Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty Looks at Islam in Central Asia
Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty says, "Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Central Asian republics have seen a revival of Islam. The process kicked off quickly as Islam has always had deep roots in the region and missionaries and funds arrived from other Muslim countries to help rebuild schools and mosques," the U.S.-sponsored propaganda station says on its website.
"Nowadays," Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty added, "most Central Asians consider themselves Muslims. Still, many observers say that there are differences between the identity and religious practices of Muslims in Central Asia and those in other parts of the Islamic world."
Here is the first part of a four-part series on Islam in Central Asia. Here is Part II.
