Oct 25, 2012 10:28 Moscow Time
Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has congratulated Russian Muslims on the forthcoming Muslim Feast of Sacrifice (Eid al-Adha), the Kremlin’s press service has reported earlier today.
Putin has laid particular stress on that “the Muslim community in Russia is playing a significant role in promoting an inter-religious and inter-ethnic dialogue and a closer unity of the country’s people. [The Community] is intensely involved in charity, revival of family values and activities aimed to curb extremism and terrorism.”

Eid al-Adha is an Islamic festival to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim (also known as Abraham) to follow Allah's command to sacrifice his son Ishmael. Muslims around the world observe this event.
