If the Friday sermons of imams in the West were monitored, there would be prosecutions like this all over Europe and North America. But it seems as if only Russia has the courage to go after imams now, no matter how much violence they incite and treason they preach. “Defense insisted that Velitov had performed a religious ritual allowed by canons of Islam regarding a deceased Muslim.” Yes, I am sure that what Velitov said was completely Islamic.

“Russian imam appeals sentence for justifying terrorism,” Rapsi, May 5, 2017:

MOSCOW, May 5 (RAPSI, Yevgeniya Sokolova) – Imam Makhmud Velitov has filed an appeal against a 3-year prison sentence passed on him for justifying terrorism, his attorney Dagir Khasavov told RAPSI on Friday.

On April 28, the Moscow District Military Court convicted and sentenced Velitov.

A prosecutor earlier demanded a 3.5-year prison term for the imam.

On September 23, 2013, Velitov, being a council chair and imam of a religious organization, made a public speech justifying activity of one of Hizb ut-Tahrir al-Islami terrorist organization’s members during a prayer in a Moscow mosque, according to the Investigative Committee. This organization has been banned by Russia’s Supreme Court.

According to the forensic examination, the imam’s speech contained a set of psychological and linguistic features of justifying terrorist activities. Defense insisted that Velitov had performed a religious ritual allowed by canons of Islam regarding a deceased Muslim.

Hizb ut-Tahrir (the Party of Islamic Liberation), founded in Jerusalem in 1953, is banned in several Arab and Central Asian countries. Russia’s Supreme Court banned the group from operating on the territory of the country in 2003, describing it as a terrorist organization….

An ayatrollah echoed these thoughts when he compare the unbeliever in islum to excrement (i.e. as being haram).

Agree. 3 years jail is a joke. They should be given death as mastermind who instigated the jihadi attacks .

Muslims justify terrorism in this country too, and everyone turns a blind eye. Our schools are inundated with Islamic studies thanks to Obama and Common Core.

3 years in a Russian jail is not a pleasant experience 🙂

The Russian Federation has some 28 million muslims within its 6.5 million square mile subcontinent. It is a formidable task to exercise a hard-line stance against the perpetrators of jihad.

“Yes, I am sure that what Velitov said was completely Islamic”.

That is a money quote. Yes. Islam wants to overthrow ANY non-Islamic government.

Russia shows far more wisdom in dealing with Islam than the West.
Only Japan and China do a better job of keeping Muslim violence down.

Take a look at that face? Yup, it’s like a festered fig or can full of worms. Hopefully someone will bump him off in prison. Toronto Muslim journalist, Tarek Fatah, recently told a Senate committee in Ottawa that every Friday in every mosque across Canada, imams pray for the defeat of the infidels by Muslims. Now if anyone spoke that way about defeating Muslims, they’d find themselves in front of one of Canada trash inquisitions called Human Rights Commissions. My disgust knows no bounds.
