The focus is made on Muslims’ attitudes to laws of secular post-socialist state as it concerns public morality, systems of religious and secular education, different forms of economic activities, Islamic mode of life. The study allowed distinguishing different types and levels of religious behavioral patterns from “simple believers” to “believers with conviction”.
