On February 4th, 2013, Vladimir Putin, the Russian president,
addressed the Duma (Russian Parliament), and gave a speech about the tensions
with minorities in Russia:
"In
Russia live Russians. Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live in
Russia, to work and eat in Russia, should speak Russian, and should
respect the Russian laws. If they prefer Shari ‘a Law, then we advise them
to go to those places where that's the state law. Russia does not need
minorities. Minorities need Russia, and we will not grant them special
privileges, or try to change our laws to fit their desires, no matter how
loud they yell 'discrimination'. We better learn from the suicides of
America, England, Holland and France, if we are to survive as a nation.
The Russian customs and traditions are not compatible with the lack of culture
or the primitive ways of most minorities. When this honourable
legislative body thinks of creating new laws, it should have in mind the
national interest first, observing that the minorities are not Russians.
The politicians in the Duma gave
Putin a standing ovation for five minutes!
Now THAT'S a President that leads!
