There are, however, ‘tiny’ differences between now and then. The kind of Christianity that is being propagated in Central Asia by Western and South Korean sects nowadays is even not remotely that of the historical Nestorian and other Syriac churches that used to exist in the region.

What we have today are well-funded, orchestrated sects that are connected to the neocon establishment in the US, in stark contrast to the Nestorian and other Syriac churches who often fled to Central Asia to escape persecution *by fellow Christians* in the Roman/Byzantine empire.

As such, the sects are part of a wider geopolitical agenda and that is not one of ‘diversity’, ‘tolerance’ and ‘faith freedom’ but about turning the Central Asians into obedient drones in what is a war between the West (the oppressors) and its local compradores, and Islam (the anti-imperialist resistance).

So, i it a case of Central Asians “converting” to Christianity, or of them “returning” to one of the religions of their ancestors?

Oops. Take the global destruction of nature out of bestial greed and the coming backlash that it will have. There mankind will realize what its limits are.

Islam indeed means submission… to God.

Don’t try to impress me that today there is science and so on. Islam and science are compatible as they were during the times of the great Islamic civilizations.

Mankind can achieve a lot but at a certian moment it can not explain and grasp the fundaments of being. Also, mankind and history are basically the theatre of a constant war between the good and evil in which man’s achievements are instrumentalized. Take teh desturction of nature

It does not means social submission. Many rotten practices that are often associated with Islam are not Islamic but tribal, tradionalist and feudal. That is why we have to de-tribalise Islam and go forward to the fundaments of the faith as they were laid down by the Prophet (s.a.a.w) and his companions.

In this respect there is one point where I agree with you and that is that traditionalist imams and gaga village elders get sidelined more and more because they are not part of the dynamics within Islam any more.

“Young people in Central Asia today need to be wary of those who drape themselves in a cloak of nationalism or Islamic purity. They may be wolves in sheeps clothing who only desire power.”

We can say exactly the same about those who preach ‘liberalism’ or at least pay lip service to it for the sake of getting USAID and EU grants. Again: all they’re out for is to turn the Central Asian youth into moronic parodies of Westerners, prostitutes and drug addicts for the sake of controling and humiliate them.
