Well, he certainly has a point about the antichrist bit, but the idea that killing Ukrainians will somehow contribute to the solution of the problem is wildly out of focus.
“Chair of Russian Mufti Council: Exterminate Ukrainians, the West Serves the Antichrist,” by Massimo Introvigne, Bitter Winter, July 21, 2022:
“Nazi” Ukrainians should be killed “like parasites with pesticides,” Mufti Talgat Tadzhuddin said
“No fascists or parasites should be allowed to exist next to us, because we may run short of pesticides,” said Mufti Talgat Tadzhuddin, the chairman of the Central Spiritual Board of Muslims of Russia speaking in Ufa, the capital of the Russian Republic of Bashkiria….
“We are proud of our vast Motherland and a worthy national leader, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin,” the Mufti said. He introduced the audience to Imam Khamza, who will soon go to Ukraine along with volunteers from Bashkiria.
The Mufti explained that the Western nations are “minions of the Antichrist and the Dajjal” (the Islamic equivalent of the Antichrist) as proved by their “arrogance, extremism and terrorism.”
As for the Ukrainians, they are carriers of the “brown plague,” Nazism, and should be stopped before they spread it to Russia….
Speaking of the Gay Pride parades, Tadzhuddin said that, “representatives of sexual minorities can do whatever they want, only at home or somewhere in a secluded place in the dark. If they still go out into the street, then they should only be flogged. All normal people would do it.” According to him, “gay people have no rights… To be gay is a crime against God. The Prophet Muhammad ordered the killing of homosexuals.”

“the Antichrist) as proved by their “arrogance, extremism and terrorism.””
This is what mozlums are, do, believe….he should look in his mirror if he can find one that won’t break from the horror of his visage.
and that other *mufti* made bosom buds with hitler and his nazis.
And putin says, “ill pretend that flattery will get you everything you want, while knowing the opposite is true if you cross me, fella.”
Infidel says
You beat me to it. Muslims talking about others being parasites – even the Nazis weren’t greater parasites than muslims are all over the world
On Putin, I’m not convinced that he’s using them: he’s become so isolated that he’s forced to have conferences w/ Iran and Turkey
somehistory says
I just meant that people such as putin, and the mufit, can’t really trust each other….both carry sharp knives.
There are rumors that putin is very ill.
Fitna says
Correction, I meant as Hitler did with the Jews.
gravenimage says
True, Somehistory.

Sadly, Putin was enabling Islam even before he invaded Ukraine, building mega Mosques in Moscow, allowing Shari’ah law on Russian soil in Chechnya, and schmoozing with Islamic scholars condemning the West.
mortimer says
To GI: it’s more like appeasement of Russia’s 16 million Muslims. With their leaders cooperating, Putin has a way to control them. Muslims are afraid of the power of a fatwa from the mufti.
Nevertheless, Mufti Talgat Tadzhuddin is mistaken. The real ‘Nazi’ is in the Kremlin.
mortimer says
GI said, “Putin was enabling Islam…”
Well, history repeats itself. Adolf Hitler approved of Islam because Muslims shared his goals of supremacism and Jewish holocaust.
Putin found the same alliance. So, will the real ‘Nazi’ please stand up, Mr. Putin?
Western Leftists prove that they are the ‘New Nazis’ by their authoritarian ways and choice of Islam as their closest ideological ally.
Fitna says
Good exchange all, I’m worried that Putin will take the Mufti’s word to heart and start exterminating the Ukrainians, like Hitler did with the Nazis. No doubt the Jordanian mufti was behind that incitement during WW2.
Given how weak the US is today under Biden/Dems, I can easily see China trying to gobble up the territories it was after.
Also given the problem of restive Muslims in Europe, rising inflation, threat of Recession next year, I wouldn’t be surprised if we eventually find ourselves in WW3.
China’s PM is very belligerent and has been openly making threats, also with NATO backing Ukraine with weapons, who knows how far Putin can be pushed till he decides to use nukes, they warned about it earlier in their invasion of Ukraine.
In a way war could be good for ridding the world of large groups of fascists, but if nukes are involved, then things could get really ugly. Let’s also not forget about Iran and Pakistan as well. Looks like we’re headed for a global crisis.
Fitna says
Correction, I meant as Hitler did with the Jews.
gravenimage says
Agreed, Mortimer.
Infidel says
On a different note, why does a mufti care about whether certain countries/people belong to the ‘Antichrist’? Since it’s well known that the Biblical Christ and the “Isa” of the sunnah are not the same person
somehistory says
I believe it is somewhat like mozlums pretending to care about Black people. this is a pretense of caring about Christian concerns. and since mozlums want their 13th to come and they have to wage war everywhere to make that happen, he should be in a state of glee.

