State Duma deputy predicted a “civilizational” war between Russians and Muslims in the Russian Federation

Islam is a powerful religion, and devoutly religious fanatics are capable of any sacrifice in order to defend their idea of the structure of the world, says Russian State Duma deputy Mikhail Matveev. “We see how they are conquering more and more living space,” he said.

“In Russia there is a serious clash between two civilizations: Russian and Islam. Muslims are not satisfied with Russian civilization, both in its secular form and as Orthodox. When the SVO ends and half a million of our guys return from the front, then the main clashes will begin,” Matveev suggested ominously.
