Frame from Vesti Channel Archive Russian Police Says Islamist Extremism Spreading Among Schoolchildren
10.03.2006
MosNews Local police in the Russian Caucasus republic of Kabardino-Balkaria have been alarmed by spreading of radical trends of Islam among the schoolboys, RIA Novosti reported on Friday.
“We have analyzed Nalchick (the republic’s capital) schools and found out that in some of them senior pupils impose ideas of Wahhabism on their younger fellows,” Arsen Tishkov, the head of the local police directorate for fighting religious extremism, told the agency.
Wahhabism is a Sunni fundamentalist Islamic movement, which members reject all acts implying polytheism, including the veneration of saints, and advocate a return to the original teachings of Islam as found in the Qu’ran and the Hadith. They supported the establishment of a Muslim state based on Islamic canon law. In Russia the term is often wrongly referred to <NOBR>Chechen</NOBR> rebels and their supporters.
Tishkov said that older pupils make the young download mobile phone screensavers, pictures and movies picturing terror acts performed by guerillas in Chechnya. “There are even facts proving that certain teachers do the same,” the policeman stressed. http://www.mosnews.com/commentary/2006/03/10/wahhabischool.shtml
