"Muslims have set up their first terrorism fighting organization. In addition to speaking, and whatever is needed has been said, we must act against terrorism," Ismail-Khazrat Shangareyev, a cochairman of the Councils of Russia's Mufties and one of the organization's founders, told Interfax on Tuesday.
"The organization's membership includes all sympathizers with the idea as well as Muslims. All of us want to stop the ongoing undeclared war," he said.
"Young people who do not work and whose morality is not steady are likely to embrace extremism. We will preach goodness, help is tackling their problems, find them employment and housing," Shangareyev said.
The organization's declaration at a news conference emphasized that "the organization will aid in every way consolidation of a multi-ethnic Russian state and not allow any foreign or domestic groups capitalize on ethnic or religious enmity."
