Though I am in Seattle and Moscow is you know where, I want to thank you, Islam leaders.
I'll explain why.
There are 3 million gastarbeiters from Muslim countries in Moscow.
Three million. An army. Mostly, construction and public services people.
Due to corona craze, they were put out of work.
There was a major fear that, without means to existence, they will go looting, robbing and just violent.
To what, Moscow Muslim leaders said - we will hold them in peace until May the 26th.
Charities and donations were organized, food provided, other needs satisfied.
As the result, by mid 20s of May, construction sites were reopened and publicl services returned them to work.
That said, I bow to Muslim/Islam leaders for doing so.
Thank you. That was noble.

In difficult times in particular, Muslims are required to help the needy. It is part of Islam and part of humanity. We do these things regularly so that the poor and needy won't be left without food etc.

Well, that was more than that.
3 million of mostly young and physically apt men, in foreign country, without job and any social protection, is a barrel of powder that could have been lit and explosion guided in various directions, none of them peaceful. I bow to those, who managed to keep it all civil, disregarding rather derogatory general attitude towards them in general population.

No protests, no rioting, no looting.

Very nicely done!
Respects!
