BACKGROUND AND COUNTERMEASURES TO DESTRUCTIVE CURRENTS IN CENTRAL ASIA

Abstract

The prevention of religious extremism and destructive religious movements, as well as the rehabilitation of victims of non-traditional religions occupies a central place in the issue of state regulation of religious relations.

At the same time, it should be noted that the term "destructive religious movements / organizations / movements" is widely used to describe religious movements, movements that have a certain negative impact on the state as a whole structure, and personality, which is also related to such terms as "destructive cult" and "totalitarian sect". In foreign, primarily American, literature, this phenomenon is correlated with the concept of "destructive cults".
