ЧТО НОВОГО? /WHAT’S NEW?/Radical Islam Challenges Central Asian Leaders - 22 September 2010.TURSUNZODA, Tajikistan — Shoira Shatmanova says her 21-year-old son is embarrassed to be seen in public with her because she doesn't wear an Islamic headscarf. Born and raised when Tajikistan was part of the Soviet Union, she feels increasingly like an outsider in her own land. Her fear, like that of many in Tajikistan, is that a more radical interpretation of Islam in the Central Asian republic of 7.5 million people could prove fertile ground for homegrown militants filtering back across the border from Afghanistan. "I'm not in any way opposed to women wearing the hijab," said Shatmanova, a 53-year-old nurse. "I will only oppose it when these women and their husbands are against people like me — and this is already happening." Chronic poverty and a Soviet-style crackdown on religion are furthering the growth of radical Islam in parts of Central Asia. (continued) Vocabulary
