روسيا: منع بناء المساجد يحول بين المسلمين والانخراط في المجتمع

خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

أكد فضيلة الشيخ "رافيل جانيوتودين" - رئيس مجلس مفتي "روسيا" - أن منع السلطات الروسية بناء المساجد يدفع المسلمين بعيدًا عن الانخراط في المجتمع، مؤكدًا أن الجمعيات الإسلامية تتحمل القدر الأكبر من توفيق أوضاع المسلمين دون قيام الحكومة بواجباتها.

وأشار إلى أن المسلمين المهاجرين إلى "روسيا" يواجهون الكثير من المشكلات من بينها البحث عن المسجد، والتي تعتبر المكان الأول الذي يقصده المسلمون ويأوون إليه، وأكد أن المناطق التي تُبنى بها المساجد لا تتضمن كثافة عددية إسلامية مثل التي تفتقد لبناء المساجد، وأكد أن هذه السياسة تؤدي إلى فرض عزلة على المسلمين، وتقلل من فُرَص تواصُلهم مع المجتمع المحلي؛ المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

New mosques adapt migrants

According to the Chairman of the Council of Muftis of Russia, Ravil Gainutdin, the reluctance of the Russian authorities to build new mosques prevents Muslim migrants integrating into society and promotes the growth of religious extremism.

Sheikh Ravil Gainutdin, chairman of the Council of Muftis of Russia, thinks that “most of the load in the adaptation, integration and socialization in Russia is taken by Muslim organizations, religious communities of Muslims. A Muslim who arrives in a Russian city, cut off from his way of life, from his familiar environment, facing a lot of problems, often feels shock in the new position for him, in the new conditions in a foreign country. And he begins to look for a familiar environment, goes to a mosque, just as a migrant-Orthodox goes to a church, Jews – to a synagogue, and so on. But as you know, mosques in major Russian cities, being the main places for circulation and welcome of migrants, are sorely lacking, even for locals, not to mention foreign workers. Most of our mosques are built for cities much smaller than now and with a smaller share of Muslims among the residents.”

Therefore, Gainutdin believes, “Muslim migrants organize their own alternative religious infrastructure, insulated from local Muslims, and make the process of their integration impossible in principle. Thus, preventing the construction of new mosques in the right way leads to the isolation of migrants and minimization of their contact with the local population.”

Mufti urged not to find examples of successful integration of migrants somewhere abroad, but to turn to great examples in the history of our own country: “For example, in previous centuries in Western Siberia, in Tobolsk and Tomsk provinces, there were numerous settlements of immigrants from Bukhara and Khiva, which formed the interesting group of the Siberian Bukhara. Retaining their original identity, they were able to perfectly integrate into Siberia, to merge with the local Tatar population so that Emperor Nicholas II, passing through Siberia, specifically entered their villages and saw them adapted and living with the locals… And this is held by the autochthonous Muslim communities. Since the latter were, in turn, integrated into Russian society.”
