FROM THE SICKLE TO THE CRESCENT ISN'T SO HARD:
Russia sees Muslim population boom (Jonah Hull, 1/13/07, Aljazeera)
Low domestic birth rates and rising immigration from the former Soviet republics have produced an explosive growth in Russia's Muslim community. [...]
There are around 25 million Muslims in Russia today, a rise of 40 per cent since 1989.
By 2020, with the continued growth rate, Muslims will account for one-fifth of the entire population.

By 2020, the average life expectancy for a Russian male may be down to 53 or 54 years. Surely the Muslims will be much higher.
