Orthodox priest from Bar, Milan Radulović, reacted to the text of the portal Unmasking, Pswearing "under full moral, spiritual and criminal responsibility" that all information from his work biography is correct.
"My friends in Montenegro told me that the Raskrinkavanje portal is a serious story and that it is made up of quality and honest journalists. This gives me hope that the background of everything is not the pressure I am exposed to just because I expressed my theological conviction that Orthodoxy should not be abuses it for political purposes. I think that the target is not me, Milan Radulović, who on this occasion has been called into question in every possible sense, but the real intention is to make senseless and invalidate the fact that I loudly said what every Orthodox theologian in the world thinks, and that is, I repeat, that Orthodoxy has no place in politics and that citizens of Montenegro are denied the right to express themselves freely in elections, without the interference and direct guidance of church authorities. Under full moral, spiritual and criminal responsibility, I declare that all data from my work biography correct", says Radulović in response.
He points out that he is not responsible if some data is transmitted differently from the original.
"In my official biography, it is not stated that I am a professor at Brock University, but I have given lectures on Islamic philosophy there several times, by invitation. I am not responsible if this and some other information is presented differently. I am sorry that I did not react in time to arbitrary presentation of data from my biography, but I repeat that I am not responsible for that and I cannot register and react to all that. It is true that I finished elementary school and high school in Bar. After two years of studying directing at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade, I moved to The United States of America, where I entered and graduated from the St. Sava School of Theology in Libertyville, which is at the level of the faculty, and received the title of theologian. In the period from 1993-1995, I studied at the Aristotelian University of Thessaloniki, where I completed a master's degree in general theology and theology. also graduated from Balamand University in Lebanon in 1996 on the topic "Philosophy of Rumi and its influence on Thesauf". I also attended and completed my master's studies at the Dawah Faculty of Islamic Studies in Beirut, Lebanon in 1996. After that, I received a scholarship to attend doctoral studies at the Pontifical Urbaniana University in Rome in the period 1996-98. I defended my doctoral thesis, in Italian, on the topic "Liturgy of St. apostle and evangelist Mark in the light of contemporary liturgical practice". From 2003-05 I worked as a teacher in the seminary of St. P. Cetinjski in Cetinje, simultaneously performing the duties of an official in the Metropolitan's cabinet in charge of the English language, an editor at Radio Svetogora for the Contemporary Orthodox Theology column (60 radio lectures were given) and a parish priest of the Second Cetinje Parish. I speak and write 12 languages fluently, all as stated by the Raskrinkavanje portal. It is true that I am the author of 14 books on Christianity and Islam, as well as over a hundred articles, and that I occasionally write poetry, along with being a member of ANAP," says Radulović.
The Raskrinkavanje portal, he adds, publishes photos of his page on the Academia portal, misinterpreting the facts.
"Based on the photo itself, it is clear that I was a student of postdoctoral studies with a clear note that my job, according to the present, is a professor at the Islamic Institute in Toronto, which I am to this day. That engagement also brings me my basic income. My last salary at I was admitted to the faculty in August, which is also confirmed by my bank statements. I live there in room number 122. The University of Toronto published my book "Medieval History". At the Islamic Institute, I refer you to my employer, Acting Dean Yusuf Ali, who is available at the contact details in the attachment. Disclosure is trying to make Dr. Mustafa Kthab, who is also the head imam of one of the Turkish Islamic communities in Toronto (Anatolia), even more controversial by the way. This is done only because I mentioned him as my friend stating that he is a professor at the university with the conclusion that I misrepresented. It is probably true that he is not on the payroll and does voluntary work at Brock University, but why should I know that? To me, that does not diminish his quality as an Islamic theologian, nor does it detract from the fact that he teaches and teaches there lectures, regardless of format. There is also link his lectures. Unfortunately, how much Raskrinkavanje wants to be ill-intentioned towards me is also confirmed by the following link that escaped the portal's researchers. Namely, on this link, Dr. Mustafa Kthab is even listed as a member of the Brock University Administration, and I am certainly not among those responsible if that information is not correct: https://theclearquran.org/? fbclid=IwAR0zqMhG7e0HeVNfTvfV4kXV4ZjwA1ATTp5YrYPEi62TAeUlEguD1kPvsAc," says Radulović.
The debunking, he adds, states that the search did not lead to the translation of the Qur'an which he authored. The reason for this, he explains, is that the book has not been published but is already in print.
"The media often use photos of their own choice as an illustration for a news item. There is no rational explanation that I would provide them with an illustration of someone else's translation and write about my translation alongside it. Even if I completely copied it, there is no reasonable explanation that I would do that and so on. "exposed" himself. Although it is said that there is no explicit proof that the illustration speaks of my translation with such a setting. The debunking indicates that this connection, that is, theft, is not excluded. I submit in pdf version a copy of my translation of the Qur'an, trusting that you will treat it fairly to take away. The foreword to my edition of the Qur'an was written by Haris ef. Mekić, which I am also submitting in a pdf version in Bosnian. I am also submitting evidence that I submitted the complete material to the printer for printing," says Radulović in his response.
He points out that with the text "Islam is the religion of truth, justice and peace" by Sead ef. Jasavić has nothing to do with it.
"Portal ujenikje.com published that text, transferred it from Latin to Cyrillic, and published it under my name with the intention of presenting me as a shameful Serbian priest who "changed his religion and accepted Islam". Unfortunately, that text was also transmitted by certain Islamic the media, even those of a more radical type, thinking it was true. I denied, as much as I could and knew, both allegations, which I confirm with a correspondence from the social network "Facebook" from 2017 (attachment). I contacted a lawyer and after that the portal "ujedinjenje.com" was shut down. After a few months, those people opened a new portal "srpskoujedinjenje.com". After they saw me in Bar serving in the temple as an Orthodox priest, they concluded that I had not changed my religion, they apologized to me because of writing. Everything happened, check, because of my affirmative and defensive statements towards Islam and because of my frequent condemnation of genocide against Muslims," concluded Radulović in his response.