It was important to Muslims to try and co-opt Jesus.
mortimer says
To GI: Mohammed was cast as the messiah and Jesus was delegated to less important than Mohammed. Muslims are unable to explain why Jesus is called ‘Christ’ (Arabic ‘messia’) in the Koran. The Koran doesn’t explain what a messiah is. Mohammed is the NOOR (light of the world) … Muslims have made him semi-divine, and the first of Allah’s creations. The universe was made for Mohammed. Islam claims Allah has no partner, but clearly Allah and Mohammed are a committee of two. It looks like a duck and quacks like a duck.
gravenimage says
True, Mortimer. I didn’t say that the Islamic co-option of Jesus was subtle or in any way plausibly consistent–just that Islam could not just ignore such a figure, even in Arabia.
Wellington says
Just proving again how awful and stupid Putin is.
Russia never learns—under Czars, First Secretaries, under Yeltsin the drunk or under Putin, the ex-KGB agent.
There is something terribly wrong with Russia and ones knows this or should know it. Dispatches from 18th and 19th century European diplomats stationed in Russia testify to this, so does what George Kennan stated about Russia, to wit, Russia looks upon its neighbors as vassals or enemies, and now Putin aligning with thug regimes like those of Syria, Iran, North Korea and China only confirms this all the more, never mind his barbaric and highly non-productive invasion of Ukraine this year.
Russia never learns. Never. And its value on human life is far different from that of the best of the Western tradition, as stalwart people like Eisenhower and Pope John Paul Ii, among so many others, yet another being Winston Churchill, have noted time and time again. Read John Toland’s “The Last Hundred Days” for further confirmation of this “assessment.”
Frankly, I’m sick of Russia. It indeed never learns. It’s a burden to mankind and to itself .
gravenimage says
All sadly true, Wellington. I wish this were not so.
mortimer says
Responding to Wellington: Russia allowed the KGB to take over the government, rather than have the government control the secret police. A governmental system needs checks and balance to prevent such a takeover by the executive branch.
Putin believes in ‘Holy Mother Russia’. He is a religious fanatic who believes Russia is on a divine mission to rule the world. This delusion has brought misery, starvation, war and mass murder to most of Asia under communism. Now, this current eruption of this delusion will only end when Putin is forcibly removed from office.
Putin’s puffy face suggests he is on steroid medication for some chronic illness. As his illness and age increase, the wolves will move in on him.
Crimea has been the downfall of a number of Russia’s leaders.
gravenimage says
Mortimer, I’m not actually sure how religious Putin is–he may just consider the Russian Orthodox Church another useful tool.
I think we came closest to the truth when he compared himself to Peter the Great. He wants to be remembered as the Russian leaders who returned Russia to greatness by recapturing–or at least starting the recapture–of all the land it has once seized.

Russian Mufti: Western nations are ‘minions of the Antichrist,’ ‘Muhammad ordered the killing of homosexuals’
………………………….
I have long pointed out that Russia has long been playing footsie with Jihadists, as here. Note his rhetoric about liquidating Ukrainians. Then he claims that “all normal people” abuse homosexuals. Chilling stuff.
Mufti Talgat Tadzhuddin has also issued a Fatwa telling Muslims to kill Infidels for Putin:
“Chief Mufti Of Russia Talgat Tadzhuddin: A Fatwa Has Been Issued Obligating Muslims To Fight Alongside Russia In Ukraine; This Is A Holy Jihad, Those Who Die Fighting Are Martyrs”
https://www.memri.org/reports/chief-mufti-russia-talgat-tadzhuddin-fatwa-has-been-issued-obligating-muslims-fight
He has characterized this as a Jihad. He also calls it “defense of the homeland”, even though it was Russia that invaded Ukraine. Muslims engage in this kind of projection all the time.
Wellington says
And it demonstrates, gravenimage, how Putin is being used by the Islamic world.
Yes, Putin as a stooge for Islam should be a perspective strongly to be considered.
gravenimage says
I’m afraid so. Poster “christianblood”–since banned–always claimed that Putin’s enabling of Islam, including winking at Jihad terror, was in reality some sort of brilliant strategy that would defeat Islam in the long run. Not buying it, and even apologists for Russia are generally backing off this ridiculous claim these days.
mortimer says
Politely disagree. The Mufti Talgat Tadzhuddin is the STOOGE for Putin.
Wellington says
This particular mufti, mortimer, might be a stooge for Putin but Putin is carrying water for the Islamic world as a whole and this has stooge-like aspects.
gravenimage says
Mortimer and Wellington, you both make good points. I think they are using each other. Time will tell which faction has the upper hand.
Given the increasing Islamization of Russia, I’m not sure it won’t be Islam in the long run.
Boy, would I like to be wrong here.
Andrew Blackadder says
Methinks a man like Putin has learned the ancient ways of ..
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer…
Putin has studied Martial Arts and so must have learned this.
Politics makes strange bedfellows.
Baby Bush loved the muslims as he called them a religion of piss… oops I meant peace…
And his Daddy was great friends with Saddam and the Saudi Family.. Now thats just Politics….
Putin is a lot smarter than the bozo siting in the Oval office today..
gravenimage says
Andrew, after Putin has bolloxed things up in Ukraine–and not just for the Ukrainians–I think a lot of his image as a shrewd gamesman may have been considerably overestimated.
James Hoagland says
The claimed writings of Islam began at the dawn of the age of the Divine Right of Kings. Their distorted perception make claims that belong to Jesus of Nazareth. They have no other corresponding writings to verify any of their claims. Using just basic rules of elementary logic they have no other sources of verification except from their own groups in different locations and at varying times. If any groups represent the anti-Christ it would be them or communists. In form they may appear to be different but in content they have much in common. Which is why they have been referred to as “The Unholy Alliance”.
Hank says
I think the Mufti is just practicing Taqiya on Putin. His smiling and thinking to himself “Keep killing each other you Orthodox infidels. I hope your Russian Federation falls apart. Thank you Putin”
gravenimage says
I think this is a large part of it, Hank. Chechnya leader Ramzan Kadyrov essentially admitted as much. But pious Muslims also tend to admire brutality in general. I would not be surprised if the Mufti actually does respect Putin, as much as he can any Infidel.
