As Canadian poster ju87 remarks in a forum post attached to the quoted article,
"The article is written by Daniel Pipes, a noted neocon who actually believed there were WMDs in Iraq. This is a man who'd do anything to raise an alarm about Islam. So it's most likely the article and the numbers are completely crap."
and:
"Most Muslims in the CIS are quite detached from their religion, I know some personally. This is mostly due to their forced secularization under Soviet rule. They're nowhere near the turban-strapping fanatics you're hoping they would be."
I highly agree with this poster.
Moreover, Russians have trouble with Chechnyan separatists, some of whom have extremist Muslim ties. And, Russia has a large neo-fascist movement, with private army training, and the highest targeted people by them are Muslim minorities from the former republics of the Soviet State, trying to make a living in Russia...
