A resident of the Irkutsk region was warned for possessing a banned book.

Employees of the "E" center found in the house of a resident of the Irkutsk region the book "The True Religion of Allah", which is included in the Federal List of Extremist Materials.

On June 28, 2016, the prosecutor’s office of the Irkutsk district of the Irkutsk region announced that it had issued a warning to 40-year-old local resident D. about the inadmissibility of breaking the law after A. A. V. Philips’ book “The True Religion of Allah” was found in her home. This publication in 2014 was recognized as extremist by the Nogai District Court of Dagestan.

D. received the book in June 2015 at the Irkutsk Cathedral Mosque and has kept it at her home ever since. The banned publication was discovered by employees of the Center for Combating Extremism of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Irkutsk Region. " Materials regarding the person who distributed the banned printed publication were sent to the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Irkutsk Region for his identification and further verification ," the prosecutor's office said.

We believe that Phillips' brochure "The True Religion of Allah" has been wrongly labeled as extremist. This is a small work that affirms the truth of Islam as a faith, but does not contain any aggressive attacks against adherents of other religions.
