Azerbaijan is working from the Islamic assumption that jahiliyya, the society of unbelievers, is worthless trash, to be treated with contempt. The Qur’an suggests that the destroyed remnants of ancient non-Muslim civilizations are a sign of Allah’s punishment of those who rejected his truth: “Many were the ways of life that have passed away before you: travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those who rejected truth.” (Qur’an 3:137) Accordingly, destroying the artifacts of non-Muslim civilizations is an act of Islamic piety.
“Azerbaijan Uses Armenian Gravestones To Build Roads,” International Christian Concern, May 22, 2021:
05/22/2021 Nagorno-Karabakh (International Christian Concern) – Azerbaijan is utilizing gravestones from Armenian cemeteries as building material, according to the Minister of Foreign Affairs for the Republic of Artsakh, David Babayan. Azerbaijan continues to deface and destroy Armenian Christian heritage sites, including cemeteries and churches, as they seek to eradicate evidence of their culture and identity.
Cemeteries in Hadrut have been destroyed, as seen by satellite images. Reports now indicate that those gravestones are being used as building material in areas of Nagorno-Karabakh (Armenian: Artsakh) and particularly for the building of new roads.
Babayan commented saying, “This is another manifestation of cultural genocide; barbarism with a political purpose…
mortimer says
The final stage of genocide is to cover up all traces of what has occurred and to remove even monuments to the dead.
Note here that tombstones are being placed UNDER THE FEET of the Muslims … that is the standard Islamic insult … namely referring to taking pleasure to walk on someone’s grave.
commonsense says
That’s a very important point, Mortimer.

as you notice if your a Muslim can t tolerate other religious
Crusades Were Right says
If Western nations just keep ignoring this barbarism then eventually it will happen to them too.
After Armenia comes Georgia, Cyprus (what’s left of it), Greece, Bulgaria, and so on, until the Turkish jihadist empire is once more at the gates of Vienna. And next time round there will be MILLIONS of Turkish and other Mohammedans already present in Western lands.
Genocide can happen to ANY nation if precautions aren’t taken to prevent it.
Boycott Turkey says
I totally agree with you we need precautions Greece Cyprus and Armenia need to get nukes and improve there military the same way Israel has advanced weapons and nukes I find as a Greek Cypriot myself Greeks are always waiting for somebody to come and save them from Turkey like The West or Russia but they don’t do enough with buying military weapons or building them they are to laidback if we don’t wake up I dread to know what will happen.
Infidel says
I think you should look at the next generation of weapons – computer hacking and AI – to somehow commandeer Turkey’s own NATO given weapons against them. That would avoid the hassle of getting nukes yourselves (probably to the consternation of major powers) and also give you probably deniability once such an attack is successfully executed. Just launch one of those Incirlik based weapons at Ankara or Istanbul, and blow out Turkey’s military capabilities. That country will collapse pretty quickly
Boycott Turkey says
Good idea
GreekEmpress says
BoycottTurkey,
Agree totally with you on all points. Turkey and Azerbaijan are built on the graves of Greeks/Armenians/Assyrians.

Actually, Azerbaijan is not even a real country. Iran would be more justified in claiming Azerbaijan than claiming Israel: the dynasty the converted Iran from sunni to shi’a – the Safavids – were an Azeri dynasty, first based in Ardabil, and then at Tabriz. Azerbaijan was a part of that before the Russians conquered it during the triangular wars b/w Russia, Iran and Turkey in the 18th century
Boycott Turkey says
Azerbaijan is Absolute evil they also built a evil mesuem to celebrate the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Armenians by using helmets of fallen Armenian soliders and making caricature s of Armenian soildiers i really feel bad for Armenians I wish they had won they should have won this is very unfair but they lost thanks to Russia there so called ally I pray that Turkey and Azerbaijan fall one day and pay for there Genocides against Armenians Greeks and Assyrians
Infidel says
So the first ex-Soviet Republic to go full islamic. Somehow, one would have expected it to be Uzbekistan (site of 2 major historic muslim capitals Samarqand and Buqhara) or Tajikistan (a country that is ethnic Farsi like Iran)
somehistory says
It is satan’s intent to prevent what the Bible Book of Revelation describes “a great crowd, made up of every tribe, tongue, people and nation” from going alive into the paradise Jesus promised to the thief; the “new earth” that Revelation describes.
If satan can have humans kill enough humans who are trying to live a truly Godly life, to do as they are commanded by Jesus, thereby earning themselves a place in the “lake of fire,” he believes he can keep the “great crowd” from even being alive at the time they would be rescued.
Wiping out the history and the “heritage” won’t keep the verse from having fulfillment, but satan is ignorant as well as evil. satan cannot stop what Jesus prophesied from happening, but he is having his “children” work feverishly to that end.

Bill Warner has said that Islam destroyed a lot of classical civilization over its 1400 year history in the same way as they are doing now. Of course, Christians destroyed precious manuscripts of Central and South American civilizations in the past. Probably this tendency is found in many religions and ideologies. Civilized people would not do such things, one would hope. And yet there was the Nazi book burning too, and destruction of cultural treasures in the course of the many wars across the planet. Mass bombing in WW II, for example.
commonsense says
You must understand that destruction of all infidel civilization, including architecture, houses of worship, representational art (whether secular or religious), etc., is doctrinal in Islam – it’s a prescribed religious command, not a mere act of malice.
gravenimage says
Spot on, commonsense.
tim gallagher says
Typical Muslim behaviour all this destruction of anything and any people who non-Muslim. There’s been 1400 years of this type of behaviour. The thing that annoys me is the fact that we, in non-Muslim countries, keep letting Muslims into our countries and we are always being told that islam deserves to be respected and that we should treat Muslims well. The toleration is all one way. Zero tolerance from Islam, but this foolish tolerance, totally undeserved, that we keep showing towards Muslims and Islam. This type of evil crap that is being reported on in Azerbaijan is typical of Islam.

Azerbaijan destroying all traces of Christian heritage, using Armenian gravestones to build roads
…………..
Just awful, but no real surprise. Muslims used Jewish and Christian gravestones in Lebanon to build latrines.
And yes–the final point of genocide is to eradicate all mention of the slaughtered people. Islam regularly destroys the past, and regards it all as “worthless Jahillya”.
Infidel says
It’s then ‘poetic justice’ as some SJWs like to call it, that the Chicom have converted mosques.in Hotan/Khotan into latrines ?
OLD GUY says
This is the goal of islam, total domination of the world. Anyone not following the Islamic rule will be ENSLAVED, or KILLED and all signs of your existence erased .
Mauricio says
The Armenian Church seems like a good Christian Church to belong to. Too bad there is none near to where I live. At least they don’t seem to have leaders that are dimmies, play around, admire and bless muslims. Correct me if I am wrong.
Andrew Blackadder says
The Communist Chinese used the exact same tactic by taking ancient Tibetan Buddhist markings on stones and placing them at the front door of Tibetans thereby making it unable for them to walk outside their front door as they would be walking on their sacred teachings
They also used many of these stones to build sidewalks in Lhasa.
Tolerance is certainly not an important tenet in both islam or communism.
