Putin isn’t resisting globalism—he’s replacing it with state-backed Islamization, trading the hammer and sickle for the crescent and enforcing Sharia not just through law, but through fear, exile, and violent loyalty.

In March 2025, tens of thousands of Muslims flooded Moscow’s streets for Eid al-Fitr prayers... It was a state-enabled spectacle of Islamic dominance in Russia’s capital—a country once considered the stronghold of Orthodox Christianity. The government not only permitted the display but also provided infrastructure and protection.

This marks a symbolic shift in Russia’s identity... Under Vladimir Putin, the lines between religious appeasement and state submission to Islamic norms are beginning to blur...

What many in the West still don’t realize is that Putin has criminalized Quran desecration. Burning or disrespecting the Quran is no longer just socially condemned in Russia, it is legally punishable. But here’s where it becomes something much darker: those convicted aren’t simply jailed.

They are forcibly relocated to Muslim-majority regions like Chechnya or Dagestan to serve their sentences...

In 2023, Putin’s administration formally launched a pilot program for Islamic banking in four Russian republics: Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, Chechnya, and Dagestan. This system operates alongside Russia’s conventional economy but follows Sharia financial principles:

  • No interest-based lending
  • Risk-sharing instead of loans
  • Bans on financing industries deemed “haram” (forbidden), like alcohol or pork...

To be clear: this is the formal integration of Islamic religious law, Sharia, into national financial systems. These regions now operate a parallel Islamic economy that openly rejects Western financial principles...

Putin has openly aligned with Pakistan and other member states of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), a global Islamic bloc that pushes for Sharia blasphemy laws and the censorship of any speech critical of Islam throughout the world...

The West Needs to Wake Up

Putin isn’t fighting globalism; he’s just replacing it with another form of totalitarianism: Islam...

If Russia can fall to soft Sharia, no Western nation is immune.
