According to the press service of the FSB, their task was " secret propaganda of the ideology of Islamic extremism and the involvement of new members through their psychological processing, and the global goal is to establish world domination through the spread of a radical form of Islam and create a single Islamic state based on regions with a traditionally Muslim population" World Caliphate ".

It is reported that extremist literature and campaign materials were confiscated from them during their detention. in Bashkortostan . was defeated In August , another cell of Tablighi Jamaat
The religious association "Tablighi Jamaat" was banned in Russia in 2009, and we regard this ban as illegal. The movement is engaged in the propaganda of Islam and has not been seen in any calls for violence, so we consider the persecution of its supporters to be unjustified.
