JAKARTA - Gerindra Party politician Fadli Zon also commented on Russia which is about to commemorate 1,100 years of the arrival of Islam to the country. The plan is to commemorate the launch of 14 books on theology in 2022.

The former leader of the DPR RI said that Russia had shown a high tolerance attitude. "Russia shows a high tolerance for even building the largest mosque," Fadli said via a tweet on his personal Twitter, @fadlizon, launched Thursday, January 27.

"Russia is not Islamophobic. How come you want to map mosques here?" said Fadli Zon.

According to ABNA, the 1,100th anniversary of the arrival of Islam in Russia will be held in 2022.

The Council for Religious Affairs in Russia will launch 14 books on Islamic theology, history and culture as part of a ceremony to mark the 1,100th anniversary of the Islamic religion professed by Russians.

The monograph (scientific paper) by Demir Muhyiddin, first deputy on the Council for Religious Affairs in Russia, entitled Islam Russia: Searching for Political Subjectivism has been well received by everyone.

The main theme of this book is how a Russian Muslim describes himself as a citizen or emphasizes his ethnic identity. The author gives the reader the right idea about the awareness of Russian Muslims about their identity.

The Russian religious figure recounted the relationship between Russian Islam as a socio-cultural phenomenon and its stance on the culture that dominates Russia proving that this phenomenon depends on the ability of Russian Muslims to redefine cultural law and it requires spiritual and ideological promotion in Russia.
