| 2008-08-28 |
| The Russian-backed Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov will inaugurate the "largest mosque in Europe" on October 17 in Chechnya, the Russian official news agency Novosty reported. "The largest mosque in Europe... will by inaugurated on the first day of the International Peacemakers' Conference, titled 'Islam - Religion of Peace and Progress,'" the grand mufti of Chechnya, Sultan Mirzayev, told the press. Mirzayev underlined that approximately 50 countries have already approved their participation in the three-day conference. Kadyrov, 31, is the son of Ahmad Kadyrov, an anti-Russian rebel leader who at one point was titled "Chechnya's rebel mufti" [mufti - an Islamic, cleric who issues religious decrees]. In 1999 the Kadyrovs defected to the Russian side. On March 2, 2007 then Russian president Vladimir Putin nominated Kadyrov as Chechen president. |

| #4 "Go Barack!" Good idea. I'm not even picky whether he goes to Indonesia or Kenya - as long as he STAYS THERE. Troll. |

| #2 if these are pro-Russian Chechens, this place will be anti-AQ. So on what basis do you think this will be terror apologist? Unless you mean cause it backs the Putin govt, and he in turn backs HAmas, Hezbo, Iran, etc. But then youd have to include lots of Ortho churches in Russia that support Putin. |
