Moscow court bans memes desecrating the Koran

The Preobrazhensky District Court of Moscow has banned the dissemination of offensive memes desecrating the Koran in Russia. This is evidenced by the materials that Izvestia reviewed on October 30.

We are talking about the pictures that were discovered by the interdistrict prosecutor's office during a check on two Internet resources. The authors of the memes depicted the Koran lying in the toilet, the drawings were accompanied by offensive captions.

"The posted materials contain insults based on religion and express clear disrespect for society, which undermines traditional spiritual and moral values," the decision says.

Sites with provocative memes had no age restrictions. The court concluded that such content could harm the mental health of children.

Eid al-Adha in 2025: dates, the spiritual meaning of an important Muslim holiday

In some regions of Russia, the holiday will be an official weekend.

On October 7, the Council of Ulama of the Duma of the Russian Federation decided to ban Muslim couriers from delivering certain goods. It clarifies that we are talking about alcohol, pork and meat that does not meet halal standards. Gambling, idols, objects of pagan worship, meat of animals killed in an illegal way, which contradicts Islam, were also banned.

At the same time, Anastasia Ptukha, a marketer, chairman of the Board of directors, and managing partner of the Step by Step group of companies, said that the ban on the transportation of non-halal products by Muslim couriers would lead to an increase in shipping costs, but one should not expect a sharp increase in prices. According to her, if the number of couriers is reduced, companies may be forced to pay the remaining employees more so that they continue to deliver non-halal goods.
