Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Re: Muslims occupy Europe

    I do not see a problem here to accuse Muslims. It is not their fault if non-Muslim birthrates are low in Russia and Europe. I'm living among them as 'gegev' also knows; Turks, most of the Russian Muslims and European Muslims are not radicals with their religious beliefs.

    So, as long as the Europe could provide them enough social and religious practice areas; with no supression; Muslim populations would not be a problem for many European states. Cause; Muslim population in Europe does not seek for 'independence' or 'union with Muslim world'. Their problems are mostly social and practical ones, which could be easily solved by law.

    But as for Russia; since many of Muslims have their federative states; Muslim majority could be seen as a threat... but Putin's Russia is not USSR; Moscow already has close relationships with Islamic Conference; and some years ago, Muslims started to have positions as 'ministers'.

    And I agree with KanadaHye, Capitalism is not a suitable system for Islam; that religion is more socialistic. So, rise of the Muslim population -if they would stay as 'real' Muslims, not the ones like Kuwaitians- could (see the defitinition: could) bring some more social balance too. However, they should be integrated first. But since most of them have been living in European states for generations; that could not be as hard as it was in 1950s.

    And as for my opinion; I prefer Muslims to Chineses. No racism, just an opinion.

And till now they still haven't taken over Russia and why this would happen in the next 50 years?
      And where did you get those numbers from from 19 till 50 in 40 years that's not going to happen.
      And even if it happens(still not going to happen)look at Iran an Islamic country and close friend of Armenia. Look at Syria, Kazakhstan, ... Our enemies are not the Muslim people but the Turks.

      Did I blame here any Islamic country or people for being Islamic? No! All the sources I referred to are expressing Europeans opinion.
      Do the EU Christians have the right expressing their opinion by rejecting to become an Islamic country or they shouldn’t do anything because others can qualify it as religious hatred or racism?
      Ridiculous.

      Note please that in past regardless of the ethnographic proportion the Russian empire was ruled by the kings of Russian nationality. Now, you know, the “kings” are being elected, therefore the majority is able and, sure enough, will elect kings of his own religion. We have been oriented to Russia for centuries, because Russians are Christians and Islamic countries attacked Caucasus non-muslim countries to convert them into Islam and/or occupying their lands. Do you hate them for that? I don’t; earth is a competition stage where people/nations struggle to promote the ideas/concepts they believe.

      Russia becoming a Muslim state!

      Imagine Russia in 2050! According to Paul Goble, a specialist on ethnic minorities in the Russian Federation has predicted that within the next several decades, Russia will become a Muslim majority state. There is another bad news with fast decline in country population. This has already become a headache for Russian politicians and policy makers. President Vladimir Putin has called already for Russian women to have more children, because demographers predict that Russian population will fall from 143 million to 100 million by 2050. This situation has alarmed Russians as well Western leaders, more so because analysts estimate that Muslims will comprise the majority group in Russians population in few decades.

      I love my own religion – Christianity and being democrat doesn’t mean that one should love/accept all religions. I don’t want Islam or any other religion, except Christianity to become Armenian religion. I don’t like the Islam religion, as they don’t like other religions, and often in past declared Jihad “sacred war against non-believers (who are proponents of other religions)”, when they felt that their religious values are violated, because of religious differences among countries. There are values, you know, that oppose each other in Islamic and Christian and other religions. European Christians don’t like the Islamic religion expansion in Europe and current Christian European leaders hate it either and this is the main reason that France, Germany etc. are rejecting the idea of accepting Turkey in EU. Do you reject the Christian EU member country governments right to oppose the Islam-asation?

      Does France violate Islamic values by prohibiting to use veil in schools and universities? According to Koran – yes! But according to French Christian values – No! Which rights should prevail in France now; when Christians are majority?

        Re: Muslims occupy Europe

        There is no need to look at things in a either or (hunter vs prey) way. I personaly hate all the major religions but i live and deal with people of all faiths where i live. It is hard at times to accept each others presence but the reality is that we are all the same human beings and we pretty much want the same things in life. I remember when in Yerevan so many people made a huge deal about opening the masque for the Iranian community there while "Islamic Iran" has had and still has many churches for its chritian minorites including Armenians. People no matter their religion are still people and want basicly the same things in life. Islam is more of a socialist religion and judaism is more of a narcistic religion while christianity is somewhere in between but the people who belong to all these and other religions want the same things, to improve their lives and to give their childeren a better future. I like seeing blacks, muslims and other people in Armenia because diversity is a strength which Armenia very much lacks today. The fact that these people of diverse backgrounds come to Armenis is a sure sign that the country is developing and attracting immegrents, and i hope to be one of them when the time is right for my family..

          First I got a couple of questions for you.
          Do you live in Europe?
          How do you know this is the opinion of the 'Christian' Europeans?(most Europeans don't give a damn about religion)

          First Russia will never become a Islamic state, let me tell you why. Look at who's ruling Russia and where the money is. It's in the hand of the Christians and xxxs. And do you really think that there is democracy in Russia(there is as much democracy in Russia as there is in Armenia.) And how will religion matter how Russia conducts it's business, decisions aren't made based on religion but what is the best choice to do.
          And how do you there will be even a Russia 50 years from now. This is just fear mongering nothing more. And you are buying it, that's the worst part of it.

          And you know why we are really orientated towards Russia for all those years? Religion hasn't got anything to do with it. They were the new power in the region who were ready to protect our people and now they are the one of the only allies we got. it has got nothing to do with religion. Politics has never had anything in common with religion.

            Well said Karo! I have been saying the same for a long time also but it hard for people to comprehend things when they are not black and white or christian and muslim or tom and jerry...

                Re: Muslims occupy Europe

                I really don't know how they define people as Muslim because I don't know many devout Muslims that practice their religion. They are descendants of Muslims and some even marry non-Muslims but unless they have a religious awakening later on in life, I don't think they would be classfied as Muslim. It's like saying if you're born in the US or Canada, you're automatically considered Christian even though you don't know the first thing about Christian history. These videos are nothing more than propaganda. The only part that is true is the projection of offspring and we Armenians need to get cracking!!
