In the name of Allah The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful to the believers, All praise and gratitude is for Allah, Peace be upon the one who follows the clear path. I invite to the true religion of The Creator of the heavens and the earth. Allah is One. The only one who is independent, all-powerful and the only one who is Unique. Allah has no sons and no daughters. The Creator is the most high. Nothing and no one is worshiped in truth except Allah. Allah is eternal and in need of no one, we (the creation) are dependent on Allah. The one who sent the prophets with the message: "To Only worship Allah, and do not worship any false gods/goddesses. Do not associate parnters with Allah." The prophet Muhammed peace be upon him is the last prophet of Allah. Allah didnt sent the messenger Muhammed for a specefic nation but for the hole word until the sun will rise from the west. (A sign from the signs of the Day of judgment/The Hour/The end of the test.) Because when that happens no more repentance will be accepted. Interpretation of the meaning of the Original Quran 91:9/10 Surely the one who purifies it (the soul) (from sins) will prosper. And surely the one who corrupts her (by sins) will lose. 2:256 There is no compulsion in religion There are those who tell lies about Allah. The Truth has come and falsehood has vanished. Falsehood is surely bound to vanish. The truth is from Allah the only Creator. The last revelation is from Allah is in the Quran and the authentic hadith (in Unique Arabic). Allah preserved the last revelation (sent to The last messenger Muhammed (pbuh)). There is only 1 Quran and not a letter has changed, And the sayings of the prophet (pbuh) are also preserved.

O Son of Israel, why do you join yourself to God as a partner? Why do you equate yourself with God? Isn't this an encroachment on the Rights of God and an insult to God? Isn't every creature, all of God's creation, God's servants? Isn't God Powerful over every creature? In such a case, isn't every being a servant of God? O children of Israel, why have you slandered God? If every creature is God's slaves, then how can God call someone gods, sons, children, etc.? Is it fitting for God to tell a lie (lie)? Isn't every creature a slave of God? O children of Israel, please answer my question honestly. Have any of you ever called your children slaves? Even though your children were stupid, disobedient, sinners, villains, they listened to you only for profit, or because they were afraid of you. Have you ever called them your slaves? - Of course not. How then can God call his children slaves? You talk about God that which is alien to you. In your Book (Torah), the God of Moses issued a verdict that he was His slave. “Moses, My servant, is dead.” According to your logic, God should have called Moses not not a slave but a super-duper beloved son. But God made a verdict about him that he was only a servant of God. Why are you equating yourself with God? You will become aware of the fact that you are pagans now. And God does not forgive the Gentiles after death.

