GROZNY, August 3 (RIA Novosti) - First Vice Prime Minister of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov has banned gambling in the republic, announcing that all gambling facilities in Chechnya will be closed.

"I am giving a week's notice to the owners of gambling parlors to dismantle their equipment," he said. "Otherwise, I will destroy the machines myself. Gambling is against the laws of Islam and has a negative impact on the younger generation."

He also denied rumors that he owns a slot-machine business.

"There are rumors that I own slot-machines. It is a lie," Kadyrov said, adding that he has never been involved and will not get involved in the gambling business.

I wish there's no word "Islam". Gambling is bad without islam.

"Gambling is against the laws of Islam and has a negative impact on the younger generation."

God forbid ! it may take the moslem youth's minds off of becoming homicide bombers and jihadi terrorist murderers.
Maybe they won't want to go to Pakistan and attend the
brainwash madrassas !
