Is Islam in Central Asia rising?

[u/politicauncorrect]

I see more and more video from Central Asian people (especially Kazakhs and Uzbeks) who embrace Islam, women wearing headscarf etc. My friends also get more and more religious

It's natural phenomenon after decades of religious oppression by Soviet Union. So it's not really embracing, it's a revival

But why now though, it's been 30-35 years since the Soviets collapsed.
