Greetings to Russian Muslims

October 4, 2014

Vladimir Putin congratulated Russian Muslims on one of their most revered holidays Eid al-Adha, which marks the completion of the pilgrimage to Muslim holy sites.

The message of greeting reads, in part:

“For centuries this holiday, filled with warmth and light, has been bringing people together, helping to instil the ideals of kindness, charity and respect for religious beliefs and traditions.

It is gratifying to see that the Russian Muslim community is actively involved in the country’s public life, expanding its charitable and educational activity, reinforcing family values and making a significant contribution to maintaining inter-faith and inter-ethnic accord.”
