Muslims are 15% of Russia's population
This is according to al-Beeb. This compares to the US number of 3m people or about 1% of the population. This is perhaps why Chechens have little problem getting logistical support throughout Russia.The Muslims of Russia number about 20 million, or 15% of the population. Perhaps four to five million of these are practising Muslims, although their higher birth-rate and increasing cultural and religious self-confidence mean that Muslims are likely to increase both in absolute numbers and in their proportion of the population.
