The fifth conference of the strategic vision group “Russia and Islamic World” opened in the Kuwaiti capital on Monday. It has been organised by the Russian Council of Muftis and the Kuwaiti ministry for the affairs of waqufs and Islam.
President Yunus-Bek Yevkurov of Ingushetia addressed the conference and read a message of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, in which he stated that Russia, which has the status of an observer in the Organisation of Islamic Conference, “is determined to develop cooperation with the Islamic world.”
Yevkurov stressed that Russia had never identified Islam, which is a religion of peace, justice and tolerance, with extremism and terrorism. “Unfortunately, acts of terrorism continue to be staged in Ingushetia. I know it from my own experience. We should pay more attention to the younger generation, so that young people would not get under the influence of the forces, which engage in destructive work under the guise of Islam,” he said.
