Russian Muslim Organization Claims Responsibility for the Murder of Fr. Daniil Sysoyev

An organization calling itself "The Information and Analytical Section of the Staff of the Armed Forces of the Caucasus Emirate" has claimed responsibility for the recent murder of Russian Orthodox clergyman Daniil Sysoyev for insulting Islam.

A statement posted on the organizations's website said that the assassin entered the premises where the clergyman was staying and fired several shots at him, the Interfax-Religion website reports today.

"We are not waging a war against peaceful Christians living in Russian territory, but we are warning everyone that anyone who dares to open his mouth to insult Islam and Muslims may share Sysoyev's fate. The warning equally applies to all public figures, journalists, and politicians who dare to insult Allah's religion," the statement said.
