Russia: TV should broadcast less about terrorism, says Chief Mufti



Via RIA Novosti (h/t EuropeNews):

Russian TV channels should broadcast less news about terrorism and extremism, the chief mufti of Russia, Talgat Tadzhuddin, said on Tuesday at a meeting with Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.

"Once an explosion occurs somewhere, it is discussed every hour for at least two days," Tadzhuddin said. He suggested instead that media outlets pay more attention to "the lifestyle of the Russian peoples, their traditions and beliefs."

Tadzhuddin also proposed in February the establishment of a "spirituality tax" to raise money for the construction of new mosques and cathedrals.
