An ethnic Ukrainian Muslim woman, who recently converted to Islam (before that, she was a believing Christian), caused alarm with several Russian police gangs of the city of Bryansk near the Ukrainian border while was praying in a supermarket.
According to Islam, Muslims must complete 5 daily namaz (or prayers) at scheduled times. The woman was in a supermarket at the time of one of the prayers; she decided that she should not neglect her prescribed obligation.
According to the publication Our Bryansk, vigilant citizens thought the praying woman standing in line was "suspicious": she was "waving her arms" and "they thought she was acting like a suicide bomber".
Not able to calm their nerves from the sight of a Muslim woman praying, supermarket employees called the police and reported about an explosive device. Meanwhile, the woman left the building.
Police, an investigative unit, and a technical division of the OMON gang rushed to the scene of the incident.
For about three hours, explosives experts carefully searched the premises of the hypermarket, but they did not find anything.
Meanwhile, the police intensified their search for the woman throughout the city; all police posts received her description.
See was spotted through windows of a passing bus. The bus was stopped, and the police arrested her.
Her identity card said that she was born in the Ukrainian city of Kharkov. She explained to suspicious Russian police that her "strange behavior" was only her obligatory evening prayers.
