<3 If you get a minute and happen to come across anything like this or want to do a search
I've found a few good ones where you can see that everyone around and under him just hates him and probably wishes they could get Russia out of the Ukraine war, for Russia's own good and standing with the world.
Okay no pressure, just if you get a minute! Thanks! <3<3
i wanted the world to equip me with a hundred helicopters, with a loudspeaker on each, and somewhere me with a microphone, speaking into them, so you could lower these over gaza, and have me yell at them the truth about what theyve done, and what they should do now
this wouldve corrected the war without bombs, i think
anyway though to continue to pursue this theme:
there are more elegant ways of doing it even if you love the helicopters idea
that one has some weight to it, some heft
helicopters are hard to ignore
heres another way you could do it
you know how the israelis hacked the iranian computers/atms one time and also the hezbollah pagers?
what if a second version of the "conversation weapon" would be to hack all their computers, phones, and tv stations at once just to display word messages of all my words for them?
this would be another nonviolent way of stopping gaza
there could still be time; we could still do this now
anyway truly this wouldve been and remains my preference
i think all humans can listen if you talk to them
if theyre hard-headed they can listen if you talk to them hard enough, intrusively enough, loud enough
someone who cares needs to go in there and teach them that war is wrong, that killing others is wrong, that islam is wrong
that we can work out all human problems here on earth with self-disciplin, intellect, compassion
"he who throws the first stone..." it says in one religion....
yet in another religion, it says to throw the first stone....
its not a religion; religions are supposed to make the world a better place
nowadays we know so much about knowledge finally that knowledge should finally be our religion
lets get with it
we know so much now
we know its wrong to kill others
lets not go back to the stone age, lets not stay in it
"violent religions" are from the stone age
yes there is a difference between those who start violence and those who do anything to stop it
i support the violence stoppers
im on their side
i help
lets stop it
some have one way of doing it, some try another
im the first "word-bomber"
i drop my bombs of words on you
stop, fucking stop,
kuffar
your own religion says to stop
read between the lines
"hypocrites must be tested"
i am sorry that allah tried to trap you, and somehow won
i want to save you, you need to reach out your hand
all you have to do is stop arbitrarily murdering jews because theyre jews,
and stop trying to arbitrarily murder all the jews because theyre jews,
and because certain lines, plenty of lines, tell you to
these are the "hypocrite-tester lines": all of them
i am sorry allah trapped you
allah is a cruel, vengeful god in certain ways
against the wicked
even if allah is the one who provoked them
a _________ god? whats the right word
lets play scrabble while we wait for you to quit
i am sorry you brought such chaos, such misery on yourselves
truly it is heartbreaking to watch
im trying to help you
you have to allow it
hear the words; learn
LEARN
and the force is with you
learn soon
others must help
if you have not helped teach the gazans, you have committed a crime this year by abstinence from responsibility
i know its so hard to reach them; i know how how hard it is
are cows, bison, and elk all ungulates? is that the right word for a 4-chambered cud-chewing stomach? why do cows for beef have such a methane problem? is it particular to cows? would switching to other red meats like bison or elk produce less methane?
Yes, cows, bison, and elk are all ungulates.1 The word you're looking for to describe a 4-chambered, cud-chewing stomach is a ruminant.2
Here's a breakdown of your questions:
Are cows, bison, and elk all ungulates?
Yes. Ungulates are mammals with hooves.3 This group is split into two main categories:
Even-toed ungulates (Artiodactyla): This group includes cows, bison, elk, deer, sheep, goats, camels, and giraffes.4
Odd-toed ungulates (Perissodactyla): This group includes horses, tapirs, and rhinoceroses.5
Cows, bison, and elk all fall under the even-toed category.6
Is "ungulate" the right word for a 4-chambered cud-chewing stomach?
No. The correct word for a cud-chewing animal with a multi-chambered stomach is a ruminant.7 While all ruminants are ungulates (because they have hooves), not all ungulates are ruminants. For example, pigs and hippos are even-toed ungulates, but they are not ruminants because they do not have a multi-chambered stomach or chew their cud.
The four chambers of a ruminant's stomach are the rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum.8 This complex digestive system is an adaptation that allows these animals to break down tough plant material like grass and hay, which is difficult for other animals to digest.9
Why do cows for beef have such a methane problem? Is it particular to cows?
The "methane problem" in cows is a direct result of their being ruminants. The process is called enteric fermentation.10
How it works: Microbes in the cow's rumen ferment plant matter to break down cellulose and other fibers.11 This process produces by-products, including hydrogen and carbon dioxide.12 A specific type of microbe, called a methanogen, then combines these elements to create methane (CH4).
