| Chechnya to define measures against Wahhabism |
| 2005-04-05 |
 Chechen officials and the public want to declare Wahhabism "the main ideology of the terrorists" in the North Caucasus and outlaw political and religious extremism in Chechnya, said delegates at a Monday conference in Grozny. Participants in the conference decided to set up an Islamic center "in ideological opposition to religious extremism, which will incorporate educational and cultural facilities." The conference called on the Chechen president to issue an ordinance "which will be considered by the future parliament as a Chechen law banning political and religious extremism." |
