description Islam in the Caucasus cannot be described in black and white colors as official and non-official, traditional and non-traditional Islam. Islam is now playing a more distinctive role in the social and political life of the republics in the North Caucasus.

The article examines strengthening of Islam on the Caucasus, as well as its globalization, and politization and the rise of jihadism. It analyses complex relations among its many different forms and schools.
