An Analysis on Kazakhstan's multi-cultural coexistence policy: Focusing on the demographic sociology to the multi-religious phenomenon

This study analyzes that how the Kazakhstan government uses Islam in order to justify their moral values and social ethics through multi-cultural coexistence policy by applying the legitimate rule. It also explores the implication of multi-religious phenomenon and the characteristics of the socio-psychological mechanism in the country. Islam is considered as a key element shaping cultural identity, mediating social life, being a part of personal and ethnical identity, and finally strengthening regional solidarity in Kazakhstan traditionally. However, extreme Islam fundamentalist pose some threats to the regime. The regime has fear of what if Islam is out of control. They apply a double standard by dividing and destroying Islamic identity as a source of solidarity and unification among whole Muslims. Anyhow, today Kazakhstan is going through fragmentation by ethnicity, religion and culture. Parliament establish more restrictive procedures for registering religious organizations to prohibit smaller groups from preaching outside of the group, producing religious literature, or maintaining worship facilities open to the public. However, the Government continued to express publicly its support for religious tolerance and diversity. Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, shamanism, ranging from ethnic and political, in the form of a new nationalism of the Kazakh Republic since independence developed in Kazakhstan in the field of religion, culture, and society of the population should be done with the statistical analysis.
