On the October 25, 2024, episode of the Grozny TV program "Chechen History: War and Peace," Chechnya's Mufti Salah-Hadji Mezhiev said:
Since ancient times, enemies of Allah have existed – the Jews and the currents they spawned, such as atheism. And it doesn't matter where this happens – in the Arab world or in Europe – pseudo-Orientalists are everywhere spreading lies. If you listen to the topics they raise and the questions they ask, it becomes clear: the source of their ideas is Satanism.
Russian newspapers publicized the statement, and Russia's Chief Rabbi Berel Lazar strongly condemned it.
Mezhiev then gave an unlikely explanation, saying, "My talk in the program was not only about 'enemies of Allah' but about 'enemies of all humanity, that is, the evil that united under one banner, which is the West,....Western European countries, under the pretext of freedom of expression, allow the insult of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the burning of the Holy Quran.' "
Which means he thinks the Jews control the Western world.
He then claimed that he respects all nationalities, religions, and sects.
In September 2023, the Mufti received a letter of appreciation from Russian President Vladimir Putin in recognition of his role in "strengthening the unity of Russian society and consolidating the values of interfaith tolerance."
