Once again, those who have been to Russia are familiar with the truth on this subject. Volgograd is in southern Russia, and only 200 miles from Chechnya. The metropolitan area has approximately 2 million people, and yet we know of only one medium size Islamic mosque in the area. Ethnic Russian Muslims just do not appear to be all that concerned about their religion except in the deep southern part of Russia.

Russian news is so reliable. Yawn.==

But anti-russian news are very very relaible:)). Right?:))

Amazingly in the era of Internet the western publics still continue to be so "thick as wood":). Gary can you explain such fenomena?
After all the russian proverb says: "The knowledge is the force". So if they continue to be goffy then they are weak. Good for Russia!

Russian Muslims celebrate Eid - Moscow, Oct 24. (PTI): Muslims in Russia, who constitute over 12 per cent of the population in Russia on Monday celebrated Eid-ul-Fitr amid growing xenophobia and racial intolerance in the post-Communist society.

Amid tight security arrangements thousands of Muslims gathered in Moscow's main mosque on Monday morning for Eid Namaz led by the Russian Mufti Ravil Ghainuttdin.

In his message, President Vladimir Putin greeted the country's Muslims on the day, traditionally celebrated as Uraza Bairam (Roza Festival), marking the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting.

"This bright festival is an integral part of the richest intangible heritage of our multinational people. It embodies high ideals of moral perfection, drive towards mercifulness and care for near ones," Putin said.

"Russian Muslims have always shown religious tolerance, careful attitude to the traditions of good neighbourliness and mutual understanding," the President said.
