashish. The stuff that has a “cobra” stamped on each bar.

Muslims were aligned with and fighting for the Nazis during WWII...this kinda shows that Putin’s excuses are BS
yes...Muslims everywhere should go to Ukraine and fight along side Russia..the Uke’s new hardware needs fresh targets...someone tell the Biden crime machine that there’s a bacon shortage in the Ukraine, he’’ll send all our bacon there immediately..then the Ukes will have something to wrap the corpses in
I hope plenty of them become martyrs for allah.
Russians and Caucasus/Chechen Muslims fighting each other. OK. Afterlife Virgin shortage, popcorn shortage. Otherwise, no issues.
OH. Fighting alongSIDE Russia. Same difference.
