On April 25, the Co-Chairman of the Council of Muftis of Russia, the head of the Spiritual Board of Muslims of the Volga region Mukaddas Bibarsov, during a Friday sermon, expressed his opinion on the documentary film "The Plan of the Caucasus", which was shown on April 22 on Channel One. This film caused indignation among the Muslim public in Russia and abroad. A number of organizations and religious figures have already protested against another anti-Islamic tape.

“Currently, there is an increase in systemic pressure on Muslims,” M. Bibarsov said. “It exists in the media space, where anti-Islamic articles and pictures appear, similar to the documentary sort of, open criminal footage is superimposed on the sacred words for all Muslims "Allahu Akbar" and quotes from the Koran.

In addition, the co-chair of the Council of Muftis said that this film is "another element of pressure on Muslims." Among other elements, he noted the ban on Islamic books, "which is absurd", as well as "criminal charges against Said Baiburin a criminal case in St. against Muslims , deportation as foreigners of activists of pacifist organizations such as the Tabligh movement, etc.".
