An article condemning Muslim rallies in Moscow and Grozny was removed from the RIA Novosti website

At about 3:00 pm Moscow time, the website of the state agency RIA Novosti published Dmitry Kosyrev's article "Muslim non-brothers: for whom did the activists in fact rally in Moscow." The organizers of the rallies in Moscow and, as it was neatly said, “in other cities”, although there were no more rallies anywhere except Grozny, were compared with the militants of the ISIS* group banned on the territory of the Russian Federation.

“No, it’s not a curiosity when an unauthorized demonstration of Muslims takes place in the center of Moscow (and in other cities) who “protect their brothers in Myanmar,” despite the fact that 99% of the demonstrators could not find this country on the map. Before us is not a trifle, but a serious threat. It boils down to answering the question - what will the ideologists of the "Islamic State" * do, having been defeated in terms of direct military aggression (the seizure of part of the territory of sovereign Iraq and Syria). The answer is they will do it. Conduct subversive activities around the world by relatively legal means, looking for any pretexts for their propaganda, ”the article said.

The text hung on the agency's website for no more than 20 minutes and was removed without any explanation. However, its full version is available on social networks .

* ISIS, "Islamic State" - a group banned on the territory of the Russian Federation as a terrorist group.
