A Bill In Tajikistan To Block The Activities Of Religious Minorities

Now this is curious, why would Tajikistan put in such a draconian bill to control religious activities? I think this is a wrong step, too much repression in religion never works, it needs to be gently guided, and any wild, foamy and violent extremists firmly held down and bathed till they become nice and quiet. I suspect this is an over-reaction. I got this news from a Turkish newspaper and obviously they have old links to this country. Bears keeping an eye out on them! Central Asia is a very very sensitive area indeed. I wonder what the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (the local neighbourhood watch organisation) will say or do about this?
