BISHKEK -- Kyrgyz religious authorities have refused to re-register the Ahmadiyya Muslim community, RFE/RL's Kyrgyz Service reported yesterday.
According to RFE/RL report, Mr. Sagynbek Toktorbaev, a representative of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community in Kyrgyzstan said on December 29 that the government's State Commission on Religious Affairs rejected their re-registration.
He said the commission's decision violates the rights of the some 1,000 members of the Kyrgyz chapter of the Ahmadiyya community, an Islamic revivalist movement founded in India in the late 1800s by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad.
Yusub Baltabaev, an official with the State Commission on Religious Affairs, told RFE/RL that the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Kyrgyzstan (SAMK) proposed that the activities of Ahmadiyya in Kyrgyzstan be suspended because of its alleged "threat to religious security" in the country.
Zhorobay Shergaziev, an SAMK official, told RFE/RL that the Ahmadiyya Muslim community is controversial because it does not comply with their version of Islamic Shari'a.
The activity of the Ahmadiyya community, which has its main office in London, was first registered in Kyrgyzstan in 2002.
Ahmadiyya representatives translated the Koran into Kyrgyz and published 3,000 copies of their interpretation, which was not approved by the official Kyrgyz Muslim clergy.
