A new law on extremism in Russia has come under fire after the banning of a book about the Islamic way of life. 'The Personality of a Muslim' was banned by a court in the Orenburg region after it was decided the book risked inciting religious hatred. A translation of the book, by Arabic author Muhammad Ali Al-Hashimi, could see its publisher, Aslambek Ezhayev, behind bars.
