Does putin respect muslims or does he act like that because russia has a muslim minority?

I think Putin acts like the way he does because Iran is one of his biggest partners. So if he did something that damages muslims and makes him look like being against Muslims they would break off the partnership and isolate Russia.
Putin is probably an atheist he was educated in an atheististic Soviet Union.

Isn't he orthodox

[Lionman95]

No he´s supporting the Russian Orthodox Church but only as long as the Church helps his case.

[Soteris]

No. He just loves the fact that there is something to distract people from his failed war against Ukraine.

[jahaims]

No he has publicly made islamophobic comments. He has done things to help Muslims but that is because of obvious political motivations.

[slatyb]

Putin respects no one.
