i am Muslim and can confirm that for men to wear gold is in fact strictly forbidden (and this is very widely followed).
however, you can't really be sure it's actually made of gold... and even if you could, the ring alone doesn't prove much.
the majority of the other "points" can be shot down.
the part about Russian seemed the most damning, but i had my friend listen to the entire video (i've definitely got the full one, because i got it off one of the fanatical muslim sites when it was first released) and he heard no Russian whatsoever.
i'm not a native arabic speaker so i may not be 100% reliable for this, but as far as i could discern there was no "russian" accent in the arabic.
the other oddities, involving the chairs and the time, are rather trivial.