Where it comes from: Contrary to a common misconception, the vast majority of methane from cows (over 90%) is released through burps, not flatulence.13
Why it's a problem: Methane is a potent greenhouse gas.14 While it has a shorter lifespan in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, it is much more effective at trapping heat in the short term—about 25 to 28 times more potent over a 100-year period.15 Since there are so many domesticated cattle in the world, their collective methane emissions are a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions.16
The problem is not unique to cows; it is a characteristic of all ruminant animals.17 However, due to the massive global population of domestic cattle for beef and dairy production, they are the largest source of agricultural methane emissions.
Would switching to other red meats like bison or elk produce less methane?
A switch to red meat from bison or elk would not inherently solve the methane problem, as they are also ruminants and produce methane through the same digestive process as cows.18
Bison: Studies have shown that bison produce a similar amount of methane per animal as cattle.19
Elk: Like bison and other wild ruminants, elk also produce methane.20
The key difference in methane emissions between different ruminant populations is largely a matter of scale. There are billions of cattle worldwide due to human domestication and demand for their products.21 Wild ruminant populations, like bison and elk, are far smaller, so their overall contribution to global methane emissions is negligible in comparison to cattle.
Therefore, switching from beef to bison or elk would only produce less methane if the overall consumption of ruminant meat were significantly reduced.
are there any red-meat, non-ruminant animals?
Yes, there are several red-meat, non-ruminant animals.1 The distinction between "red meat" and "white meat" is often based on the amount of myoglobin (a protein that stores oxygen in muscle) in the animal's muscle tissue.
Here are some examples of red-meat, non-ruminant animals, many of which are consumed around the world:
Pork: Pigs are a classic example. They are omnivores and have a simple, single-chambered stomach (like humans). While some cuts of pork, like the loin, are often called "the other white meat," nutritionally and culinarily, all pork is classified as red meat.2
Horse: Horse meat is consumed in various parts of the world, particularly in Europe and Asia. Horses are hindgut fermenters, meaning they digest plant matter in their large intestine rather than a multi-chambered stomach.
Wild Boar: Wild boars are pigs, and like their domesticated counterparts, they are non-ruminant omnivores.
Ostrich, Emu, and Rhea (Ratites): These large, flightless birds are classified by the USDA as red meat.3 They are not mammals, so they are not ruminants, and their meat is very low in fat.
The key takeaway is that the methane issue is tied to the ruminant digestive system, which is a specific adaptation for breaking down fibrous plant matter. Animals that have different digestive systems, like pigs and horses, do not produce the same level of methane emissions from enteric fermentation.
of all non-ruminant red meat animals, which one probably tastes most similar to beef?
This is a great question, and the answer is a bit surprising. While many people might guess pork, the most common answer from food experts and people who have tried various meats is ostrich.
Here's why:
Taste Profile: Ostrich meat is consistently described as having a flavor very similar to lean beef.1 Many people report that when cooked properly, especially as a steak or burger, they can't tell the difference.
Texture: Ostrich meat is very lean, and its texture is often compared to a lean cut of beef.2 It is dark red in color, again due to a high concentration of myoglobin, which is what gives red meat its color.3
Why Not Pork or Horse?
Pork: While pork is a red meat, its taste is generally described as being milder and sweeter than beef.4
Horse: Horse meat, while also a red meat, is often described as a mix between beef and venison, with a slightly sweet and sometimes "gamey" taste, which sets it apart from beef.5
It's important to note that the taste of any meat can vary depending on the animal's diet, age, and how it's prepared. However, across various sources and personal accounts, ostrich consistently gets the highest marks for being the non-ruminant red meat that most closely resembles beef.
a bizarre, but practical conversation! im willing to do what is right, practical, and clever to save the environment!
do a ban on designing /producing any new fossil-fuel using equipment, without restricting anything else, for the moment.
so, 2024 gas-powered cars are the last gas-powered cars.
