AdamG is now an avid watcher of matters Tatar / Tatarstan, but other posts existed and have now been merged here. Post No.1 was copied from another thread. Thread re-named (ends).


With the North Caucasus already a bastion of Islamist insurgency, Tatarstan is a place to watch. There is the potential of an Islamic flavored nationalism or even Islamism to develop. There are two million Tatars most of whom are Sunni Muslims; and as a Turkic people could follow the increasing ranks of Turks / Turkic people becoming Jihadi’s.
