"Islam is a very difficult line of work," said the KGB
agent in a 1990s comedy. Strangely, these words from
an already forgotten Russian film turned out to be almost prophetic for Islam throughout the post-Soviet
space. It is no secret that Muslims are perceived to be
somewhat different to followers of other religions: the
attitude towards them is much more suspicious and
this is a trend that has been around for many years.
More liberal Muslims will argue that all this is the result of false stereotypes and biases: "Islam is not like
that", "Islam means salam, which is peace". Those
more radical will quote the Koranic "And never will the
Jews or the Christians approve of you until you follow
their religion" (Qur'an 2:120). Regardless of who is
right, a woman in a hijab (or especially in a niqab) will
be perceived differently to how she would be without
this garment, while a bearded man with an "eastern
accent" will be looked at differently to any typical European.
