Russia, it is not easy to imagine, Islam will shine in a country that was once the qibla of communism of this world. Russia is the largest country in the world, with an area reaching 11.5 percent of the world's territory. The constellation of history and the politics of the world has shaped the dynamics of this country. This multiethnic country has more than 150 tribes who are adherents of traditional religions. A total of 57 tribes are Muslims. The majority of Russian Muslims live in the Volga-Ural and North Caucasus regions. Significant population numbers are also present in a number of major cities, such as Moscow and St Petersburg.
Alexei in Islam in Russia in 2020, added that Islamic society in Russia is divided into two major groups. The first group is around the Volga-Ural, Western Siberia, and Moscow. Meanwhile, the second group is in the North Caucasus. The largest ethnic Muslim in Russia comes from the Tatar tribe (7 million), Bashkirs (1.5 million), and the Chechen (1 million).

Good, I like to hear this news
I think France Moslem is more than Russia.. We could see at football player who join in France National Team like Zidane, Henry, Benzema, Nasri, Riberi, Anelka, sagna, Thuram, Mohammadou Diara and Lassana Diara. I Have a lot of moslem friends also in France who ever told me about Islam, so I Think France is The largest Islamic Religion in Europa
There are more Muslims in USA than in Russia before or after WTC Tragedy. Before WTC, there are many people converted to Islam caused it's peace but after WTC many people could look at Islam as non-terrorism religion.
Interesting article....
