March 5, 2011 Head of the Council of Muftis of Russia Ravil Gainutdin appealed to the Prosecutor General of Russia Yuri Chaika with a request not to allow Muslim books to be recognized as extremist, including the book of mufti. He expressed the hope that the statement of the Gay inter-district prosecutor Orenburg region will be withdrawn.
The appeal notes that cases of inclusion in list of extremist materials and Muslim religious literature in have recently become more frequent: “To our common regret, in a number of cases this occurs as a result of incorrect translations of publications into Russian. However, quite often the reason is not always objective, justified, comprehensive and complete expert opinions”. Sources
