Turkey and China go head to head and fight it out for dominance of Central Asia

[Ultima Thule]

That one simple action made Erdogan a hero throughout the Muslim world. You guys are way underestimating the power of religion and history in the Islamic world, of which Turkey is a major part, being the last major Islamic power to fall after WW1.

Can Uzbekistan's new leader reform the country?

If the Uzbek president wants genuine reform of religious freedoms in the country, he faces a steep uphill battle.

In recent years, Uzbek President Shevkat Mirziyoyev has made headlines for shifting the country’s foreign policy and introducing several social and economic reforms, ending 27 years of closed rule by Islam Karimov.

Branding himself a “reformer”, Mirziyoyev visited every Central Asian capital in the first year of his presidency, settled a decades-old border dispute with neighbouring Kyrgyzstan and continued his multi-pronged policy, in which Tashkent adopted a non-committal adaptive foreign policy and tried to balance relations with the US, Russia and China.

...

Later, the government removed 95 per cent of individuals registered as “religious radicals”. Beyond steps to encourage public expressions of religion, the new president announced the creation of several institutions aiming at promoting old Islamic values and traditions.

The recent opening of new cultural centres exemplifies the strategy. This includes an Islamic Academy of Uzbekistan, as well as an Islamic Culture Center designed to “fight religious ignorance and promote Islam’s true values”. Mirziyoyev announced the creation of the Imam Bukhari International Scientific Research Center based in Samarkand to study the Golden Age and promote “Enlightened Islam”.

It is essential to highlight that gaining Islamic legitimacy is intimately tied to domestic security and control over the public sphere. Within the region, he has been actively prioritising the country’s distinctive tradition of “moderate” Hanafi Islam, by fully embracing the Great Age of Enlightenment.

More recently he promoted the construction of small roadside mosques and encouraged competitions for Quranic recitation. By pushing a distinctive “brand” of Islam as a part of the cultural diplomacy that accompanies the government's broader international efforts, cities such as Bukhara and Samarkand seeing their soft-power capital rise.

Azerbaycan is a Shia country, but allied to Turkey, not Iran.

It is not always clearcut.

The leader of the Sunni Islamic world is Turkey. It has been this way since the last Khalifah.

KSA was never fully accepted by majority Sunni Muslims due to their destruction of holy sites in Hijaz and the backstabbing of the Ottomans.

None of the countries you listed have independent policies, they are dictated to by the US, and Iran has its own sphere.

Turkey has allies across the Muslim world in Europe, North Africa, Arab world, Central Asia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Southeast Asia.

Turkey also has fairly good ties with several European countries like Italy and Spain.

How Istanbul won back its crown as heart of the Muslim world

“Turkey is increasingly looking eastward, away from its Nato partners, to its old sphere of influence during the Ottoman Empire,” said Mohanad Hage Ali, a fellow at the Carnegie Middle East Center. “Its cultural influence can be seen all over the Middle East today: there are new Arabic translations of Turkish poets, and novels about the city coming out in Arabic. Over the last two decades we’ve seen a strong cultural bridge form.”
