[edit] Religions

So, Uzbekistan is an ex-SSR, yet people with religious affiliations make up more than 95% of the country? Does the "88%" Sunni figure come from an assumption that all the country's Turkic people are Muslims? Also, can anyone tell me when the Korean population arrived?Picaroon9288 00:42, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Actually, there are many non-adherents people in Uzbekistan, but officially they're considered as moslems (if you're Uzbek, you're considered as moslem - that's the problem). And Korean population came in period of WW2.--Abdullais4u 10:58, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tajik population

There is a large difference between a 5% Tajik population and a 30% one. Can this issue be expanded upon? john k 19:08, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

There are Uyghurs living in Uzbekistan. They should be listed in the census. Sonic99 00:25, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
