04 October 2007 15:28 (UTC +04:00)

Azerbaijan newspaper in the research article on real threats for Islam seriously criticized silent approach of the Caucasus Muslims Office and State Committee for Religious Affairs on the spread of Wahhabism. The article underlines that Wahhabism poses serious threat for Islam and state.
â€œIt seems as if wahhabists signed a deal with the so-called Islam sufferers for free activity. Caucasus Muslims Office is still a passive observer, in stead of fighting against Wahhabism along with religious men. I wonder why thousands of Muslims, who held protest actions six years ago from Dagestan to Lankaran and from Gadabay to Baku when an anecdote was published about Sheikh, do not protest to the insult towards Islam. Indifference of the State Committee for Religious Affairs is regrettable. The committee has neither an action plan nor intention to prevent influence of harmful trends on the youth. If the State Committee for Religious Affairs and Caucasus Muslims Office had led the fight against Wahhabism which poses threat for Azerbaijan and Islam, there would not be such problems,â€ he article says.
