This article analyses the changing policy content in dealing with re- ligious topics in the cyberspace using an example of Kazakhstan.

Second, it assesses the policy responses of the government and official Muslim es- tablishment in Kazakhstan as they have lately begun developing their very own digital activities by creating websites such as http://www.din.gov.kz/, www.azan.kz, www.e-islam.kz and some others. Third, it summarizes the finding of the research and discusses some policy implications.
