[The attack was] far from being the first [of its kind in choosing religious figures], several well-known muftis in the Caucasus, who professed moderate Islam and who called for inter-ethnic and inter-religious peace, have died at the hands of such thugs. [Extremists] have put themselves not only outside of any religion but also apart from humankind; their only goal is to kill innocent people, chiefly those who promote eternal values, morals and spirituality, in this world. [I urge law enforcement agencies not only to find and punish those who planned and committed this attack but also to] take all legitimate actions to eliminate the jihadist underworld. The attack on the rabbi, as well as the previous attacks on Muslim figures, have pursued the goal of destabilizing all of society and undermining the noble pillars upon which our country’s unity has been built for centuries."
