The cases of Türkiye and Uzbekistan are different because Uzbekistan has embraced Sufism in its governance. Recently there has been a renewed interest in Sufism which had not been present in the country for some time. There have been some political analysts who have called Sufism a moderate alternative, and this has reignited interest in Sufism. The active participation of Sufism would be against the secularism that Turkey established at the beginning of the nation. Younger generations do not have the same opinion as older generations, and over time secularism may disappear or fade. Even then, older generations have increasingly weak opposition to Sufism because “Sufi leaders say that tolerance of more heterodox sects has also extended to the ruling Justice and Development Party [AKP].” In time, Sufism may push for less secularism, but for now this will have to gain ground. Fethullah Gullen Hizmah, leader of the Gülen movement, proposes an “integrated approach to life that allows Turks to preserve what is best and still valuable from the past and to accept and use scientific and technological advances,” which will be similar to the African nation of Senegal. A movement like this would change Turkey and redefine the roles of its current citizens
