The linked article tries to explain Russia's attitude toward Islam, in contrast with the West's attitude. While overburdened with propagandist terminology, it still provides some interesting historic background: For example, even in this matter, Putin is following the Czars... Nikolai II, a devout Orthodox Christian, oversaw the building of the largest mosque in Europe then in the center of the Russian capital then - St. Petersburg.