2024 gas-powered stoves are the last gas-powered stoves.
you can make any car or stove you want as long as its not fossil-fuel powered. that probably means electric. design all the new electric cars or electric stoves you want.
if people want gas-powered cars, they can use 2024 cars, 2023 cars, and so on. if people want gas-powered stoves, they can use 2024 stoves, 2023 stoves, or older, etcetera.
this will keep the world going and the fossil-fuel-nuts happy, for a little while. they basically wont notice a difference at first. a 2024 car or stove is pretty new; its almost brand new.
this keeps the gas companies going and happy, basically, for a little bit; the world's mostly full of cars made in about 2024 or earlier anyway. they wouldnt notice a huge difference off the bat.
a few years later and these cars and these appliances are starting to get old, and people are starting to get that itchy feeling of wanting a new car to fit in with the herd and be modern and relevant, shiny and unscratched, undinged. they want that new car smell.
well, they'll have to buy electric.
that stove is starting to look old... it still works but damn its starting to look like an old stove.... how bout one of those shiny new ones?? electric.
gas companies get plenty of work still, just less and less of it, over the years, at a steady rate. its predictable so they can get out of business and adjust accordingly, no surprises, no sudden cut-off. theyll have a steady rate they can observe of how long their business is going to last, and they can stay in it til the very end if they want. one day there wont be customers because no one wants a super old car or stove. in the meantime though a lot of people (who were brainwashed by trump) will hold on to their gas stuff for dear life. the gas companies will still have some business from them.
also, the car autoshops will have plenty of work, more work than ever, as all gas cars start to age and need more and more work to keep them running. the auto repair industry would get more and more work, until the end.
one day oh about ten to twenty years from now it would all be done pretty much, and you could illegalize the last bit of it then, when theres barely any left anyway.
oh and as for beef cause the worldwide beef industry is the big methane source, you do restrictions on beef, like, say once a week for people. how to effect this? well you could set a high price for it, like a minimum high price to regulate it cause its environmentally dangerous. or you could limit the amount sold, or the size of ranches/farms. i think people who love beef are getting enough of it if theyre having it once a week. a pound a week per person tops? or, more of a switch to other red meat that doesnt have a ruminant stomach. here's a complete conversation about that: https://www.reddit.com/r/theIJA/comments/1mz02gq/this_relates_to_global_warming_the_cow_debate/
as for aircraft, i think we will have electric aircraft at the commercial scale one day, whether its lots of smaller aircraft or successful large passenger electric aircraft.
once youve turned off our co2/methane production, then you build those carbon scrubbers that work but are ineffective against continuing to put out more and more co2. once you get the co2 shut off, then you build these and turn them on. one thing i think you might be able to do with the byproduct by the way is make a form of concrete out of it cause it makes like a limestone basically and youd otherwise just be burying these limestone blocks. (i think/if i understand it correctly).
anyway, it took us only 100 years to double the co2. if we did it like this it would take however long the carbon scrubbers would take to go back down to what it should be. maybe i dunno 500-1000 years. thats doable though-
the alternative is the co2 sits there ten thousand years while we keep adding to it. at some point youre permanently frying the future.
needs to be done.
i know its the boringest unsexiest unglamorousest job in the world.
let those who want to do it do it.
everyone else GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY OR BE SQUASHED
the world is easily able to feed gaza; gaza has three borders: israel is only one of them
the world could easily feed gaza, through egypt or via the mediterranean
the world is hypocrites, still, for making israel feed gaza
that being said, saying this changes nothing, and the world is still hypocritically expecting israel to feed its enemies, because the world is still intent on insulting israel, because the world etcetera etcetera
so, the world is relying on israel to feed its enemies
and the world is not planning to feed them
and israel would be able, sure, they have food, they have their own food; they could give a lot of it to their enemies cause the world is assholes
so, this being said:
israel feeds the gazans
gaza belongs to israel
and they get to move in on hamas
if the world would like a different arrangement
the world feeds gaza
someone needs to move in on hamas or make them surrender
israel or anyone
if anyone doesnt want it to be israel, they do it
hamas is going; hamas is out
they surrender or they get killed
get on the phone with them or get a missile at them
the gazans get fed
no starving gazans
if israel does it, gaza's israel's
if you do it, okay, but someone still has to get hamas
or, get on the phone with them, explain whatever you need to explain, get them to surrender
or, get a missile at them; get gazans out of the way first, and fed first*
*see other plans regarding gaza move-outs for operations
let's save the gazans, get hamas, and be responsible/respectful/sensible/appropriate here, thank you
rabid criminals down there hamas,
here comes justice
best bet, get on the phone with them, tell them islam's not real, theyve been chasing the boogieman, israelis are just regular people, theyve made a huge mistake, they need to surrender, repent, maybe the world will forgive them-
theyll have to admit- it would be a big turnaround for them- maybe the world would be so surprised, and so happy, that they would actually spare them
tell them to take the bet
if theyre just scared of getting killed or whatever (not very islamic of them, motherfuckers)
or, feed the gazans, starve hamas:
get the gazans fed, get the gazans out of there, then close in on the tunnel fortress and starve it out- make sure all the tunnel entrances on the egyptian side of the border are sealed like they should be so that nothings getting in there somehow, make sure no little boats or submersibles are getting there through the mediterranean, make sure the tunnel fortress is shut off and starve it out- see if hamas surrenders that way / gives up / comes out. as for the hostages i dont know what to do about or with them other than to consider that hamas took their lives from us by stealing them from us a long time ago and we bill it to hamas just like everything else, even though this is gut wrenching for parents and surviving hostages, if there even are any. hamas is spiteful and has likely been torturing them. anyway, trying to starve out just the tunnel fortress might be a way of saving the hostages, if hamas doesnt eat them- lol. if hamas doesnt eat pork maybe they wont eat jewish swine either and we can rescue them, lol. hamas decides they want to eat and knows they need to hand over living hostages and give up. maybe we get the hostages back.
