Do not trust Russia's friendship, its enmity towards Islam is clear and explicit
The News:
Al-Thawra daily newspaper, published in Sana'a, reported on Monday, July 21, a news item entitled "Joint rescue maneuvers between Iran and Russia today in the Caspian Sea," in which it said: "The marine rescue exercise Casarex 2025, hosted by the Iranian Navy, is scheduled to be held in the Caspian Sea for 3 days starting on Monday. The Iranian Mehr News Agency reported that the joint rescue exercises in the Caspian Sea, "Casarex 2025", will be held with the participation of ships from Iran and the Russian Federation, starting today, and will be hosted by the Northern Fleet of the Iranian Navy."
Comment:
All the countries overlooking the Caspian Sea (Azerbaijan, Iran, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan) are Islamic countries, except for Russia. It is strange that Iran hosts maneuvers with the participation of Russian naval forces, and representatives of the rest of the Islamic countries overlooking the Caspian Sea attend as observers!
Although recent history indicates a real and explicit animosity between Iran and Russia, when Soviet Russia invaded northern Iran in the wake of World War I, leaving its southern half to Britain. In the end, Moscow carved Azerbaijan out of Iran, established a Soviet state in it, and annexed it to separate it from the Muslim countries, and because of its oil wealth, Azerbaijan's share alone is 60% of the oil reserves of the Caspian Sea. It left itself the right to invade Iran again in the 1922 agreement!
But today we are surprised by this close friendship between Tehran and Moscow, even though Russia's enmity towards Islam, both old and new, is explicit. Islam reached the Caucasus, Dagestan, neighboring Chechnya and Bulgaria, and the Khazar Sea "Caspian" early in the year 19 AH, i.e. during the era of the Rashidun Caliphate, but Russia turned away from it, and remained on its paganism, and when it moved to a new religion, it chose Orthodox Christianity. Islam continued its advance towards it in Tatarstan, Crimea and Ukraine.
The reactions from Russia were hostile; in the Tsarist era, when it invaded Crimea, it killed and slaughtered Muslims, destroyed mosques, and turned them into churches, and in the Soviet era, when it expanded its influence beyond the Urals to the east, until it reached Western Turkestan (Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan), as well as what it is waging today of war on Muslims in its territories!
What security and stability does Iran seek in these Caspian Sea maneuvers, with the participation of the Russian naval forces, given that Russia is a clear and explicit enemy of Islam and Muslims?! Islamic countries cannot have security and stability except under the second Rashidun Caliphate on the Prophetic method, and that their land be opened to it when it is established, and that the artificial borders between them be removed.
