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.

    Amalekites are not Armenians acording to religious J3ws........and Turks are no victims and are dirrectly responsible for AG. Damn
    The story about the Amalekites is just an Old Testament story about genocide... it's more of a comparison than an actual belief that Armenians descended from the tribe of Amelakites.

      Are Americans directly responsible for the Iraq war? The war in Afghanistan? They may be the army that's doing the dirty work but the architects who drew up the plans are the ones pushing the buttons and giving orders.

          The author of the book is of Jewish descent so he merely applied his knowledge of history to his natural exposure to Zionism. The Ottoman Empire had to be dismantled to create the state of Israel and it isn't too far fetched to connect the Armenian Genocide and the elimination of a strong presence of Christians by their Muslim neighbors in the region in order to convince those in the West to go to war for the coming of their Messiah (usual Hrya tactics)

          "In the Hebrew Bible, there are many passages that state that the Jews have a mortal enemy whom they call Amalek, and for them it is a racial belief that there is a tribe of Amalekites out to destroy the Jews. And God has commanded the Jews to completely exterminate the Amalekites... They cannot leave a single Amalekite alive... And the Jewish people associated the Armenians with the Amalekites. They believe that the Armenian people represent this racial enemy of the Jews, which has to be exterminated."

          The ARF at the time supported the Young Turks (Committee of Union and Progress) up to the time of the genocide (they likely shared members in free masonic lodges). The CUP was a set of very well-educated Turks from Europe (specifically the Balkans); they were known to be free masons. The ARF's intentions were to have an independent Armenia.

          Henry Morgenthau, the Zionist US Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, DID not actually help the Armenians in any way (unlike the protection he provided to the Jews of the Ottoman Empire). Although he wrote a book propagandizing the massacres and genocide of the Armenians to the American government and public (in order to turn them against the Turkish Muslims).

          At the time, American missionaries were sent to "convert" Armenians to Christianity, but they were already Christian. The author suggests it was likely a ploy to create hysteria within the Empire that the Americans are organizing the Armenians (divide and conquer).
          Actually, Dre has a point, some of the founding members of the CUP were of Donme and Khazar origin, namely Mehmet Cavit Bey (a Donme from Thessolonika/Salonika in the Ottoman Empire, now Greece), Tekin Alp (also from Salonika), Emanuel Karasu (also from Salonika, later Istanbul) were organizers of the Jon Turkler/CUP, and did theorize Turkish Nationalism. Many of the MHP support their ideas.

          I'm not linking this to xxxish people in Europe (Ashkhenazi) who had jack to do, nor am I justifying WW2 to be clear to everyone, just stating that Dre is right in saying there was Sephardi, Khazar and Donme people who helped commit the Genocide. Nor am I sure it has any link to do with Amalekites, I always thought Armenians came from Japheph according to Hebrew religion.
          But he does have a point with Turkish/Donme involvement in the Genocide

            Re: Religion and Atheism

            Questions:

            1) If atheism isn’t a religion, then why do atheists debate theists and try to convert them?

            2) Why do most people in the media that claim to be atheists are of J3wish upbringing? It is my understanding that the first step of conversion is turning a person against their religion of birth (wipe the slate clean) in a long term agenda of converting the next generation.

              I dont believe or following anything, a lot of my friends ask "how do you get through life without hope." I find it irrelevant to me being a nonbeliever because i dont need "hope" or "faith" to get through tough times. I respect those who are religious, really i do. I just cant.

                      Your friends are making assumptions by posing the question that way, no?
                      How do you get by without hope? What does that even mean? Without the feeling hope at all? Hope for what?