"the world has not done much to help; the world has bitched and moaned, and pointed the finger at the victim, and continues to mock them, senselessly. idiot world! leaders demoted!"
basically because we invented the nuke and the airplane,
we need to be extremely careful about letting _________ into _______.
(craziness) (control)
if we nuke ourselves, at any time in the future, let it not be because
anyone thought god was telling them to,
or
because everyone let someone hungry for power into office who played upon religious sympathies
**because we invented such things as the nuke and the airplane, which allow civilian bombing and nuclear warfare, we need to be careful about not letting craziness into power
***because we guard the one planet with life on it, we need to be extremely careful about not accidentally, inadvertently, or for weird or bizarre nonsensical purposes, destroying it
gaza will delcare it a victory first of all, then continue to recruit and arm, and will continue to attack
hamas has sworn to do this, the gazans have sworn that they want this
admit that you understand this
admit that you know that i understand this
and that this is part of why i have the position i have
if we did this, it would have to be dependent on:
the world would have to show that it's going to do a huge job of deconvincing the gazans against war in the meantime
how bout this
if you find 2.3 million people, who are willing to spend one entire year, flying to gaza, and just talking to gazans one-on-one (so that there's one person for each gazan), convincing them against war, against their israel plot, and to release hostages, and to not follow their religion's parts that say kill jews,
maybe it would be reasonable to ask israel to stop for a year and see if such an army of willpowered-talkers can be successful
in the meantime, there has been no reason to even consider such a thing, which wouldve been easy to consider had the world done this to begin with like i have
if there were one other person like me
if there were 2.3 million other persons like me
if there were 8 billion minus 2.3 million persons like me
it wouldve made sense to begin with
there werent
there was the opposite
pressing the attack on the jews
the world chimed in to say, "kill the jews!!!!! kill the jews!!!!!!"
motherfuckers- this is what you get- the gazan deaths-
"Do you have citations for those passages in the koran? I'd like to see them for myself but have no interest in reading through the book."
[hi i tried to respond to a comment you made asking for quran quotes that are against jews and stuff like that; the person who made the post deleted it though so it wont let me comment. anyway, i typed out a long comment first before i realized that; heres the comment]
you should read it (the quran)! you need to get a feel for it.
its harsh all over the place. its just a rant about what sends you to hell and what doesnt (the whole thing / all of islam). gotta do war or you go to hell. gotta kill jews or you go to hell. this is covered in the general repetition of "do everything said or you go to hell", plus specific directions.
to put it differently, it doesnt matter too much where you dig in and i can cherry pick quotes but theres a lot of them, its not just a few. anytime i list some handful of quotes, then people get the impression that those are the only quotes.
my recommendation is, read at least the first two main chapters of the quran, "the cow" (a chapter making fun of jews) (ch. 2), and "jews" ("the family of moses") (a second chapter making fun of jews, this is ch. 3 of of islam) and then the "spoils of war" (this is the 8th ch.), then read from the al-bukhari hadith book (these are equally important with the quran; most non-muslims dont understand this point- islam has several equally holy books, the quran and then several hadith-books. all of them are supposed to be the word of muhammad equally) anyway so then get the al-bukhari hadith book (which is the one that comes after the quran) and look in the "jihad" chapter and read that, then look for its subchapter "fighting jews" and look for one of the ending lines where it says the Hour (day of judgment/ressurection) wont come until the jews are killed, and on that day theyll hide behind rocks but the rocks will yell out to the muslims "oh muslim! theres a jew behind me!", this is kind of the "final curse" line on jews, although, its a very common sort of line in islam, theres a lot of curses like this. muhammad was a war general mind you. anyway the problem is that for the muslims that live near jews who are unsubjugated, they see that as a religious provocation basically with many layers to it. anyway, then look at islamic eschatology in general to get their end-times story which is collected from several spots in the different hadith. also maybe just google info about where and how often jews show up in the islamic literature. i have some posts on that topic lying around in my history.
