Talk:Islam in Russia

message: "General consensus amongst most observers is that Islam is currently the most rapidly growing religion within the borders of Russia."
- Serious sources are needed for this. All sociologists of religion I am aware of are convinced that Protestantism is the most rapidly growing religion in Russia. Unless everyone of "Muslim origin" is automatically classified as Muslim, this claim is at the very least strongly debatable.

message: I was curious as to why Silantyev was cited continuously in the article? Most scholars appreciate citing a source no more than twice on a page. MPA 02:49, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Conversion to Christianity: Subjective Sources? 

message: The caricature that appears on the right side of the page is not an Arabian propaganda caricature. First of all, it reads: "Bakü'de Müslüman kabristanlığı". Which means "Muslim cemetery in Baku" in Turkish. Second, since it was written in Ottoman/Persian alphabet but in Turkish language, it makes little to no sense that Arabs wrote it. Ottomans, whose population included large numbers of Turks, have felt sympathy towards Azeris and other Turkic peoples of Russia, and have always expressed their "distaste" for Russian rule in Caucasia and Central Asia. Therefore, the caricature must belong to Ottoman times, and was clearly and definately written in Turkish, be it Azeri or Ottoman.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.231.159.215 (talk) 21:02, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  The "Arabian caricature" 

message: The crimes in this paragraph are about nationalistic, ethnic xenophobia, not about religious hate. Speaking in terms of wikipedia policy, no reliable sources are given, proving that this crimes are a sort of a islamophobia. Furthermore, it is written about "racist attacks" in this article. that's correct. but it has no direct link to persecution of muslims. I've no doubt, that the majority of neo-nazis, who commited those crimes, do not like islam. But nevertheles, the victims were chosen not by religion but by ethnicity.--95.25.225.44 (talk) 07:06, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rise in hate crimes 

message: The opening paragraphs says, "According to Reuters, Muslim minorities make up a seventh (14%) of Russia's population" and cites a Reuters article from 2011, which does not in turn give any kind of citation for it's claim.  This seems very spurious indeed, especially when the 'Islam' section of the Religion in Russia page directly contradicts the 14% claim.

thread_title:  Why the hell are there 23(seriously twenty-fucking-three!) citations for "Obama ice cream"? 

message: The summary writes the Muslim population as being reported as 12-15%, would it be accurate to say that, and does this refer to traditionally Muslim ethnic groups? The surveys mentioned suggest a Muslim population of around 6%, so what if it was changed to something such as 'most surveys find that around 6% of the population are Muslim' and then mention this higher estimate (which is also uncommon) afterwards?

message: The article mentions that:
"A Muslim Tatar owned supermarket in Tatarstan sold calendars with images of American President Obama depicted as a monkey and initially refused to apologize for selling the calendar.[66][67] They were then forced to issue an apology later.[68]
In Tatarstan a Muslim Tatar staffed ice cream factory produced Obamka (little Obama) ice cream with packaging showing an earring-wearing black child and staff members like director of finance Anatoli Ragimkhanov and Rasil Mustafin, deputy development director defended the sale.[69][70][71]"
What exactly makes these instances relevant enough to be mentioned in the Wikipedia article?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C7:EE82:7701:4032:7D9A:7F5F:272A (talk) 20:38, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