Though the Jews were everywhere a subject people, and in much of the world persecuted as well, Khazaria was the one place in the medieval world where the Jews actually were their own masters. To the oppressed Jews of the world, the Khazars were a source of pride and hope. The history of Khazaria presents us with a fascinating example of how Jewish life flourished in the Middle Ages. In a time when Jews were persecuted thruout Christian Europe, the kingdom of Khazaria was a beacon of hope. Jews were able to flourish in Khazaria because of the tolerance of the Khazar rulers, who invited Roman and Persian Jewish refugees to settle in their country. Due to the influence of these refugees, the Khazars found the Jewish religion to be appealing and adopted Judaism in large numbers. Most of the available information about the Khazars comes from Arabic, Hebrew, Armenian, Roman, and Slavic sources, most of which are reliable. There is also a large quantity of archaeological evidence concerning the Khazars that illuminates multiple aspects of the Khazarian economy (arts and crafts, trade, agriculture, fishing, etc.) as well as burial practices. The Khazars were a Turkic people who originated in Central Asia. The early Turkic tribes were quite diverse, although it is believed that reddish hair was predominant among them prior to the Mongol conquests. In the beginning, the Khazars believed in Tengri shamanism, spoke a Turkic language, and were nomadic. Later, the Khazars adopted Judaism, Islam, and Christianity, learned Hebrew and Slavic, and became settled in cities and towns thruout the north Caucasus and modern day Ukraine. The Khazars had a great history of ethnic independence extending approximately 800 years from the 5th to the 13th century. From about 550 to 630, the Khazars were part of the Western Turkish Empire, ruled by the Celestial Blue Turks (Kök Turks). When the Western Turkish Empire was broken up as a result of civil wars in the middle of the 7th century, the Khazars successfully asserted their independence. Yet, the Kök kaganate under which they had lived provided the Khazars with their system of government. For example, the Khazars followed the same guidelines as the Kök Turks regarding the succession of kings. At its maximum extent, the independent country of Khazaria included the geographic regions of southern Russia, northern Caucasus, eastern Ukraine, Crimea, western Kazakhstan, and northwestern Uzbekistan. Other Turkic groups such as the Sabirs and Bulgars came under Khazar jurisdiction during the 7th century. The Khazars forced some of the Bulgars (led by Asparukh) to move to modern-day Bulgaria, while other Bulgars fled to the upper Volga River region where the independent state of Volga Bulgharia was founded. The Khazars had their greatest power over other Turkic tribes in the 9th century, controlling Magyars, Pechenegs, Burtas, North Caucasian Huns, and other tribes and demanding tribute from them. Because of their jurisdiction over the area, the Caspian Sea was named the "Khazar Sea", and even today the Turkish, Persian, and Arabic languages designate the Caspian by this term (in Turkish, "Hazar Denizi"; in Arabic, "Bahr-ul-Khazar"; in Persian, "Daryaye Khazar"). The first Khazar capital was Balanjar, which is identified with the archaeological site Verkhneye Chir-Yurt. During the 720s, the Khazars transferred their capital to Samandar, a coastal town in the north Caucasus noted for its beautiful gardens and vineyards. In 750, the capital was moved to the city of Itil (Atil) on the edge of the Volga River. In fact, the name "Itil" also designated the Volga River in the medieval age. Itil would remain the Khazar capital for at least another 200 years. Itil, the administrative center of the Khazar kingdom, was located adjacent to Khazaran, a major trading center. In the early 10th century, Khazaran-Itil's population was composed mostly of Muslims and Jews, but a few Christians lived there also. The capital city had many mosques. The king's palace was located on an island nearby, which was surrounded by a brick wall. The Khazars stayed in their capital during the winter, but they lived in the surrounding steppe in the spring and summer to cultivate their crops. The great capital city of modern Ukraine, Kiev, was founded by Khazars. Kiev is a Turkic place name (Küi = riverbank + ev = settlement). A community of Jewish Khazars lived in Kiev. The Khazars' dual-monarchy was a Turkic system under which the kagan was the supreme king and the bek (bey) was the civilian army leader. The kagans were part of the Turkic Asena ruling family that had provided kagans for other Central Asian nations in the early medieval period. The Khazar kagans had relations with the rulers of the Roman empire, Abkhazians, and Armenians. To some extent, the Khazarian kings influenced the religion of the Khazar people, but they tolerated those who had different religions than their own, so that even when these kings adopted Judaism they still let Greek Christians, pagan Slavs, and Muslim Iranians live in their domains. In the capital city, the Khazars established a supreme court composed of 7 members, and every religion was represented on this judicial panel (according to one contemporary Arab chronicle, the Khazars were judged according to the Torah, while the other tribes were judged according to other laws). ........ "The Khazar people were an unusual phenomenon for Medieval times. Surrounded by savage and nomadic tribes, they had all the advantages of the developed countries: structured government, vast and prosperous trading, and a permanent army. At the time, when great fanatism and deep ignorance contested their dominion over Western Europe, the Khazar state was famous for its justice and tolerance. People persecuted for their faiths flocked into Khazaria from everywhere. As a glistening star it shone brightly on the gloomy horizon of Europe. - Raymond Scheindlin, in The Chronicles of the Jewish People (1996)

Adopting religions in the region had to do with the interests of the particular rulers rather than its citizens - that's why different Caucasian nations adpoted different religions. As for the second question: Russians wanted to gain a stable access to the eastern coast of the Black Sea that was historically inhabited by Circassians. On the contrary, Chechens and inhabitants of Dagestan inhabited the hardly-accessible montainous areas. That's why only Circassians suffered from ethnic cleansing.

