“…However, several studies have questioned these assumptions by demonstrating that militant ideology may also draw local Islamic traditions. For example, in his study of Russian language jihadism, Danil Garaev (2017) notes that its appeal lies not so much in jihadism's international rhetoric and ideas, but its creative use of Russian and Soviet intellectual tradition. While Salafism is often attributed to foreign radicalism in Russia, Alfrid Bustanov demonstrates how Tatar activists subscribe to Salafism while at the same time referring to local Tatar traditions in order to claim legitimacy of their version of the religion.…”

Transnational Islam is increasingly presented in the Russian political rhetoric as a security threat. Therefore, Russian politicians and authorities attempt to support indigenous or national forms of Islam. Similar policies are implemented in several western European countries. Yet they tend to disregard the heterogeneity of the Muslim community, they create exclusions and they are often conceived as imposing outside evaluations and interpretations on Islam. This contribution analyses initiatives intended to develop a national Islam in post-Soviet Russia. While the aims, methods and problems in different countries are often quite similar, the values and norms underlying these initiatives vary and reflect the societies from which they emerge. This contribution argues that since the 1990s, the changes in the political line of the Kremlin have impacted the project for a 'national' Islam by placing less emphasis on liberal values and more emphasis on adherence to loyalism and political conservatism.
