Draft:Yakyn Inkar

Yakyn Inkar (Kyrgyz: Йакын Инкар) is a Kyrgyz Islamic extremist group.

History
Yakyn Inkar comes from Arabic "يقين إنكار", meaning "complete disavowal", in which the group emphasises on abandoning all worldly affairs, including Kyrgyz culture and traditions, and solely live for Islam. They advocate for a return to the exact lifestyle of Muhammad. Yakyn Inkar aims to rule Kyrgyzstan with Sharia. Male members of Yakyn Inkar often wear a shalwar kameez, while the females wear burkas. Members of the group have an ascetic and apolitical life, and they are also in a conflict with the Kyrgyz state-appointed Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Kyrgyzstan. Yakyn Inkar is not an Islamic sect and is just a group. The group was banned in Kyrgyzstan in 2017, and in Kazakhstan in 2018.
