Posted: 25 May 2017 12:17 PM PDT Российскую государственность невозможно представить без духовного исторического опыта Церкви25 мая. ПРАВМИР. Президент России Владимир Путин выступил на церемонии освящения храма Воскресения Христова и Новомучеников и Исповедников Церкви Русской в Сретенском монастыре Москвы. «Ваше Святейшество, Ваше Высокопреосвященство, дорогие друзья! Церемония освящения нового храма Сретенского монастыря – важное, значимое событие не только для православных верующих, но и для нашего общества в целом. И вот почему: этот храм посвящён и Воскресению Христову, и новомученикам, то есть памяти тех, кто пострадал за веру в период богоборчества, кто погиб в ходе репрессий; и вместе с тем он олицетворяет примирение. Глубоко символично, что новый храм открывается в год 100-летия февральской и октябрьской революций, ставших отправной точкой для очень многих из тех тяжелейших испытаний, через которые пришлось пройти нашей стране в XX веке. Мы должны помнить и светлые, и трагические страницы истории, учиться воспринимать её целиком, объективно, ничего не замалчивая. Только так возможно в полной мере понять и осмыслить уроки, которые нам преподносит прошлое. Мы знаем, как хрупок гражданский мир, – теперь мы это знаем, – мы никогда не должны забывать об этом. Не должны забывать о том, как тяжело затягиваются раны расколов. И именно поэтому наша общая обязанность – делать всё от нас зависящее для сохранения единства российской нации, через постоянный диалог поддерживать общественно-политическое согласие и, опираясь на наши традиционные ценности, на ценности наших традиционных религий – православия, ислама, иудаизма, буддизма, – не допускать никакого ожесточения и никакого раскола. Создание общности целей, главная из которых – благополучие каждого нашего человека и нашей Родины в целом, и есть тот ключ, который помогает преодолевать разногласия. Ярчайшим подтверждением тому служит и восстановление единства Русской Православной Церкви, десятилетие которого мы отмечаем в эти дни. Путь к возрождению церковной целостности, объединению Русской Православной Церкви Московского патриархата и Русской православной церкви за границей был непростым. Да иначе и быть не могло: за долгие годы разобщённости, уходящей своими корнями в драму братоубийственной гражданской войны, накопилось слишком много противоречий и взаимного недоверия. Но обе церкви, искренне стремясь к укреплению православия, укреплению нашей общей Родины, сумели достойно пройти этот путь. Русская Православная Церковь здесь, в России, страдая, неся огромные потери, всегда была рядом с народом. А Русская Православная Церковь за границей всегда помогала нашим соотечественникам, оказавшимся вдали от Родины, не только сохранять веру, но и ощущать свою тесную связь с Родиной, с Россией, с её традициями, языком, с нашей культурой. И восстановление единства укрепило эту связь. Оно стало и остаётся событием огромного нравственного звучания, символом и примером того, что история нашей страны, её прошлое могут и должны не разъединять, а объединять всех нас. Нашу страну, саму российскую государственность невозможно представить без духовного исторического опыта Русской Православной Церкви, который передаётся из поколения в поколение через пастырское слово. Уверен, новый храм Сретенского монастыря станет ярким, притягательным центром религиозной и просветительской деятельности, будет способствовать укоренению в нашем обществе идей добра, взаимоуважения и примирения. |
MANCHESTER EL DIA DESPUES DEL ATAQUE DE LA BESTIA Posted: 24 May 2017 05:15 AM PDT Lounging on a Libyan beach with his childhood mates, the cannabis-smoking teenager who went on to slaughter 22 people in Manchester Arena attack after being radicalised and 'receiving secret terror training in Syria'
Lounging on the beach in Libya with friends and hanging out with his mates in Manchester, this is the teenage boy who became a suicide bomber. Exclusive pictures show Salman Abedi as an innocent schoolboy, about seven years before he murdered 22 people including children as young as eight by detonating a bomb at Manchester Arena on Monday night. According to schoolmates of the 22-year-old killer, the pictures were taken near his home in South Manchester and on a trip in his parents' home country of Libya when he was 14 or 15. The 'ordinary' teenager posing in the new photographs was described as 'quiet' and 'not the sort of kid that stood out' and showed little interest in religion, friends told MailOnline, adding that he even smoked cannabis. There is no suggestion any of the friends he was pictured with have been involved in any wrongdoing. He went to Burnage Academy, a boy's school catering largely to Manchester's Asian community, and was a keen footballer, often playing at the ground at Whalley Range High School where the Manchester United Foundation held soccer sessions, they said.

