Russian President Vladimir Putin quoted the Koran during Wednesday’s official opening of the Moscow Cathedral Mosque, informed the Russkaya Sluzhba Novostei (Russian News Service).
“I’m confident that the Cathedral Mosque will help unite the efforts of not solely the Muslims, but also the adherents of other faiths, in the name of good deeds,” Putin stated. “The Koran says: ‘Endeavor to outdo each other in good deeds.’”
The Moscow Cathedral Mosque, which is Europe’s largest Muslim place of worship, has reopened in the Russian capital city after a ten-year restoration.
