FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda 
A Russian lawmaker proposes a ban on expressions such as ‘Islamic terrorist’ and ‘Islamist militant’ in the mass media, claiming they give people the wrong impression about Islam and put ordinary believers at risk.
Shamsail Saraliyev (United Russia) stepped up with this
initiative at this week’s session of the State Duma Committee for
Information Policy, Izvestia daily reported on Wednesday.
According to the newspaper, other Russian MPs supported the idea.
Saraliyev is from Chechnya and before taking a parliamentary seat
he was the minister of external relations, ethnic policy and
information in the predominantly-Muslim internal Russian
republic. Presently he is a member of the State Duma committee
for Foreign Policy.
The MP said in an interview with Izvestia that lately the mass
media are freely and frequently using expressions like ‘Islamic
terrorists’, ‘Islamists’, ‘Jihadists’, ‘Shahid belt’, ‘Terrorist
Islamic State’ and many others of this kind.
“These expressions push people towards the conclusion that
Muslim religion and terrorism are the same thing. Common people
automatically begin to associate Muslims with bandits, murderers
and terrorists,” Saraliyev said.
At the same time, the majority of Muslims prefer to distance
themselves from radical groups, preferring to call them
‘Kharijites’ – Arabic for ‘dissenters’ or ‘insurgents’, the
lawmaker noted.
One typical example of such people are the supporters of the
Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL), he said.
“They call themselves the Islamic State, but they have
absolutely nothing to do with Islam! For them Islam is just a
cloak with which they cover their evil deeds!”
Saraliyev reiterated the thesis that traditional Islam is a
kindness and creation that promotes peaceful coexistence between
all peoples. The reports about Muslim religion calling for
aggression and extremism is a either a mistake or a baseless lie,
he added.
“Just as we don’t call fascists ‘Christians’, we should stop
using the term Muslims when we describe radical militant groups
who claim to be followers of Islam.”
In 2012, Saraliyev was among the sponsors of the bill that called
for a ban on the mass media mentioning the ethnicity of criminals
or suspects in news reports. Though not yet passed into law, the
bill prompted several media outlets to adopt this rule on a
voluntary basis. Saraliyev called such self-regulation an example
of how the ban on drawing a connection between Islam and
terrorism could work in the future.
There are about 20 million Muslims among Russia’s
140-million-strong population. Islam is considered one of four
‘traditional religions’ in the country, along with Orthodox
Christianity, Judaism and Buddhism.
