Rakhimov, Allamurad. "Central Asia: Regional Leaders Try to Control Islam (Part 2)." Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty, August 5, 2005, By Country / Kazakhstan section, http://www.rferl.org/content/article/1060449.html.

 
As the title implies, state control of Islam in post-Soviet Central Asia is the topic of this article.  It mostly covers Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, but does give a brief paragraph to Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Kazakhstan.  As President Niyazov has died, the article is out of date.  Further, it is not comprehensive and only discusses some of the issues. Here are links to the other parts of this series: Part 1, Part 3, Part 4.  Descriptors: 2000s, e-news, journalism, post-Soviet, R, state control.
