Re: y are armenians so racist?

@ Mos, YEs I dont listen to anything anyone tells me, I know what this is like because you get this same BS about Muslims, Arabs etc.... that they're hostile, that they're terrorists, what i'm trying to do here is built a humble bridge between and find out from Armenians themselves. Again i do not need to ask you to be careful of the BS you hear about Muslims and Arabs, we are being made to be hated by the west as they have their own agendas...

..Personally I don't listen to anyone who tries to feed me this cr*p, humanity is hard to trust no matter where they are from or who they are, east, west, Arab, Armenian, Muslim, Christian, etc ....hence why i make the effort to find out for myself... It's just my nature, and that is something that Islam taught me... what these Fundamentalists and extremists are following is stone aged cultural tradition, which in most parts contradicts Islam.... but you try to voice this message then no one will listen..... Notice how the peaceful people do not have a voice...its easier for people to hate for some reason, so they will drown out the reasonable voice and follow the norm like sheep.... This is life, this is the world, this is humanity, no matter if you're Muslim, Christian, xxx, Armenian, Arab or whatever.

But I still want to travel, experience things for myself, there are too many sources around us feeding us BS about each other and trying to make us all hate each other.

Re: y are armenians so racist?

As for Sip, there's a difference between informing me and calling my faith a cancer, the latter is his own views and prejudice. and....

It might not be immediately obvious from this thread but I am generally very negative about most religions (including Christianity). I guess your islamic-tourist thing brought up a VERY negative image in me from just a few months ago.

I was in Puerto Vallarta for a few days in July of this year. It was very hot (probably 100+F which would be 38ish C I guess) and extremely humid. It was like you were breathing in water vapors. At the resort I was visitng, there was also this Islamic family with the husband running around in shorts, t-shirt, and flip flops and his wife (I could only assume it was his wife), carrying their 2 kids, dressed in full thick heavy Islamic gear with the face covered and everything. I came very close to going over to slap that guy in the face for putting his wife through that misery on their "vacation" (again I could only assume it was vacation).

Why didn't I do it? Because I didn't want to be killed by the Muslim for dishonoring him or some other stupid thing like that So yah, I do think Islam, much like other "faith-based" religions (aka not founded in fact) is a cancer. This particular cancer just happens to be spreading very rapidly and is VERY disturbing currently in the world. Christianity is already spread and unfortunately there is not much we can do until wait it out and hope we, as humans, are cured of it soon. But these are multi-page topics that could go (and have gone) on and on in their own threads

Re: y are armenians so racist?

I can understand and relate to you Sip, I really can, I'm a practicing Muslim myself and I dont wear the Hejab or full veil... because the way i interpret it, it's what's in your heart that's more important than what's on your head, the Qur'an states to guard ones beauty, stating bosoms, it doesnt talk about head or face... that is cultural, but is labelled "Islamic"..

and for what it's worth, even I as a religious Muslim, would want to go and slap that guy, so you're not alone in feeling this way

Culturally, the west wants to do away with the current "Islamic" attire because industries like fashion, make-up, etc. can't profit off of the current dress. Revlon and L'Oreal need billions of more dollars to add to their fortunes.

Re: y are armenians so racist?

@Sip ....I don't think i'll be deluding myself... It's because pathetic brainwashed people like you exist, the true cancer of this world...But not to worry, I only have pity on such weak people

Oooh jeez, stop with that pre-madonna attitude. So there are some people who don't think Islam is all that great. Big whoop. Get over it. Your self-deluded idea of moral superiority is bs. Nobody in Armenia will turn their backs to accommodate your special needs just because your are muslim.

You come and revive a thread that is meant to paint Armenians in a bad light AND still complain? Get over it, and get the f*k out.

Rather than pity weak people, go pity your muslim borthers that blow themselves up in the name of Islam. Radical or not, you don't see Christians blowing themselves up in the name of Christianity.

Looks like someone has pulled a prima-donna of their own ..... feel better after getting that off your chest?.... good..... goodnight then *Yawns*

Re: y are armenians so racist?

Any "Armenian element" in now way justified what the Turks did to the Armenians. And let's not forget, that they blamed the West on helping the Christian minorities, and till this day cry about the West being biased against the Muslim Turks, thus accepting the Armenian Genocide.

The Western powers used the Christian minority to divide the Ottoman Empire as well as the Arab population to lead a rebellion. They didn't care about the Greeks, Assyrians or Armenians nor did they want to "save" them. They were interested in their investments.

They blow themselves up most likely because some western soldier raped, tortured and/or killed one of their family members. Give them the same weapons and I'm sure they wouldn't need to blow themselves up.

Most Armenians aren't racist in the sense that they hate other cultures.... they just want to preserve their own culture.

I can respect that actually...... I think some small minded people unfortunately get carried away and pride starts consisting of belittling and hating others.... this includes a lot of so called Muslims too.

It's funny how that last poster insulted me for bringing up a post that supposedly paints Armenians in a bad light (when in fact, it helped clarify things) when his insults, curses and hypocritical attitude is more likely to succeed in doing what he set out to prevent.... how ironic... Some people really are their own worst enemy.

Also:

Well said!!.... Despite it actually being a sin in Islam, it's still an act of desperation..... If someone killed all your family, friends, neighbours, home, livelihood, i think you'd pretty much lose your sanity and do the same.... It psychologically takes a lot for someone to take their own life, they're basically fighting a strong human instinct of staying alive.
