As a result, the European Islamophobia Report 2018 dis- cusses the impact of anti-Muslim discourse on human rights, multiculturalism, and the 2018 state of law in Europe.

The issue regarding the Crimea’s territorial status had two aspects: the status of the peninsula per se, that is, whether it should form a part of Ukraine or Russia, and the status of the territory within the state, part of which it constituted.

  • The Muslim Community of Ukraine, Institutionalization and Development
    The Muslim community of Ukraine, institutionalization and development PREFACE Yurij Kochubey The Muslim community of Ukraine, institutionalization and development Muslims in Ukraine are known from ancient times. International trade route "from the Vikings to the Greeks" was an important site for acquainting population of the Dnieper region with representatives of the peoples of the Middle East and their religion. Archaeologists sometimes find the treasures of dirhams and other eastern coins in what is now Ukraine. Small groups of Muslims who lived in commercial centers, did not become the victims of violence, though between Ukrainian Cossacks and Muslim Turks on land and at sea in the Middle Ages were frequent skirmishes that had usually material background, not religious. Quite revealing that highly revered Saint Theodosius of Kiev in his "Poucheniyi" says that we should help also "Saracens" who got into trouble. The struggle of Ukrainian people for their freedom associated with friendly and even allied relations of the Cossacks with Muslims Crimean Tatars and the Ottoman Empire. Sufficient is to recall the agreements and treaties of Dmytro Vishnevetsky, Ivan Vyhovsky, Bohdan Khmelnytsky, Petro Doroshenko, Ivan Mazepa or Orlyk. We see that Otherness of religion does not prevent with neighbors from finding common ground if necessary. It should be noted that in the Crimea a prominent scholar Ismail Bey Gasprinsky (1851-1914), who defended the right of Muslim inhabitants to education, creating school, developed his new progressive system of training and tried to distribute it in all the countries of the Muslim world. He was the initiator and one of the active organizers of the World Muslim Congress, which would have taken place in Cairo.
