Russian Islamic researcher concerned for widespread of Wahhabism in Russia

From Interfax (Russia)

Wahhabi ideas are rapidly spreading in Russia to threaten with an armed conflict, Islamic researcher Roman Silantyev believes ... Answering the question of what the state's strategy should be to avoid any further consolidation of Wahhabi positions, Roman Silantyev said it is very difficult to avoid this situation already now. 'The Wahhabis have already won the information war as they control up to 80% of the Islamic mass media in Russia. In any case, if the state does not interfere in this situation and fails to support its real allies in the Islamic society, any interreligious peace can be forgotten', the Islamic researcher said.
