It's sad that our ulama are not out in front on this issue about Islam Karimov and quite a few other rulers in Asia. This Communists hypocrite rulers were trained and adhered to Soviet style communism. They hid their kufr when their false gods collapsed. But they rule the same way, propping up statues of themselves everywhere, promoting their kufr interpretations, repressing the masajid of Allah. Islam Karimov in particular should be declared illegitimate, or a kafir. He killed nearly 1000 men, women, children Andijan in 2005 simply for protesting him. There are likely mass graves in Andijan that will be dug up to reveal his evil once he is overthrown, insha Allah. But ulama are silent on him as they were on Bashar for years. Boiling men to death, outlawing Islam, murdering women and children, is all okay for Uzbekistan? Naqshbandi 'alim' joining with Islam Karimov
