It was nice to read an article in the New York Times concerning the nation of Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan you say? Yup. I was not aware that this country is home to over 40 religions. Yes, 40 religions that coexist peacefully. With all the violence in the Middle East, Kazakhstan is proof that people can establish an atmosphere of tolerance and understanding of all faiths around the globe.
President Nursultan Nazarbayev was quoted saying: "In the past 15 years, there has not been a single case of a newspaper or television station harassing the followers of any particular faith." Kazakhstan should be the rubric that the rest of the world should follow.

"-stan" means "land," in case you are curious.
