[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5745036, member: 24302"] If you were familiar you'd know that the communists were really harsh on religion to the point it was almost stamped out. Thus most people in the former Soviet Union are either nominally Christian or Muslim depending on the country or region within the country. There are definitely practicing Muslims in those countries. And there are people who wear Western clothes, including the women. Women in pants who don't wear head coverings. Do you think they're doing that because they're hoping to get one over on some unsuspecting Westerner who is traveling through? Meanwhile over in Iran a young woman recently was beaten to death by the morality police because she was out in public without a head covering. People told me that they're Muslim because their great grandparents were. But that they don't practice. Was told that by a handful of people. [/QUOTE]
