00 (SOVIET UNION SOVIET UNION Area Detall of TURKEY Aral Sea IRAQ Tashkent UZBEKISTAN IRAN Persian AFGHANISTAN CHINA 500 miles Yarrington Associated Press graphic AREA OF UPHEAVAL What is now Soviet Central Asia accepted Islam in the first century after Mohammed. and was a crossroads for Mongols, Turks, Persians and Slavs until it was absorbed in Czarist Russia's drive south in the 19th century. Changes and impacts Continued from Page B-6 and Tadzhikistan, which occupy an area half the size of the continental United States. The number of students in Islamic academies is being doubled and the number of Korans and other religious books being published will be greatly increased. The Kremlin is removing a Stalinera ban on group religious education and plans to allow believers to organize charities.
But radicals predict the increased attention to religious needs will lead more people to embrace Islamic fundamentalism. "We need to raise the people up," said one Moslem radical who favors establishment of an Iranian-style Islamic! republic. "It won't be in two, three, or four years. It has to be done very quietly." He spoke on condition of anonymity. The stakes are considerable.
The population of the five Central Asian republics is booming. From 1970 to 1987, it increased 26 percent to 47.5 million and now makes up about 18 percent of the Soviet population. At the center of much of the region's activity is Uzbekistan and its capital, Tashkent. The historic cities of Bukhara and Samarkand along the Silk Route are centers of religious culture. What is now Soviet Central Asia accepted Islam in the first century after Mohammed and was a cross- roads for Mongols, Turks, Per- sians and Slavs until it was absorbed in Czarist Russia's drive south in the 19th century.
Although officially atheist, the Soviet Union nevertheless has maintained relations with Iran, and Foreign Minister Eduard 7 Shevardnadze held a rare meeting with the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini last winter. The Soviet Union has supported Arab causes in the Middle East diplomatically and militarily for more than two decades, but now is trying to improve relations with Israel in order to play a bigger role in any Middle East peace settlement. Mamayusupov, rector of the Higher Islamic Institute in Tashkent, owes his selection in part to the resurgence of religious feelings. In early February, Mufti Shamsuddinkhan Babakhan was ousted by a series of protests in which radicals accused him of corruption and lacking sufficient religious knowledge: A council of religious leaders elected Mamayusupov to replace him. Six weeks after ousting Babakhan, believers were demonstrating again.
But this time they were praising God for the return of a 7th-century Koran, a gift from the Uzbekistan government. The new openness also has sparked protests of a more political or ethnic character. On April 9, Tashkent sources said, several thousand people rallied to support Belik, an informal V1 political group seeking to establish Uzbek language as and the calling republic's for official drastic measures to improve the environment. Belik means "unity" in the Uzbek language. In Central Asia, as in the Baltic republics and.
Armenia, the environment has become a rallying point that has opened up broader issues such as economic reform and demands for more local control. Gafkha Namatova, a Belik spokeswoman, said the group claims 100,000 members. It supports Gorbachev's reforms, she said, but "we see a lot that we like" in the programs of the People's Front grassroots organizations that have sprung up in the Baltics and elsewhere.
