Robins, Philip. "Religion and Language.'" In "The Middle East and Central Asia." In The New States of Central Asia and their Neighbours, edited by Peter Ferdinand, 61-63. New York: Council on Foreign Relations Press, 1994. 

The relevant pages of this three page section briefly discuss Central Asia's contemporary relationship with the Middle East with regard to Islam.  While Muslims live in both regions, Robins notes differences between the two regions and argues that it is wrong to assume that Central Asia will follow the political path of the Middle East.
