Russia sees Muslim population boom

[Cheetah786]

Low domestic birth rates and rising immigration from the former Soviet republics have produced an explosive growth in Russia's Muslim community.

At the same time Russia's overall population is in crisis. Short life spans and low birth rates among ethnic Russians mean the population is declining by 700,000 people a year.
The return of long-denied religious freedoms in Russia has seen Islam flourish. As a result, many ethnic Russians fear their country is losing its national identity.
There are around 25 million Muslims in Russia today, a rise of 40 per cent since 1989.
By 2020, with the continued growth rate, Muslims will account for one-fifth of the entire population.

Immigration

Their numbers continue to grow, fed by immigration from largely Muslim, former Soviet republics in the North Caucasus and Central Asia.

Islamic leaders have said that Russia is a haven for Muslim immigrants, keen to work and build on their growing community, and they discount the rise of hostile nationalist sentiment.
Damir Gizatullin, from the Council of Muftis, said: "Some irresponsible politicians want to achieve electoral success by creating nationalist waves.

"When they say Russia is for Russians, it's a mistaken path that could lead to the break-up of the Russian Federation."

Many ethnic Russians are terrified at the prospect of becoming a minority in their own country.

Alexander Belov, from the Movement Against Illegal Immigration, said: "History is a fight between races and religions.

"It's the law of nature ... people are used to being with people like themselves, speaking the language their mothers taught them."

The Orthodox Church, restored since the Soviet collapse, remains dominant in Russia.

But with the rise of Islam, coupled with the negative growth in Russia's ethnic Slav population, dramatic change is under way.

If the trend continues, the Muslim population could outnumber ethnic Russians within 30 years.

Pakistani Forum doesnt mean you mean show thumbs up at someone else's plight cuz it is helping your way of life better. Those are the kind of people you call inhumane freaks. Humanity is the greatest religion of all.

With the Russian Economy booming, the Russian Government is planning very nice incentive packages to Russian couples who will have more children.

So this is just a temporary thing.

People have problem with muslims getting happy at the fact that islam is growing i wonder what kind of people are those.And where did this breaking up the nation comes up from u have issues deal with it dont tell me how to feel when i hear a news i like.i didnt say any where that muslims will break up russia.but i guess its your own bad thoughts for others.

 

[Mercenary]

The incentive package will only be offered to Russian people and not central Asian people.

Russia considers the growing Islamic population a threat due to the wars in Chechnya and other Caucasus countries.

The only problem with the growing muslim population in Europe is they are some of the most stupidest muslims on the planet.

USA and Canada have this filtration process where they can easily filter out the trash, but Europe being so close to the arab world cannot do it and what you have are some really fucked up muslims living in Europe and blemishing the name of Islam and causing ordinary Europeans to fear Islam and its growth in Europe and which is leading to right wing conservatives to come to power who will expel all the muslims from europe.

I would suggest that you read your own news piece first before posting,There is nothing wrong in ISLAM prospering and growing, as long as it doesnt make any extremist turn which this article does show since they are talkin about breaking up Russia at very early stage.
So you tell me why should a traditional secular(if any) like or support the idea.