[@creedness733]

Circassians were the last nation to resist the Russian empire in the Caucasus.

But I've learnt they have many people and different religions living peacefully like the Circassians,Druze and Samarites etc. Whenever something like this war happens I like to educate myself before performing an opinion and I think Israel is the good guys for now

Zionist Hebrew is not a “revived” form of Old Hebrew, as is commonly maintained. Rather it is a derivative of Yiddish,and thus is also a Slavic language. Since the “linguistic revival” is impossible, ziganist Israeli Hebrew cannot be considered a “revived” form of Biblical Hebrew because it utilizes the syntactic and phonological systems of Yiddish, with only the vocabulary being of mainly Biblical Hebrew.Therefore this Roma-Isreal country of Romanistan Hebrew and its genetic parent Yiddish must be defined as Slavic languages. As a relexified form of Yiddish, Modern Israeli Hebrew differs only in its predominantly biblical Hebrew vocabulary Torah is admittedly altard because they didnt like it. So Haggai, Baruch, Ezra, Nehemiah, Zechariah and God knows who else changed it. Plain and simple. Genesis 18:22, Numbers 11:15, Numbers 12:12, I Samuel 3:13, II Samuel 16:12, I Kings 12:16, II Chronicles 10:16, Jeremiah 2:11, Ezekiel 8:17, Hosea 4:7, Habakkuk 1:11, Zechariah 2:12, Malachi 1:13, Psalms 106:20, Job 7:20, Job 32:3, Lamentations 3:19. As for the rest of Jewish books Zohar (זֹהַר‎),Sefer Raziel HaShatan(ספר רזיאל השטן),Spear of Deimos(חרבא דימוס not Moseh) all madeup books 10 manuscripts that were written in a nonsemetic foreign language is all they had back in the 17th century "The original manuscripts were lost, no trace of them having been discovered since about 1655"~ Professor Isaac H. Hall. Now they have over 5,800 "original" manuscripts !! Hahaha They admit thier Greek NoteBook was altard many many times YET at the same time they deny what they admitted bible.org/article/changes-kjv-1611-illustration. Forces of evil will go to extreme to conceal the truth. The Museum of the Bible announced that all 16 of the museum’s Dead Sea Scroll fragments it has requested are modern forgeries that duped outside collectors, the museum’s founder, and some of the world’s leading biblical scholars. Officials unveiled the findings at an academic conference hosted by the museum. “The Museum of the Bible is trying to be as transparent as possible,” says CEO Harry Hargrave. “We’re victims-we’re victims of misrepresentation, we’re victims of fraud.”. Roland de Vaux was one of the very few scientists who were allowed to see them (the original ones) and study them. He leared the truth so Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh heavily criticized Roland de Vaux In their work "The Dead Sea Scrolls Deception" describing him as "ruthless, narrow-minded, bigoted and fiercely vindictive," anti-semitic and a fascist sympathizer. The Deceptive ones are the ones who use modern technologies to pass forgeries as authentics. d2f7x7uhr2xem7.cloudfront.net/sixteen_by_nine/MOTB-DSS-Report-FINAL-web.pdf

the Jewish Semitic claim made by the Zionists in the name of contemporary Jews remains unsubstantiated according to scholarly findings in history, archaeology, linguistics, and genetics. Second, the Semitic claim is essentially used to justify the dispossession, displacement, and impersonation of the Palestinians by Jewish settlers in one of the most complex form of cultural identity theft. Third, even if contemporary Jews were actually “Semitic,” this will not justify their dispossession of the Palestinians who have nothing to do with any past or present, actual or alleged persecution of Jews in Europe or anywhere else in the world. Fourth, the Semitic claim did not solve the Jewish identity problem created by Zionism as the current genetic turn to a new racial science indicates. Fifth, the growing disillusionment with the Jewish Semitic claim could nurture cynicism or guilt among current and future Jewish generations. Hebrew University Professor of History Yehoshua Porath was quoted: “You can’t build a cultural heritage on a lie. Because when young people discover the truth, they can become cynical” (Fletcher 1995, 16).
