Religious Administration of muslims of Crimea called upon politicians and public figures to stop the price gouging over erecting the Cathedral Mosque (Juma-Jami) in Simferopol. This matter is within the competence of RAMC.
According to the Deputy Mufty Mr.Ayder Ismailov, Crimean Muslims determined the place for the mosque once and for all, and 180.000 stones donated by the parishioners for erecting mosque exactly on 22 Yaltins’ka Str. speak for themselves.
“This matter was settled with Crimean Authorities and if now off the agenda. As for the building process, this is the matter within competence of the RAMC, so everyone must mind their own business. And in case you have no constructive proposal, it’s wrong to speculate over this matter just to keep yourself in the information torrent, it flatters no man,” — commented Mr.Ismailov, referring to statement of Mr.Seytumer Nimetullaev (head of social organisation “Qırım Birligi”) on the necessity of building the Cathedral Mosque near the airport.
According to Deputy Mufti, such statements bring confusion to the life of Crimean Tatar community and impair the stability of the society.
“We call upon every politician to act for the good of the people of Crimea. If he is a Muslim and a Crimean tatar, or positions himself as such, he must, besides everything else, think abou the interests of Muslims, of Crimean Tatars. We have to be a factor of stability, it’s necessary for all the people living in Crimea, and such statements bring confusion to the life of Crimean Tatar community and impair the stability of the society. I think that people who speak such words must feel their responsibility for social unrest caused by them, this is by no means an affirmative approach,” — Ayder Ismailov said.
“It seems that the politician who has spent many years working beyond Crimea doesn’t know the situation, as only 28.000 Muslims live near the Airport and erecting a mosque with the capacity to accommodate 30 to 40 thousand Muslims is unpractical.”
It was reported earlier that Mr.Seytumer Nimetullaev, head of social organisation “Qırım Birligi”, told the Media that grounds in Simferopol aren’t suitable for erecting such a large religious building, the RISU reports linking to QHA.
