| Résumé: | The history of Central Asia prior to and during the process Islamization both provides a potential grounding for the concept of covenantal pluralism in the region and presents challenges to its fruition.

Non-Muslim religious minorities could expect protection, but limitations under Abbasid rule; heterodox Muslims were seen as security threats. The modern republics of Central Asia have extended state control over Islam, continue to privilege it, and use security as a justification to persecute Muslim groups outside of their control in addition to some Protestant sects. |
