[edit] First comments

A highly worthy topic! I made some touch-ups but needs more, of course. We also need to try to avoid the duplication, or at least to make it reasonable, with other articles. We don't need to try to retell the general history of Crimea or of the Crimean Tatars in few words. We should consentrate on how this affected the religious life, first of all. I will make announcements at the Ukraine-related notice board. Regards, --Irpen 22:09, August 10, 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, but estimates of 4% of Muslims in Ukraine are ridicoulisly high. That would be about 1,900,000 Muslims on a total popultion of 48 milion. Totally inaccurate and biased. Even after 15 years of repatriation of Crimean Tars, most estimates put that number under 300.000. Show twio credible links to the 2 milion claim or I'll ask to remove tr misleading figures. Wikipedia should be a FACTUAL free Encyclopedia, you cannot just guess a figure.

Not only Tatars are Muslims. --Roksanna 10:52, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak Oppose The article appears to be more about the Muslim community in Ukraine, rather than the practice of Islam in Ukraine (as the new name would suggest). --Húsönd 17:15, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Strange numbers for the number of muslims in Ukraine

4% or 2 million of muslims in Ukraine is such a strange number, so it should be confirmed by independent survey, not by the claims of muslim organisation. The reason for this is obvious: religious\ethnic organisations which have finance source from some international organisaton\other country often increase the estimates of the number of "followers" in order to recieve more funding. The similar situation is with jewish organisations, who show higher percentage of Jews in Ukrainian population, than the survey would show, to get more money from abroad. --redSUNRISING 21:29, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
