Do you agree with Russia's way of dealing with their muslim citizens,should the UK invest as well?

the country’s leaders are trying a new approach. The idea is to cultivate a different, more docile strain of Islam among Russia’s estimated 20 million professed Muslims. To that end, the Kremlin is spending $300 million to open seven new Islamic universities in Russia and sponsoring hundreds of students to pursue advanced degrees in approved universities in Syria and Saudi Arabia. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has moved to boost the authority of accredited imams, affirming that they have “a special place” in Caucasian society and calling on them to help the Kremlin “confront terror through spirituality and high ethical standards.” At the same time, the military is continuing its efforts to hunt down and kill rebels and radicals in the Caucasus.
