Life under the rhythms Maskvabada
When we speak of Islamization, it is often draw themselves gloomy picture of the future of our country. A future in which the life of the townspeople held in the shadow of the minarets, the future, in which instead of an alarm clock you picks up the call of the muezzin, and the streets of your city every day is filled not welcoming and friendly citizens, and hordes of migrants that stop hiding in their doorways and basement and is now striding for once our city proud gait winner.
But in describing these paintings, we usually presents them only as a fantasy - as a kind of dystopia and terrible future, which can still be avoided. However, in the heart of the capital already there are areas where this nightmare expansion of alien and aggressive culture has long been a reality, transforming the lives of local residents into hell.
In Bolshaya Tatarskaya Street 28 is located in Moscow Historical Mosque. Historically, it is called an ulterior motive at all - in fact it is the oldest mosque in Moscow, built back in 1823. For a long time, this mosque was the center of Zamoskvoretskaya Tatar community, while in 1939 the Soviet government did not close its opening in a former mosque recruitment. His status of religious structures, it again found only in 1993, when she returned to Muslims.
For years after his "second birth" Mosque lived quietly and calmly, and most locals do not even know of its existence until three years ago she declared itself. And he said very loudly, in the truest sense of the word: mosques were established dynamics by which all residents of the region have begun to wake up to the calls of the muezzin morning prayer. And even people wake up in the streets and the other with the windows closed. Five times a day, with since six in the morning, local residents began to hear appeals on the Muslim prayer.
When the disgruntled residents complained about the dynamics of the leadership of the mosque a little muted, making the problem of morning prayer headache is not the entire area, but only the surrounding houses. But as the number of dissatisfied greatly reduced, residents of the region began to feel that the problem was resolved and the troubled neighborhood of the mosque can be forgotten. But, as it turned out, they were wrong.
About two years ago, residents of the area in terror for ourselves faced with the problem of Muslim holidays, the center of which, of course, it became a mosque. In the first year to the needs of Muslims praying in the streets has been completely blocked Bolshaya Tatarskaya Street. The following year with the same purpose, and blocked more lanes, with around the area started to drive the car with speakers that at full power broadcast Muslim prayers. In addition, all the holidays in all stores began to stop the sale of alcohol - in order not to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims the most.
However, this year, residents of nearby houses waiting for a new surprise - on the Eid ul-Fitr directly under the windows of houses mosque administration has established a huge speakers that are included in 7 am, like informing all local residents that the area does not belong to them longer. And on Eid al-Adha local waited for a new surprise from the Muslim clergy - right before the holiday on their cars were attached sheets with the announcement that all the cars on the Grand Tatar street Tolmachёvskom, Clement and Ozerkovskaya lanes will be evacuated, due to which car owners recommended overtake their car somewhere far away. And these ads have been signed is the administration of the mosque, which began slowly to take functions of civil authority, giving locals direct orders.
Locals accessed on these leaflets the police to find out on what grounds it was not only blocked the road to the houses, but the mosque and starts even give orders. However, the police ignored these appeals.
Despite the fact that the speakers of the mosque continued to shout every morning, local municipal authorities refuse even to do something, though tenants have repeatedly collected signatures under the request to remove the speakers from the mosque. In response to the treatment they were offered only to apply directly to the local Muslim clergy. Police also ignores such statements, instead of giving an answer obscure formal reply with the request to handle this issue in the Federal Service. And that's not the worst option: According to local residents, most of the police to meet all of their claims that they "will not bind to non-Russians." The law and the rules of the hostel, we seem to exist only for the Russian, and other nations do not apply.
Today, around the courtyard of the mosque was transformed beyond recognition - it is almost completely occupied Muslim shopping arcade, thanks to which the territory near the mosque began to resemble a bazaar. As they say themselves tenants, even the Tatars, which once belonged to the mosque, do not go there anymore, and there are now all run by Chechens and Central Asians.
Local residents have already brought to the limit brazen and aggressive disregard for their rights and disrespect to their lives. Not only that, they have to start your day under the calls of the muezzin, which spread throughout the area dynamics in the mosque, so they more and start ordering the Muslim clergy, producing a kind of squatting authority over the area. And every year the situation is getting worse and worse.
You can talk a lot about tolerance or religious feelings, but religion and religious structures do not have to poison the life citizens. When representatives of one denomination, especially confessions, the minority, believe that has the right to wake locals constant howling of the speakers, to block the street to your needs and evacuate other people's machines, no good-neighborly relations are impossible in principle. And the more they are impossible when the clergy begins to take functions of civil authority, giving direct orders to local residents.
Russian officials like to speculate about the interethnic and interfaith peace and harmony. That's just hard to imagine peace and harmony in the system, in which one part of the population require the total tolerance, while others allow all, including grossly violate the law and give orders. Such a system - is a time bomb, with the timer it closer and closer approaching the critical point. But it is still possible to disarm. It is still possible.
For example, to meet the legitimate demand of tenants the area and remove the speakers from the mosque, as well as sorting out the grounds on which the clergy allows himself to give orders to citizens about their vehicles.
