Ramzan Kadyrov displaying Prophet's "Holy Bowl"
A video shows Kadyrov, collecting the Holy Bowl from a private jet at Grozny airport and getting into a convertible Rolls-Royce covered in black and gold rugs, also said to have been brought from London. The Rolls-Royce leads a motorcade of dozens of cars to the city's grand mosque, opened by the Chechen leader in 2008 as part of his drive to increase the official role of Islam in the republic. Thousands of residents lined the streets as Kadyrov waved and wiped away tears. Wearing a bright purple suit and black skullcap, Kadyrov pushes through a massive crowd at the mosque, the largest in Europe. As he opens the box to reveal the bowl, Kadyrov erupts into loud sobs, shoulders shaking. He covers his reddened face after he kisses the Holy Bowl for the first time, leading the crowd in chants of "Allahu Akbar".
The sacred bowl was brought from London to Grozny and dated back 1,400 years. The bowl will be kept at the mosque and brought out every year on Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) birthday for public display.
