>Läänemets said: “To draw a parallel, Islamic terrorists who claim to be waging a holy war against the Western world, against Western values; well the present day patriarch and Patriarchate operating out of Moscow are no different from those Islamist terrorists.”
>Läänemets noted that there are various MPEÕK congregations active in Estonia, and that their internal operations are not directly influenced by Moscow, yet the churches’ subordination to Moscow still poses a threat to Estonia’s security.
>The MPEÕK has over 100,000 followers in Estonia.
>”We must understand that if Patriarch Kirill is the head of the church in Moscow, then no matter what is discussed in congregations in Estonia, his message is very forceful and strong, and it certainly reaches people, and this is what certain people (also in Estonia) base their actions on. /…/ We have reason to suspect that (from Russia), preparations are being made for much larger things for the (Orthodox) community, and this also affects Estonia,” Läänemets added.
Just do it based on their rhetoric alone.
