You cannot use religion as the advertising,” he said.
The mufti explained that in the video the background is used a preaching mentor in Arabic.
“I listened to the video. It is not they (the participants of the video) say. The background used the preaching mentor. There they say “Allah Akbar”. This cynicism. They either mock the Islamic religion or adopt the hatred of Islam in society,” said Kamashidze.
