Muslims have long pressed for the opening of more mosques in the Russian capital, something that officials have sometimes supported out of concern that in the absence of official mosques, Muslims will turn to underground ones but a step that the Russian Orthodox Church and many ethnic Russians oppose as a threat to the historical image of the city. ocal newspaper, "Yugo-vostochny kur'er" reported that Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov had formally taken a decision to offer Muslims space for "the construction of a mosque and Sunday school" in that Moscow district, a step he took without consulting the local population.
