World Bulletin / News Desk
Russia has banned the publication of a book that details the life of the first Caliph, Abu Bakr (pbuh).
In a statement by the prosecutors office in the district of Kurgan, the book, written by Ali Muhammed al-Salaybi, “Abu Bakr Siddique, the First Caliph” was labelled as a radical text and hence banned. The court decision referred to language experts who allege that, “The book contains references to hatred and hostility against non-Muslims and shifts Muslims away from the principle of unity”.
However, according to experts at the SOVA Center for Information and Analysis, the banning of the book was illegal. In a statement, they said that, “To ban a book that explains Muslims their own history is illegal. These books explain battles that have taken place in history. Many battles have taken place in Islamic history and other religions and these are etched in peoples minds”.
According to SOVA, no language expert has the skill to review a book and that a court decision should be based on concrete evidence.[/quote]

[quote]Russian court bans Qur'an translation
Edition of the holy book joins 2,000 publications banned over the last decade, as city of Novorossiysk blacklists an "extremist" Russian version. It isn't unusual to see extremism laws used against minority groups, but how far will Russia go?
While Geert Wilders and assorted online provocateurs may like to talk about banning the Qur'an as an extremist text, few take the idea seriously. Except in Russia, perhaps, where on 20 September, a court in the Russian city of Novorossiysk banned a translation of the holy book of the world's 1.2 billion Muslims.

Russian Muslims want to be formed a comission agains the ban on the Islamic books including some Hadith works
World Bulletin/News Desk
In Russia, the efforts aimed at to mainly solve the problems on the Islamic publishings and stop the illegal ban on Islamic books got started.
They decided to do this because of the explanation about the Hadith book, Sahih Al-Bukhari, said opinian leaders in Russia, speaking to Ansar.Ru News Agency.
It's nonsensical to ban the books of hadith, Sahih Al-Bukhari, which has particular important for the Muslims, Russia Ulyanovsk Region's Mufti Muhammed Baibikov commented.
Volgograd Region Muslims Leader Abdullah Haci Bat and some other scholars support the plan of forming a commision with Islamic scholars, aimed at to evaluating whether a book includes some “radical connotations” or not.
Stavrapol Muslims Leader Muhammed Rahimov, too, protested the ban on Islamic books. “I find it nonsensical that a district court, like Orenburg court, had reached a verdict in favour of the ban on the Islamic books and made it a binding-overall-rule across Russia.” said Rahimov.[/quote]

[quote]Russia Bans Islamic Books Deemed Dangerous To Society
Russia has banned Islamic books deemed too dangerous for society. The literature includes Fortress of the Muslim, which consists of “supplications” of the Prophet Muhammad collected by ancient Muslim scholar Saeed bin Ali bin Wahf Al-Qahtani, and a certain biography of Muhammad has also been banned.
“A number of popular Islamic books, including books used in religious schools, that were deemed legal under Ukrainian law, are now banned according to Russian law. In this context, Russian authorities continue targeting Muslims in Crimea, where madrassas (Islamic religious schools) and the homes of common Crimean Tatars are being searched for the banned literature.
Three madrasas were searched during August 13 [2014], ahead of Russia’s Federal List of Extremist Materials law that will come into force in 2015 that bans a number of popular Islamic books.
