"Moderate" Islamic Clerics Gunned Down in Russia

Of course we know that 'Moderate' islam is a farce, and yet those who try to assert that you can be muslim and get along with the world are almost always killed by other muslims who follow the law of the cursed koran.

Islam is doomed as long as it's followers kill each other for their beliefs. There is no way that islam can co-exist in the world like Judaism has co-existed for 2000 years. Personally I couldn't care less if all muslims cut their own heads off in order to get their 72 monkey virgins. But this story should convince the world that anyone who suggests that islam can be 'moderate' is a target of those who actually keep the religion.

Top Muslim cleric Yakupov gunned down in Russia
Published July 19, 2012

MOSCOW –  A top Muslim cleric in Russia's Tatarstan province was shot dead and another was wounded by a car bomb in two attacks that local leaders said were related to the priests' criticism of radical Islamists, investigators said Thursday.

Valiulla Yakupov, the deputy to the Muslim province's chief mufti, was gunned down Thursday as he left his house in Tatarstan's regional capital of Kazan, Russia's Investigative Committee said. Minutes later, chief mufti Ildus Faizov was wounded in the leg after an explosive device ripped through his car in central Kazan, it said.

Both clerics were known as critics of radical Islamist groups that advocate a strict and puritan version of Islam known as Salafism. Investigative Committee spokesman Vladimir Markin told Russian news agencies that his agency was looking into the clerics' professional activity as a possible reason for the attacks.

The 49-year-old Faizov became Tatarstan's chief mufti in 2011 and began a crackdown on radical Islamists by dismissing ultraconservative preachers and banning textbooks from Saudi Arabia, where the government-approved religious doctrine is based on Salafism.

He has also been criticized by media in Tatarstan for allegedly profiting on tours he organized for Muslim pilgrims and for trying to gain control of one of the oldest and largest mosques in Kazan that receives hefty donations from thousands of believers.

It needs to happen sooner already for islam. At this point, I'm avoiding visits to the Mid east region for a long time.
