Excerpt:
Mayor of Moscow Yury Luzhkov compared the activity of the capital's authorities with that of religious organizations and described it as "jihad".
"Religion is Jihad, but not the one that scares people, rather, it helps people to create," Luzhkov said at an international conference Russia - Islamic World: Partnership for Stability held on Thursday in Moscow.
According to him, "the creation is also fighting, efforts, and pains which each of us should take in human communication, business, economy, and government design."
