NO, they go can go to hell

“In Russia live Russians. Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live in Russia, to work and eat in Russia, should speak Russian, and should respect the Russian laws. If they prefer Shari’ya Law, then we advise them to go to those places where that’s the state law. Russia does not need minorities. Minorities need Russia, and we will not grant them special privileges, or try to change our laws to fit their desires, no matter how loud they yell ‘discrimination’. We better learn from the suicides of America, England, Holland and France, if we are to survive as a nation. The Russian customs and traditions are not compatible with the lack of culture or the primitive ways of most minorities. When this honorable legislative body thinks of creating new laws, it should have in mind the national interest first, observing that the minorities are not Russians.” -Putin

Eh... I don't really care. I wouldn't be bothered if people even worshipped Martians.

Sufis don't blow anyone up as far as I know, so I don't much care. I imagine the actual Sufis will get sick of the American dilletantes, though... if they're not just milking them for cash.

If you don't embrace Islam then you are an awful racist and you should be ashamed of yourself. Convert now!!!

F*** Islam, bunch of subhuman scum. They worship a freaking pedophile as their prophet! What else needs to be said? Ever hear of "thighing"? This is one sick death cult...

Yea, and Russian is a shining beacon of success and Putin has made things fantastic for its citizens. Good grief.

The "educated class" has steadily moved towards cultural appreciation but religiously agnostic or atheist stances which is great. I think it'd be great for people of Islamic religious background here and elsewhere move towards secularism with a studied interest devoid of religious devotion to religion.

That is not what is happening with the muslims mentioned in the NY Times article.
