Over 80% of the inhabitants are pedophile Mohammad-worshipping Muslims.  The government is known for its imprisonment of Muslims, Christians and Jews for handing out literature and bibles (http://www.unhcr.org/refworld/pdfid/499ac3923.pdf).  The people living in this God-forsaken place are arrested for not registering to worship.  There are 6000 Uzbek refugees worldwide who leave Uzbekistan because of religious persecution ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8412373.stm).  The oldest Jewish community in Uzbekistan, Bukhara has existed for more than 2,000 years and some claim to be the descendents of the 10 lost tribes of Israel. There were as many as 93,000 Jews living in Uzbekistan at one point.  That has dwindled to an unnumbered remnant due to the mass exodus of those Jews into America and Israel in 1989.
