Russia's Muslim Spiritual Board has denounced the Islamic State, according to a report from the Interfax news agency.
The Islamic State’s adherents “erroneously interpret Islam as a religion of coarseness, brutality, torture, violence, and killing anyone who disagrees with them,” the Muslim Spiritual Board stated in its fatwa, or legal opinion. “This is a serious crime against Islam and the Muslims of the entire world.”
