With increasing alarm, they have been watching more and more young men attend mosques — and fewer and fewer of them sit around squares and restaurants sipping beer.
In an apparent bid to cut the growth of radicalism at its source, the government has decided to publish a collection of 52 sermons that must be preached during Friday prayers under threat of sanctions.

“These 52 Friday sermons cover all aspects of a Muslim’s life,” said the committee’s deputy head Mavlon Mukhtorov.
“These are ready-made recipes” on how to lead a proper life, the official said.
“It is quite enough to follow the book and avoid wasting your time choosing a weekly prayer. Imams should no longer enjoy the independence and liberalism they once did.”

wow, they have invented a replacement of Quran and Sunnah (astaghfirllah) which covers all aspects of a muslim’s life and is quite enough to follow! and they call attending prayer in masjid and not sipping beer “radicalism”. this is nothing but a desperate attempt to keep people away from deen, and its only going to “serve” islam actually, only going to derive and motivate more people towards islam… INSHA ALLAH.
