Re: Armenia and Byzantium
This isn't the topic of the thread, which was supposed to Armenia/Byzantium and then somehow derailed into Turkish hygeneic practices. Even if you think the ancient Hebrews weren't Semitic and were in fact Armenian-related (something I think is not quite true, although Abraham did originate from southeastern Mesopotamia), there can be no denying that the Hebrews who wrote the text of the Old Testament were culturally Semitic and the Hebrew language is of course Semitic. These people had pretty strict rules on hygeine, as did the ancient Indus and Nile civilizations. The fact that the Turks of the present day have awful hygeinic practices may have more to do with Islam. Ironically, Islam demands "washing" of the bottom, but if this is done in a minimalist ceremonial way (such as wiping with a thin wet piece of paper and then not washing the hands), this is much dirtier than more civilized people who's religion may not make such "cleanliness" demands but who are much more thorough due to questions of health and frank disgust.
As for xxxs for Jesus - I am not one of them. xxxs for Jesus are former xxxs who converted to Christianity. And yes, they exist, as I've met several of them.
