The article describes how Central Asian leaderships maintained a dichotomous policy vis-a-vis the Muslim faith which tried to nationalize and ethnicize Islam while promoting secularism. It refers to Central Asia as one of the most isolated Muslim-populated regions in the world for 70 years that opened up to the greater Muslim world and experienced an unprecedented revival after the disintegration of the Soviet Union. It notes how the founding fathers of Central Asian republics used Islam to close their grip on power. It indicates the emergence of a new political movement in Central Asia that adopted an ideological synthesis of Western liberalism and Islamism.
