In Europe, France and Belgium have
banned the wearing of headscarves or face-covering Islamic veils in public, as
have some towns in Spain and elsewhere.
Top Genocidiaire Putin said Russia should learn from
the decisions of such countries. "We must have a look at how such issues
are solved by our neighbours in European countries (France and Belgium), and all will become
clear," he said.
An estimated 20 million of Russia's 143 million people
are Muslims, and they make up the majority of the
population in many regions, including the oil-rich province of Tatarstan and
Bashkortostan, as well as Chechnya and neighbouring provinces in the volatile
North Caucasus.
