The Middle Eastern future of the Central Asia

TL;DR - the Central Asia is on a course of becoming Middle East 2.0 - in all the worst aspects.

Reasons: con-artists pretending to be pure religious leaders offer the young and the poor (often both young and poor) people an alternative to the society they live in, where the social elevation is reserved exclusively for the nepo-babies from the rich clans.

It won't end after only one religious revolution though - when it comes to the zealots, the battle is never truly over. New religious leaders will arise, and declare the old ones "corrupted". The purity spirals will turn the relatively poor but stable enough countries of the Central Asia in whatever is left today from Iraq, Syria, and Libya. Which means more immigration to the EU and the USA. China won't take them. India too. Where else can they go?

This problem can be solved by giving the youth a chance to have decent lives. But there is a "boomer" problem in the Central Asia too.
