And on  the Ottoman side

9 generals on both sides combined were Armenians (Turkish-Russian war of 1877-78):

Mikhail Loris-Melikov, Ivan Lazarev, Arzas Ter-Gukasov, Yakov Alkhazov, Dmitri Ter-Asaturov, Ivan Loris-Melikov and the generals Denibekov, Kishmishev and Kethudov.

They sound like theyre all from Russia....damnit you were right lol

Ahh...it says both fronts combined (Caucasian and Balkan), not both sides. hah my mistake.

Whatever...Armenians make kick-ass generals either way. Joaqim Murat, Napoleon's top general, is a good example . (his real name was Hovakim Muradian, he was an ethnic Armenian born in Karabagh)

 Samuel Huntington, author of "The Clash of Civilizations," tells us that out of 22 active conflicts in the world today, 20 involve Moslems and someone else - Moslems and Christians, Moslems and Jews, Moslems and Catholics, Moslems and Orthodox, Moslems and Hindus.

Perhaps this sheads a little light on why not just the western world, but east and west, are a little uneasy with Islam..

Geez, all we need now are moslems against the Confusians, Shintoists, Buddhists, and above all the Raelists.

Maybe that will come tommorow.

I do not believe that all Muslims think this way but it seems there some who do take it to this extreme. I have been told that only about 10% of Muslims in the world take it to this extreme so what is 10% out of around 1.1 billion??? I would ask peaceful Muslims like Seko what are you doing to support the peaceful side of Islam and your interpretation of the Koran? Since I have your attention anything new in the supplement world? I suggest checking out hyluronic acid.

Islamic radicals are in no way concealing their agenda as they campaign for a guilty verdict in a court case involving three Christian women accused of "Christianizing" Muslim children in Indonesia.

An Indonesian correspondent known only as Ibrahim B. says their agenda is spelled out in an Indonesian-language book with an English title, "Jihad and the Foreign Policy of the Khilafah State...... see link

What I am doing now. That is my answer to the first question. Showing an alternative to the age old extremist moslem voice. We mellow types are the majority you know.

Haven't got a clue about hyluronic acid. Just hope you don't get any on your shoes. Sounds like it might leave a stain.

Always can go for more antioxidants. Looky here: Astaxanthin - http://www.astafactor.com/in-nature.htm

When Muslims are in the minority (as they are in America, Britain, India) the message is always "Let us live in peace with one another, for Islam is a religion of tolerance and understanding." Then, once Islam has spread throughout the country, the message suddenly changes to "Anyone who stands against the Prophet is worthy of death!"

Murat/Murad is also used by Turks and Armenians. Muradian is still a popular last name among Armenians.

Armenian Survival, where did you get that information? Wikipedia says that he was born to Pierre Murat-Jordy and Jeanne Loubires.

I tend to agree with what he is saying and I find groups like CAIR (Council of American Islamic Relations) a threat to our constitution and free speech. I am sure they would like to make it a hate crime to criticize Islam in anyway in the U.S. As an American it is my right to criticize any belief system or political viewpoint. In Australia it is a hate crime to criticize Islam, even from their Holy books. Even in a church setting you cannot criticize them at all or you can face a stiff fine and jail sentence. As Islam grows in America they will fight for more political influence and even eventually try to push Sharia law on the majority. I do not think it will happen real soon, but if they keep growing and outnumber non-Muslims it is a big possibility. If you look at Sudan, Indoneasia, Chad, Nigeria, Pakistan you can see, with current events, what the kid says it true.

its funny how you call muslims they when they are as american as you and when what you would consider white americans are converting in record numbers, yes white american muslims, are they too right.  even if it becomes the majority religion it somehow is unamerican to be muslim because muslim defines you as non american wow thats just hilarious. muslims are all good when they are in minor numbers and arent part of politics and mainstream american life but as soon as that happens you got a problem that is hilarious.

I have checked, and my Armenian sources say that he was born in Krkjan (in Karabagh) in september 25, 1767. His father had experiance with Karabagh horses. As a teenager he travelled to Moscow, Austria, Germany, and then to France with his father. In 1787 he served in the French Cavalry, etc...

Joachim Murat, whose true name was Hovakim Muradian, left together with his father, who supplied Karabakhian racehorses to Russia, for Moscow, then Austria, Germany and at last he came to France. They were Armenians, originally from Karabakh, who travelled and eventually lived in France.

Even Naploeon's bodyguard was an Armenian...a man named Rostan. Rostan was born in Tbilisi, Georgia. At 9 years of age he was kidnapped and sent to Egypt, where he was sold to one of the local rich people, who in turn gave him as a present to Napoleon.

It is not uncommon to have a general of a nation not actually be of that nation's ethnicity. As previously stated, many top Russian generals were in fact Armenian.

Next thing youre gonna tell me is Charles Aznavour is a Frenchman and not Armenian . Afterall, his first name is as French as you can get. (Charles isnt his real first name btw)

Its very possible that he designated himself as Joachim Murat because he was in France. Hovakim Muradian---Joachim Murat. French version of an Armenian name. Some Armenians alter their names to fit into the national profile of whichever nation they live in. Many Armenians in Russia have their last names ending in '-ov', rather than the Armenian '-ian'. Same last name, except for the ending. Murat happens to be a first name used by Armenians (as well as Turks), as well as a very common Armenian last name in Muradian/Muratian  (pronounced Mooradian/Mooratian)

I could be wrong, im not bashing your info. But it says he was born in Karabakh, and his father was even there. I dont know many Frenchman in the late 1700's who were from Karabakh.

Ah thanks, but I am sure   greeks, armenians or Turks have  more hero than France. Dont take it serious but, france are a new nation compared to others

And,  Erci is right, I wont call anyone as Turkish hero who fight for France.

Umm... can you provide a source here. I've noticed that this is a common case amongst marginal ethnicities to try to appropriate other people's history.  How could Joachim be Armenian if his parents were French?

France is an older country than Turkey that's for sure. Furthermore France has been able to achieve more in its "short" history than most other nations on earth.
