Armenians Who Converted To Islam

[Eire]

This thread shouldnt even exist.

 

Besides half-baked theories on just about everyone having some Armenian blood (WHO CARES IF PRINCESS DIANA HAD SOME ARMENIAN BLOOD, GWEN STEFANIE?? WHO CARES?), the idea that we could accept any Armenian who converted to Islam as true Armenians is beyond me.

 

To address Ata Convert's earlier point that Tigran The Great was not a Christian, The thing about Islam is that by accepting it, the convert adopts an Arabic (I.E. Middle Eastern)lifestyle. We are not a Middle Eastern people. Our culture is NOT Middle Eastern (some ignorant Armenians might disagree with me).

 

I would accept a pagan Armenian over a muslim one any day. The simple fact is that paganism is of our own people. Our gods walked with us, they drank from our rivers and ate from our trees. Christianity is now an integral part of our culture, and I rather the loving Christian values over any other faith.

 

This thread should be taken down. I dont care what some Turkified Armenian did. He converted? Good on him, but the blood we share is no longer valid. Might as well open a thread about Buddhist achievements or Australian Aborigines... it has as much to do with Armenians as Islam.

Just my 2 cents......Devotion to the land you live on shouldn’t and can’t be majored by what fate you believe in! rather what your contributions are and i is…after all, during the Artsax war, Yezdis in Armenia were fighting on front lines along with Hays. Religion is a creation of human thirst not to be alone in this vast universe.
