Why is the call to prayer in Arabic? Russia has had a sizable Muslim minority for a long time; are these immigrants from Arab countries?

As for Eurabia, many Americans consider Russia part of Europe.

Russians (and EUers and Americans) should have more babies and not abort them.

The Dhimmification of Russian Muslims?

I guess that they shouldn't complain if they would support it done to Christians in predominately Muslim countries.

So what is it exactly that allows Islam to thrive when Christianity fails?

Not that Orthodoxy has been so fully embraced by the Russians, but all the same, why do Muslims breed like rats, attend worship services, and subsequently make a royal nuisance of themselves soon thereafter?

"We shouldn't have to stand out here in the cold," says Valeev, 32. "What does it show to my son that there is no place in Moscow for us to pray?"

He could try praying at the Aeroflot boarding area at the airport.

If Russia was smart they would stop hassling the American Pentecostal, Mormon, Baptist, etc missionary efforts in their country and start subsidizing them.

That would involve their president not being evil.

An Islamic Russia would be a mega-disaster, not only for Russia itself but for the world. Think of a nuclear Iran times many thousands of deliverable warheads.

It seems that everywhere Muslim women are having "up to 10 children" while the native population wanes. Then they say unless the government caves in to their needs and demands, they "might be driven into the arms of radicals". This thinly veiled threat is quite real. We are going to see interesting times this century.

Russia's overall fertility rate is 1.28 children per woman, far below what is needed to maintain the country's population of about 143 million. Muslim Russians, meanwhile, are bucking the trend, with some communities averaging as many as 10 children per woman...

Since 1989, Russia's Muslim population has increased by 40 per cent to about 25 million. By 2015, Muslims could make up a majority of Russia's conscript army and they could account for one-fifth of the country's population by 2020.

Egad. These are already "French Style" numbers.

Good-Bye, Mother Russia.

Hello, Umma Russia.

I wonder what those "new" Russians will do with all those thousands of nuclear weapons?

Mark Steyn has been calling it right for a few years now. This is one he predicted a while ago.

No doubt. I bought the seemingly reasonable idea that two kids was a good target number when I was younger. I do still feel that human population growth is a major problem, and drives almost every negative trend we have to face in the future. However, at this point I wish I had ten kids myself since I would have done my part in the increasingly obvious REAL World War - the Population War.

Foreign Muslims will conquer Russia, and foreign Hispanics will conquer America, all without firing a shot. I've already become a minority in my native state, though I no longer reside there.

Never mind. We'll use cloning, and they, being more backward, will not be able to.

Thanks for the ping

Russia is in the midst of startling transformation. Islamic faith is thriving across the country. If current trends continue, experts say, more than half of Russia's population will be Muslim by mid-century.
