You haven't heard or read about the Sufi Muslims, I take it.
I lived and worked around Sufi Muslims when I was deployed to Uzbekistan in 2003-04. The Uzbeks live a different form of Islam. True, Islam and every other religion was under the Soviet heel for seventy years. But Uzbeks were quick to remind me, "we're not like those people down south (the Afghans)". Lovely young Uzbek women, dressed very western, replied to my question about Islamic dress codes with "we carry Islam in our hearts". And my jaw dropped when I saw two Uzbek schoolteachers (interpreters who taught Russian on the side) on their way to the chapel tent one Sunday morning! Their response was very Sufi-like: "we study other religions and traditions".
On a trip to Samarkand I pointed out an obvious mosque and asked our guide if he worshipped as a Muslim. He responded, "I don't believe in that @#$@ anymore!"
I have kept in touch with the schoolteachers. They remind me that Jews and Christians have lived in Uzbekistan for thousands of years. They credit Sufi tolerance for this. I know the situation there is far from perfect, politically and economically, but it was good to stay a time in a Muslim, not Islamic country, where one need not fear being a non-Muslim.
