The secularized Azerbaijanis lived for decades under Soviet Communist rule and have not lived under Sharia for centuries. They aren’t used to this, particularly since it was entirely unexpected. Having no modern experience with Sharia, they feel keenly the inhumanity of many of its provisions.
“Sharia Law, chaos and looting against Azerbaijani citizens –Baku’s plan to hire jihadists implodes,” Armen Press, September 28, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 28, ARMENPRESS. The militants from Syria hired as mercenaries by Azerbaijan for the attack on Artsakh have caused chaos in the Azerbaijani villages where they are deployed and the altercations with the local Azerbaijani populated has even escalated to clashes, according to the Free Azerbaijan website, among other sources.
“The Syrian militants have caused chaos. According to the report there are clashes between the local residents and the Syrian militants for already two days. The militants from the Middle East are mistreating the villagers, insulting them, threatening, prohibiting women to go outside without wearing hijabs. In addition, the “guests” are attacking and looting the local stores and not allowing shopkeepers to sell liquor. In other words, the militants are applying Sharia Law” the Azerbaijani news website reported.
Moreover, the Azeri military police has intervened to prevent a potential large-scale clash. The military police officers were able to forcefully bring the situation under control for now.
Local residents have stressed that it is alarming that they have to withstand the militants who are fighting on their own side.
According to intelligence reports Azerbaijan has recruited nearly 4000 militants from Syria to attack Artsakh….

If asked, I would say it serves them right to learn what their “religion” (more accurately put IDEOLOGY) is actually all about. Might help them give up being followers.

Azerbaijan hires Syrian jihadis as mercenaries, they impose Sharia, mandating hijabs and forbidding liquor
……………….
They wanted Jihadists to attack Armenians. Why should any of this surprise them?
Henry Schalk says
May the Azerbaijanis arrive at wisdom “A lesson learned is knowledge or understanding gained by experience”.
Vladimir says
Like many Muslims, they’ll get used to it. What it will help them do is defeat their non-muslim neighbors and seize their lands.
gravenimage says
Likely so–the question is whether Azerbaijan will oust these pious Muslims, or keep them around to attack the Armenians.
Crusades Were Right says
I don’t think we need to try too hard to imagine what lies in store for the Christian Armenians if these so-and-sos manage to get across the border!
Pray for Armenia… and victory over the invading hordes of Islam!
Crusades Were Right says
The “Nagorno-Karabakh” (Artsakh) situation is a beautiful example of the double standard that the “World Community” applies when Islam and Christianity are at odds with each other. Remember what the story was (and still is) regarding Kosovo? Kosovo was a part of Serbia with a Muslim majority that didn’t want to live under Serbian (Christian) rule. So the “World Community” unleashed hell against Serbia until it had driven the Serbs out of the region. Kosovo is now effectively an independent Muslim state on European soil. But when the Christian Armenians of Artsakh had enough of massacres by Azeri Mohammedans and managed to boot them out of their land the “World Community” refused to support this struggle for freedom (and, indeed, life itself). What on earth do the media pundits think would happen if the Azeris ever get their hands on Armenian-populated Artsakh? The streets of Stepanakert would once again run red with Armenian blood!
VICTORY TO ARMENIA OVER AZERBAIJAN!
