Extremality of Islamic consciousness in the context of secular society and state interests
Liberal democratic reforms result in the fact that in post-Soviet Russia, unlike Soviet period in its history, many trajectories for personality socialization have appeared. These trajectories, developing on the basis of pluralism of ideologies, often strongly contradict each other; cause conflicts both inside the society and between the society and the state as well. In this respect interrelations between religious (Islamic) secular socialization in North Caucuses are the most conflict. Based on the analysis of spiritual leaders' activity, data of sociological surveys and analytical articles in Dagestan mass-media the author has came to the conclusion about the weakening of the role of secular norms in regulation of citizens' social behavior in the regions with dominating Muslim population. Moreover, latent processes in formation of extremist behavior in a certain part of believers, especially youth, can be traced. Analyzing situation, the author considers necessary to use notion “extremality of consciousness” that makes it possible to speak about phenomena that take place within the law but constitute potential danger to secular state stability.
