| 2009-08-29 |
| [Al Arabiya Latest] Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Friday urged Russia's top Muslim clerics to join forces to stop radical Islamist groups wooing young people in the turbulent North Caucasus. He proposed a Muslim television channel and controls on access to Islamic education abroad as ways of tackling Islamist insurgency in the region. "Unfortunately, criminal gangs still manage to recruit young people for their activities," Medvedev told clerics and regional leaders at his summer residence in the Black Sea resort of Sochi. "It would be right to work out a program of working with the young in the North Caucasus," he added. |
