Extremism has nothing to do with religion: conference in Atyrau

Participants of the conference tabled tasks in the religious sphere set by President Nazarbayev in his recent state-of-the-nation address. Those present noted 'faith in God has nothing to do with religious extremism.'

Extremism and terrorism in Kazakhstan come from the criminal world; astigmatic fanaticism is alien to psychology and mentality of the Kazakh people.

"We have a lot of problems to cope with in the field of religion, this is a fact. And we need to join our efforts to eradicate those problems," Governor of the region Baktykozha Izmukhambetov told the conference.