There is a no suggestion any of the friends he is pictured with have been involved in any wrong doing Exclusive pictures show Salman Abedi (circled) as an innocent schoolboy, seven years before he murdered 22 people including children as young as eight by detonating a bomb at Manchester Arena on Monday night. There is a no suggestion any of the friends he is pictured with have been involved in any wrong doing Salman Abedi (pictured) had only just returned from war-torn Libya before launching his horrific attack and is believed to have undergone secret jihadi training Thousands of troops will be deployed to guard 'key locations' amid fears another attack is 'imminent'. British soldiers were pictured arriving by bus this morning and heading towards a building near New Scotland Yard in London Pictures show troops arriving at a Ministry of Defence Building today. They had earlier been seen boarding buses at wellington Barracks in London after Theresa May raised the terrorism threat level in Britain to 'critical' 'None of them were your typical Salafis or religious or extremists. No religion was involved,' a schoolmate said. A year ago, all of this changed when the killer started hanging out with 'people I hadn't seen before', one neighbour and schoolmate claimed. 'It was like a turning-point,' he told MailOnline. 'He suddenly started hanging out with people I'd never seen before and not his old friends anymore.' A different schoolmate of the bomber, who was in the same class throughout secondary school, told MailOnline that Abedi had never shown any interest in religion. 'He was just a normal kid, not one of those who ever particularly stood out,' he said. Yet neighbours of a family in suburban Manchester linked to Abedi said the family there were 'super religious'. Fresh details of the attacker emerged as:
Police this morning searched the property and two officers remain stationed outside. Neighbours say that Abedi was seen 'in and out' of the house over the years and stayed there from time to time, but it is not clear whether this was his family home. 'The family is super religious. They have about 10 kids and you never see any of the girls,' one neighbour, who did not want to be named, said. 'I only ever saw the mother once or twice in 10 years. She always stayed in the house and whenever I saw her she was wearing a veil.' Fresh police raids took place today with three men arrested over the attack. Police descended on two homes south Manchester yesterday Police were seen outside a house in South Manchester this morning, in connection with three new arrests over the attack Three men were arrested in fresh raids this morning, Greater Manchester Police revealed today. An officer is pictured at the scene of the arrest Armed police officers patrol a police cordon near the Manchester Arena in Manchester this morning amid heightened security Operation: Armed police outside Manchester Piccadilly train station during the early morning rush hour this morning Armed police were seen patrolling the streets of Manchester today after Theresa May raised the terrorism threat level to 'critical' - the highest possible rating Last night it emerged he had only just returned from war-torn Libya before launching his horrific attack and was seen as the 'face of hate' among some neighbours. British-born Abedi had spent time in a conflict zone - possibly Syria - before slaughtering 22 in a suicide bomb atrocity at Manchester Arena on Monday night, it has been claimed. A friend of Abedi, a Mancunian of Libyan descent, said the attacker had returned from a three-week trip to Libya - also an ISIS hotbed - just days ago. He is understood to have made regular journeys to the North African country in recent years. It was also claimed last night that he had travelled by train from London to Manchester on Monday in advance of the attack. This has raised suspicions that he may have met co-conspirators or been supplied with his explosive device and was effectively being used as a 'mule' by an as-yet-unidentified bombmaker. French interior minister Gerard Collomb said this morning Abedi is believed to have travelled to Syria and had 'proven' links with ISIS. Home Secretary Amber Rudd said the 22-year-old was known to intelligence services 'up to a point' and that it 'seems likely' he was not acting alone in the run up to the massacre. Hours later, police in Manchester revealed three men had been arrested in the south of the city. Two teenagers, an eight-year-old girl, two mothers, a Polish couple and a hero aunt who shielded her niece are among those killed in the atrocity. Forensics officers were seen working near Manchester Arena this morning as they examined the scene of the atrocity Investigation: Scenes of crime officers wearing white suits were working close to the scene of the attack this morning Police officers stand next to floral tributes left for the victims of an attack on concert goers at Manchester Arena, in St Ann's Square, Manchester, today A woman pauses to look at floral tributes and messages in Manchester, this morning.

