Former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada, Nadezhda Savchenko, during a trip to Turkey, bought the Koran and put on a veil. In this guise, she was photographed in the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul.
The corresponding photos were published by Savchenko on Facebook.
“In the modern world, Islam is customary to perceive as a religion oppression and infringement of human rights, especially women. Few people will see that Islam is a religion of space and freedom for the soul, spirit and faith in God – Allah”, – Savchenko wrote.
Also, the former people’s deputy showed the Koran translated into Ukrainian.
Why did Savchenko wear a burqa?
Nadezhda Savchenko answered the commentators who also asked this question. She explained that “the publication was not about religion in its spiritual sense, but about how the politics of the modern world uses religion in building the state. “
She noted that there are almost no Christian churches in Turkey. Once Sofia was a Christian temple, but now it has been rebuilt into a mosque. Everything that would testify to the Christian time is covered with plywood.
“The more the same type of religion dominates the state, the more united, stable and predictable it makes people’s behavior in terms of their moral values. (…) Faith is an individual choice of each person, how to remain a person in harmony with his conscience and with the world around him. And religion is the art of managing the masses, ” said Savchenko.
