The Economist has spoken !
Olhomdullilah !
All it takes is 1 generation of a radical mulla becoming their leader for Azeris to re-Islamize.Yeah well news for you guys . Azeris aren't Islamic . Far from it . They're mostly secular. They'd be Islamists if they were teaming up with Iran . They aren't.
That's one of the primary reasons the Azeri authorities don't get along with the Iranian mullahs in spite of both being of the Shi'a sect .
Fun fact - Ayatollah Khamenei is an Azeri of Iranian origin. There are more Azeris in Iran than there are in Azerbaijan . It's like there are more Pashtuns in Paxtan than there are in Afghanistan.
The Azeri leadership are mostly like the Stans of Central Asia . Secular thanks to decades of not centuries of Russian rule who're deeply suspicious of organised religion which in this case happens to be Islam especially of the mullahs as they rightly perceive them to be a threat to their political power.
This is the reason Azeri politics have prioritised their ethnic origins over religion thus identifying more with Turkey given both are ethnic Turkics over their sect Shi'a because that would give Iran an excuse to lord it over Azerbaijan , which political parties in Azerbaijan are wary about especially the ruling party .
Hence the identification with Turkey , close alliance with the west , partnership with it & Israel to undermine the Iranian rulers for that's exactly what the Iranian mullahs are doing / have been doing to Azerbaijan.
This war with Armenia is two fold - to regain lost territory & with it prestige , Azerbaijan had lost when the USSR broke up when Armenia seized the Nagorno-Karabakh enclave within Azerbaijan , where the Armenians were in a majority in spite of being a lesser power purely because Azerbaijan was in a bigger mess than most constituents of the former USSR after its dissolution & secondly due to geo politics - both , related to oil or rather its transit as well as Armenia ending up in an alliance with the Russians which sort of precludes the west from enacting a colour revolution like it did in Georgia before & now.

Most of the ordinary people there are not overtly religious too just nominal Muslims not the namaazis you see here or else where .

How was it a colour revolution if all the external powers including the EU , the US & Russia welcomed it with no external party finding anything against it ? It was strictly an internal affair .A color revolution already has happened there and Pashniyan was installed, Pashniyan had to escape after the Karabakh debacle but (((magically))) he was back on the chair.
This is why the Russis have dumped Armenia to the Azharbaijani wolves, this is exactly also why they grabbed karabakh because of green signal from Roosi.
Any gora tolerance for Azharbhaijan is only because they need Azeri oil, else Aliyev would also be regime changed by now
Wahabi ? Are you aware > 90% Azeris are Shi'as ?Wrong.
Just watch video from war between Armenia and Azerbaijan then you will come to know how much mulla they are.
The difference is, they do not want to follow Wahabi Islam and want to forward their own indentity like Turkey.
