Kazakhstan continues to develop sectarianism

In Astana, various religious organizations to successfully find a loophole in the law on religion, adopted a year ago. Then the Agency for Religious Affairs threatened to weed out over half doubtful of churches, mosques and houses of worship - that's about 4, 5 thousand. But sectarianism continues to gain momentum.


Religious organizations are refusing to hand over documents to control, look for loopholes in the law, or even go to the Internet. For example people in the district center of Astana with a heavy heart looking at a former kindergarten "Goldfish". Who works there charitable mission of "Grace", infamous after several criminal cases against their leaders. Despite the dubious past and prospects for mandatory re-registration they are not going to close.

Is not evil, and of the religious association Aisha Orazbai. Donations of people is enough to build a mosque, and its territory would be the envy of any entrepreneur mediocre. By Aisha Orazbai, it is not going to register with the agency, because it is subject only to SMMC.

Other religious organizations have found a loophole in the law on religion. Threshold for the establishment of a religious public association - 50 people to register the local union, 500 people - for regional and 5000 - for a national association. Thus, the small republican associations may simply be a regional, local, or register as an NGO.
