Russia: Mufti suggests burning extremist literature
Head of the Coordinating Center of the Muslims of the North Caucasus Ismail Berdiyev believes Russia's federal list of extremist literature is essential.
When asked by Interfax-Religion if it is necessary to create such a list, Berdiyev said, "Sure. Especially here, in the post-Soviet space."
The Mufti explained that people who lived in Soviet system, today experience "spiritual vacuum."
Speaking about books kindling interethnic enmity, Berdiyev offered not to ban them, but rather "collect and burn."
The Mufti laments that today everyone can write "whatever he wishes." "There's no need to ask if it is right or not, here's the trouble," head of the Coordinating Center of the Muslims of the North Caucasus said.
