Why Europe Supports Armenia

Moscow-based lawyer Dagir Hasavov who called for the introduction of the sharia court in Russia in an interview with Ren-TV, hastily left the country. “We are at home. Perhaps you are foreigners here but we are at home. We will establish the rules that suit us. Any attempt to change this will end in bloodshed. Here will be the second dead lake. We will wash the city with blood,” said Hasavov.

One cannot understand the situation in Russia and Europe, who attacks and who defends. But obviously the confrontation between the two religions and civilizations is slowly but steadily reaching its peak.

The Salafis in Germany succeeded attracting attention thanks to the distribution of Koran. The number of supporters of this direction in Islam who are extremely conservative is increasing. Salafis actively recruit supporters in Germany, the Federal office for the protection of constitution.

The ultra-conservative Salafi (from the word “ancestors”- Ed.) calls for return to the “truly right” way of life and ideals of the early Muslim community living under the Sharia law. The Salafis do not recognize Western political models, democracy, equality of men and women.

In the meantime, Imran Firasat, a citizen of Pakistan living in Spain as political refugee, achieved what seemed impossible. His request to ban Koran in Spain will be considered by the Commission of Constitutional Law of the Congress of Deputies. Firisat thinks Koran does not call for peace, it calls for war and violence.

Armenia is on the junction of these two civilizations. Being the first country in the world to adopt Christianity as official religion, Armenia has been fighting Muslim expansion for centuries. And if previously the expansion was fulfilled through hostility and violence, it has now acquired the form of demographic expansion.

In such a peace form it has crept into all parts of the world. And now it is in Russia and Europe trying unsuccessfully to resist the almost fait accompli. The growth of right-wing sentiment in France and Germany is an attempt to intensify resistance. Nationalism is starting to raise its head in Russia as well.

One of the forms of resistance is Europe’s support to Armenia since it is the only country which was able to counteract to the physical and demographic Muslim expansion. It is true that Armenia has made a lot of sacrifice and it is still obliged to live in the Muslim blockade.

Most analysts think that the expansion of the Muslim world is a response to earlier Christian attack. They say the Muslim people have to defend themselves. Now it is difficult to say what caused the the Christian-Muslim relations to begin to resemble preparations for real war.
