The Destruction of Islamic Books by Judge Order Russia's North Caucasus republic of Dagestan
A Judge in Russia's North Caucasus republic of Dagestan has ordered up to 70 copies of translations of 15 different Islamic books, by the late Turkish Muslim theologian Said Nursi, to be destroyed.
She refused to tell Forum 18 News Service why she ordered their destruction and refused to order other Islamic books seized from local Muslim Ziyavdin Dapayev to be returned.
This is blasphemy, Dapayev's lawyer Murtazali Barkayev told Forum 18. I've never encountered the practice of destroying religious literature in Russia before.
Four more works by Nursi were in March banned and placed on the Federal List of Extremist Materials. Courts in several places in Russia are also seeking to ban more Jehovah's Witness publications.
