Russian President Vladimir Putin has Chechen jihadis in Ukraine fighting for Russia, so he has good reason to say this, but it was still startling. On Tuesday, Putin declared that anyone who has been found guilty of burning a Qur’an would be sent to prison in one of Russia’s majority-Muslim regions. This would be tantamount to sentencing the Qur’an burners to death. Apparently, if you burn a Qur’an, Vladmir Putin wants you dead.
There is more. Read the rest here.

So now Russia becomes sharia compliant to
Emilie Green says
This makes little sense. Has Putin forgotten the Moscow theater killings (2002),
or the Beslan school murders by Muslims (2004),

jdow says
It would not he the first time ever that those fighting Muhammadanism became so exhausted they gave up and became that which they fought.
{o.o}
gravenimage says
Russia has no reason to have become exhausted–and now they are not just ignoring Jihad but actively imposing Shari’ah norms themselves.
James Lincoln says
So what happens if Putin accidentally drops the koran in a puddle of water?
Is it okay because he didn’t burn it?
somehistory says
James,
What if someone, say, a biden, started a rumor about a burning at the Kremlin and the *subject* was torched by a very, very important Russian; description: bald head, likes to go shirtless, and ride horses?
The burning took place in the bedroom as the important Russian, male, was attempting to read arabic words, became frustrated, and dropped his lit cigar.
bidin has been known to lie and make up stuff.
somehistory says
Correction; balding head. and a funny, strutting, walk.

I think the reason Russia is pandering to its muslims in this manner is so that it can continue to send them to the Ukrainian front, while they pretend it’s a jihad. It’s notable that ethnic Russians are more resistant to going there, so it makes sense to send as many thugs from Chechnya, Tatarstan and other places there. I’d be perfectly fine w/ the Azov Regiment taking them out
Hopefully, there is a backlash against Putin for this pandering, once muslims start spreading their activities beyond Tatarstan and Chechnya, and especially into Moscow, which is where something has to happen for the Kremlin to notice it
gravenimage says
That’s part of it, Infidel–but Russia’s pandering to Muslims much predates the invasion of Ukraine.

i would refrase…. if you burn the quran IN RUSSIA putin will have you dead…
again do they burn churches in russia???? do they dececrate monuments rape kill torture and beat people in russia as muslims??? apart from the chechens fighting for the russian federation, the chechens have also brought a climate where the rest of the muslims respect the russian society and religion or else…. putin has good relations with both iran and turkey and as time goes by with more and more islamic countries that are much too scared to order the massacres and desecrations that take place in europe….
if otherwise, do you think putin would criminalise the burning of the quran at such level or would he burn one himself….
the islamic invasion at the moment is taking place in europe not in russia… in russia also they have enough native people remaining to turn things around for islam within russia very easy if necesary…. and considering they will always have a conservative government…
so i am not in russia i dont care what putin sais…putin speaks about russia… here is islamic invasion this is the reactions…. in russia their only problem is demographic and nothing more….
Pray Hard says
Cute. Have you ever heard of Beslan?

Well, Putin seems to have forgotten, even though it happened under his leadership

First, you have to buy the POS. Then you can burn it. I’m not buying any Koran.
somehistory says
I will never either. Not buy, not read it, not touch it. book of evil, demonic filth.
gravenimage says
I’ve got five Qur’ans, including Robert Spencer’s edition. But only in the name of “knowing your enemy”. It is a an ugly, boring, and vicious book, and I have gotten no pleasure from reading it.

angelo barbato says
I wouldn’t accept a free koran if a $100 were attached it .
Shalom says
Surely if he wants to oppose the West wouldn’t he say it’s OK if someone wants to burn the Koran?
gravenimage says
The West still has freedom of speech–at least to some extent. Putin doesn’t support this at all.
Shalom says
?? I’m still struggling with this.
FYI says
“allah knoweth,ye knoweth not”
koran 3:67
In the next line allah says ‘Abraham was not a Jew”.Seriously.
In koran 2:87 allah insists “WE gave unto Moses the scripture” then how did he MISS the entire Law of Moses which is in the Torah{in particular those TWO chief commandments] and the Exodus 20 laws?
Oh i see allah is PRETENDING to be the source behind the Torah and he is impersonating the Biblical God.allah does not even know there is a meaning and purpose to the Torah.Jesus did and so Jesus knowns more than allah the impersonator.
In koran 5:116 allah mistakenly thinks MARY is one of 3 gods the christians worship which is 1]absolutley hilarious and 2]reveals allah’s amazing LACK OF OMNISCIENCE.along with the well known scientific and logical errors{including Astronomy and human Biology} in allah’s prefect book,the now holey koran.
“we infidels knoweth,allah knoweth not”
FYI says
If you could use the Turing test..but the person in the other room {‘allah’} is claiming to know all things but his answers are all seriously wrong…questions like..{answers in brackets}
Where do babies come from?{the backbone}
Was the moon split in two?{yes}
What is the 1]purpose and 2]meaning behind the Torah?{?..?}
What do christians believe?{ in 3 gods allah,Jesus and MARY}
etc
You would know from the answers being seriously wrong that the person is not omniscient {as he claims to be} and his misunderstandings of science etc can only come from an ignorance of science or…from an earlier time possibly where such things were not understood{like say..the 7th/8th century}
If muslims read the koran CRITICALLY and ignore the ‘scholars’ of islam interpreting it for them, then they run the risk of becoming murtads{apostates} but that is the price they are made to pay for thinking for themselves.
Pray Hard says
For a number of years, I thought Putin was sane. He isn’t. He will rue the day he got involved with moslems.
Kepha says
Same here. I will still allow that Putin is a patriot–something that The O, Shrillary, and Zhou Baideng are not. But patriotism is too often the last refuge of the scoundrel.
