Jews are the enemies of Allah, says the head of Chechnya’s Muslim community, who also accused “the Zionists” of genocide.
The spiritual leader of the Muslim community in Chechnya issued a scathing indictment of Jews and Judaism recently, blaming Jews for the decline of religious observance among Muslims.
Over the weekend, the Grozny Inform news site reported that last month the Chechen talk show “Chechen History, War and Peace” hosted Sheikh Salah Mezhiev, the supreme mufti of Chechnya and chairman of the Spiritual Administration of the Muslims of the Chechen Republic.
According to the report, during the interview, Mezhiev called Jews “the enemies of Allah” and blamed Judaism for religious challenges to Islam, including atheism and “Satanism.”
