Uzbekistan is hardly an “Islamic Republic”. It would be more accurate to call it a communist country since it is much closer to its Soviet roots than to its Islamic roots.

In fact there is a struggle for influence between Russia and Saudis, pretty much the same as it is in Syria.

Russians are clearly on top right now, so there are no beheadings yet.
