Hi @Mupper-san: this article is new enough, long enough, and well-sourced. However, I'm not sure how accurate this hook is from the body of the article. We have Ali-Hajji saying The Bolsheviks are not against us living according to sharia and him, as a member of Bolshevik committee, promising that the committee would establish sharia courts. None of this suggests he thought the Bolsheviks were going to establish the courts, just that he thought they would tolerate the courts, and sought to set them up. Of course, I don't have access to your sources and can't read Russian. Is there something you can incorporate from them that makes what Ali-Hajji thought clearer?

- @Tenpop421:, that's a good point, and the choice of the word "implement" was incorrect on my part. I would have no bias against changing the word to "support" or "allow", but I'm unaware of how to the proper procedure for how to adjust a hook if it's just one word.

  - @Mupper-san: To replace an old hook, you can just strikethrough the old hook and add an "ALT" hook. Do you think this is line with the source?

ALT1:: that Ali-Hajji of Akusha supported the Bolsheviks because he believed they would allow sharia courts?
