What do you mean, it’s pretty obvious how it will work.

Never been to ex-Soviet countries where the grandma is the most devout Christian yet wears a shawl? It's actually pretty hard a law to implement.

Not really, it’s only hard to implement if you care about bad PR.


The issue I feel is it asking for Erdogan style/Iran-pre-revolution rural resentment. Classic urban liberal issue of clamping down on backward peasants and being surprised when they don't like it.
There might be a different dynamic at play in Tajikistan. I believe in some Muslim countries peasants are actually more secular than Gulf-influenced urban folks.
