BISHKEK: These two students of the medicine faculty were practicing parkour in the center of Bishkek. They got into the street sport while in grammar school when they randomly came across a youtube video.
I asked the student on the left with the headphones what music he was listening to. He said he was listening to some religious texts. When I asked about the shirts, they said they were proud of being Muslim.
”Many in Europe and other countries associate Islam with terrorism, but that is wrong,” said Shamil, the young man on the right.
Shamil wants to become a veterinarian while his friend wants to become a surgeon.
