[h=1]Tajikistan Mosque Ban Seeks To Curb Islam's Influence[/h]

DUSHANBE, Tajikistan — Tajikistan's authoritarian leader has approved a law barring minors from praying in mosques as his secular government seeks to minimize the rising influence of Islam in the Central Asian nation.
President Emomali Rakhmon signed the bill Wednesday despite vocal resistance from rights activists and the opposition Islamic Revival Party.
The law also requires people under the age of 18 to study in secular schools thus barring thousands of students from attending mosque schools seen by authorities as a breeding ground of Islamism.
The impoverished and predominantly Sunni Muslim nation shares a long and porous border with Afghanistan.
The country was ravaged in the 1990s by a civil war between government forces and a loose alliance of Islamists and democrats.

Sob7an Allah how heart breaking.. but what are they afraid of? Allah motim noorih insha'Allah..

That is really sad. Teaching the young about Islam is really important especially from a young age as its vital in helping them to develop their character. Inshallah Allah will guide and help those being restricted from their worship.

I don't understand this. If it is a majority Islamic country, why is their own leadership banning the people from practicing Islam? What are they so afraid of?

amazing how these "secular" "authorities" first allowed decadence and the sale prostitution on tape by saying adults only - until it seeped into children's mobile phones at school, now they are saying purity is for adults only - simply amazing.

(We also sent) Lut (as a messenger): behold, He said to his people, "Do ye do what is shameful though ye see (its iniquity)?
Would ye really approach men in your lusts rather than women? Nay, ye are a people (grossly) ignorant!
But his people gave no other answer but this: they said, "Drive out the followers of Lut from your city:
these are indeed men who want to be clean and pure!" ^o)
Quran 27:54-56

cleanliness and purity became a crime for these degenerate leaders to the extent that they were afraid it would spread to the rest of the community!

From what I have seen of real practicing Islamists, the world would be a better place with more of them.

What's disturbing is not that this is done by Tajikistan, but that the majority of talkbackers seem to approve of and agree with this policy. And this is Huffington Post, which I thought was being read by liberal and tolerant people.

Maybe it's time to start stocking up on armaments and get hold of the Anarchist's Cookbook... :hmm:

I never read people's comments.. they're irrelevant in every which way .. as one wise man once said ''what people think of me is none of my business''
I am only disturbed when banning and bashing Islam becomes the law!

Since a great deal of those talkbackers probably have the right to vote somewhere, it might actually happen.

I'm reading up on survival skills. My plan is to hole up in the woods when the apocalypse happens. Nobody else will be up there.

:heated: Err... oh wait. I mean, I'll be in town with everyone else. Yeah, that's where I'll be. :nervous:

They're fighting God not people.. just look at what happened to the Navy seals going to kill more Afghans during the holy month.. may Allah swt increase their losses and make us ever triumphant insha'Allah

Yeah, apparently they have learned nothing from the Arab Spring.
