Many Russian Turkic peoples are virtually indistinguishable from Europeans in appearance. “Many” is the key word - they still have internal phenotypic subgroups. Many Turkic peoples are culturally and socially no different from Russians as a result of deep Russification. Likewise, the Islam they practice is a genuinely peaceful and civilized religion, very different from what is often demonstrated by Syrian, Palestinian, and other migrants in European countries - practically two different Islams. From childhood, Russians and Turkic peoples in Russia’s Turkic republics grow up together, which fosters a deep mutual understanding, high tolerance, and zero racism toward each other - to the point where they even celebrate each other’s religious holidays together.