The imam of Didsbury Mosque, Mohammed Saeed revealed Salman stopped going to the mosque in 2015 as he objected to anti- ISIS comments. He said: 'Salman used to come to the mosque occasionally, he wasn't particularly friendly towards me because he didn't like my anti-ISIS sermons. 'He didn't like what I was saying and showed me the face of hate. He came to the mosque less and less after that.' In an update on the investigation this morning, Amber Rudd said: 'It seems likely, possible, that he wasn't doing this on his own so the intelligence services and the police are pursuing their leads in order to make sure they get all the information ... that they need to keep us safe. French Interior Minister Gerard Collomb later suggested British investigators had told Paris counterparts that Abedi had probably travelled to Syria. It raises the question of whether Abedi had links to French jihadists and terror cells. 'Today we only know what British investigators have told us - someone of British nationality, of Libyan origin, who suddenly after a trip to Libya, then probably to Syria, becomes radicalised and decides to carry out this attack,' Collomb told BFMTV. Pressed on how he knew Abedi had been in Syria, Collomb said this was the information that French and British intelligence services had. Asked if he believed Abedi had the support of a network, Collomb said: 'That is not known yet, but perhaps. In any case, (he had) links with Daesh (ISIS) that are proven.' Police were standing outside Abedi's house in Fallowfield this morning as the hunt for possibly accomplices continued Officers were seen entering and leaving the building this morning as it emerged that three men have been arrested over the attack Police were also guarding a block of flats in South Manchester that was also at the centre of a raid yesterday Police were still on the scene at Salman Abedi's home in Fallowfield, Manchester, today. Aa controlled explosion took place yesterday during a raid A huge number of police - including armed officers - carried out a raid on a house in the Fallowfield area of the city. They remained on guard today (pictured) Meanwhile, France's president Emmanuel Macron is seeking to extend the country's state of emergency, imposed after ISIS attacks, until November, the Elysee Palace announced. Prime Minister Theresa May said yesterday that troops will be deployed to guard Buckingham Palace and other 'key locations' across Britain amid fears of a further terror attack. The Palace of Westminster today closed off access to all non-passholders. Mrs May raised the terrorism threat level to 'critical' - the highest possible rating - on amid fears another atrocity is 'imminent'. Pictures this morning showed troops assembling at Wellington Barracks in London and entering a building near New Scotland Yard. Abedi, who was born in Manchester after his religious parents fled Libya to escape the Gaddafi regime, had returned to Libya in the past week, a school friend told The Times. The friend said: 'He went to Libya three weeks ago and came back recently, like days ago.' According to the Sun, sources fear Abedi took advantage of the war in Libya to travel across the Mediterranean to Syria - without the knowledge of British officials. Abedi was known to the security services before he walked into the arena on Monday night and detonated a bomb packed with nails, nuts and bolts, killing 22 people including children as young as eight. He is also being probed over alleged ties to an 'ISIS recruiter' in Manchester. Yesterday, police carried out a controlled explosion at his home in the Fallowfield area of south Manchester following a dramatic raid by dozens of officers on the red-brick semi. Chemical experts were seen outside with specialist instruments amid fears that he could have obtained radioactive material. According to the Mirror, Abedi was friends with Raphael Hostey, also known as Abu Qaqa al-Britani, who served as an ISIS recruiter until he was killed in 2016 in Syria by a drone strike. They were said to be family friends and it is feared Hostey may have helped radicalise Abedi. There are also fears Abedi may have been inspired by Manchester-born Jamal al-Harith, who carried out a recent suicide bombing in Iraq. Police yesterday recovered CCTV of Abedi striding into the Manchester Arena with what officers believe was a home-made bomb Amid a series of other revelations, it was claimed that his father – an airport security officer – had left the UK to fight in Libya. Sources also said his mother had raised concerns about her son's radical views before she herself left for Libya. In addition, police were quizzing his brother Ismail, 23, on suspicion of involvement in the bombing. A family friend, who asked not to be named, described the bomber as 'normal' and said they were known to the Libyan community in the city. He told the Press Association: 'He was always friendly, nothing to suggest (he was violent). He was normal, to be honest.' Although Abedi was known to the security services, he was not under surveillance and officers had no inkling he was building a bomb. Born in Manchester in 1994, the third of four children, his parents were Libyan refugees who came to the UK to escape the Gaddafi regime and his father is a suspected fighter who left the UK in 2011 to try to overthrow the Libyan leader. Ramadan Abedi, an airport security officer who is thought to have worked at Manchester Airport, emigrated to London with his wife Samia Tabbal, 50, before moving to the Fallowfield area of south Manchester where they settled in a housing association-owned home about two miles from the scene of Monday night's terror attack. Friends and neighbours said Abedi appeared to be a normal football-mad teenager who was a massive Manchester United fan and spent hours playing computer games on the PS4 But everything changed in 2011 when his father abruptly left his job and home in the anonymous suburb to fight in Libya, leaving his family to fend for themselves, according to a local imam. Abedi and his brothers appear to have followed in his footsteps by sharing stories of British jihadis fighting in Syria on social networks and even praying in the street. Within hours of the attack carried out by Abedi, police arrested his brother Ismail, 23, outside a Morrison's in Chorlton, Manchester and last night they were quizzing him on suspicion of involvement in the bombing. |