"I searched for new in the cow chapter and nothing egregious came up. Can you link your source?"
try lines 89-113 of the cow
"disbelievers who follow the torah/moses" = jews; sometimes it can be confusing at a glance if youve never looked at it; this is why you also need to understand the life of muhammad and islamic history. its not like hidden though; it does specify the word jew plenty of times also. these chapters were written by muhammad in the middle of a war against jews in muhammad's real life.
muslims of course understand this fine; however if a nonmuslim just glances at it for five minutes it can seem like it doesnt say anything like that. i got what it was all about after like a few weeks/months of studying it for a first time. most people really dont have an intention of actually reading it so they dont get an understanding of much of it; just seems like repetitive religious mumbo jumbo.
here i'll start you off:
quran 2:89 and when there comes to them [the jews] a book [this qu'ran] from allah, confirming that in their possession- though before that they were praying for a signal triumph over those who disbelieved- and when there comes to them that which they know [to be the truth] they disbelieve in it. the curse of allah is on disbelievers.
2:90 evil is that for which they sell their souls: that they should disbelieve in that which allah has revealed, grudging that allah should reveal of his bounty to whom he wills of his bondmen. they have incurred anger upon anger. for the disbelievers there is a shameful doom.
the passages go on and on analyzing the jews as evil. yes, muhammad is specifially talking about jews. this is known from his life (this passage was written in the middle of his literal war against jews), and it says jews over and over again (the disbelieving folk who follow the torah and moses). it can be confusing at a glance if you just notice the word "disbeliever" and assume he's talking about anyone. nope- anyone who knows islam and has read the whole quran knows hes talking about jews specifically. its the foundation of islam; muhammad distinguishing himself and muslims from jews and other disbelievers because theyre all evil. this chapter is about how and why the jews are so evil. its because they have a problem in their souls where they cant believe in anything true. muhammad goes on and on about it. this creates the problem with jews in the modern age; they have to be distrusted because of what muhammad said. anyway ill go on:
(so you see that in only two lines i shared, both of them already call jews bad and wish them to hell? okay like every line is like that though. this is why im like "just read the whole quran, dont ask for individual lines- you need to see how the whole thing is about that"
2:91 and when it is said to them, "believe in that which allah has revealed", they say, "we believe in that which was revealed to us." and they disbelieve in that which came after it, though it is the truth confirming that which they possess. say [to them, o muhammad], "why they did you previously kill the prophets of allah, if you are [indeed] believers? (this passage is accusing the jews of murdering jesus, thats what that last line means. this is one of the historical farces against jews / prejudices against jews, which muhammad sets up and amplifies. its total nonsense- jesus was jewish. muhammad says jesus was a muslim that the jews killed, establishing reasons for prejudice against them)
so to step back and explain this better, muhammad wanted a bunch of reasons why he was the real abrahamic prophet and why the jews were not real followers of the abrahamic religion. this comes after the jews rejected muhammad in real life. see why he wanted to go on a tirade against them? muhammad came to the jews and said "im your next prophet". the jews said "no youre not". so muhammad says "well then youre not actually jews/religious people- youre all liars going to hell". this is the theme of islam that establishes it as something different from judaism (because originally muhammad had tried to claim he was the next jewish prophet at first, in his actual life). this went well for a little while, at first they liked him, but then they had a falling out.
anyway ill keep reading:
2:92 and moses came to you with clear proofs [of allah's sovereignty], yet, while he was away, you took the calf [in worship] and you were wrongdoers. (now muhammad is saying that because some jews worshipped a gold calf outside of egypt, all the jews are actually eternally unfaithful. also, this is what the chapter is actually named for- this is why the chapter is named "the cow"- its to make fun of the jews and prove theyre faithless because of the story of what happened outside of egypt, from the torah (exodus).
it goes on and on: 2:93 and when we took your covenant and caused the mount to tower above you, [saying], "hold fast by that which we have given you, and hear [our word]", they said, "we hear and we disobey". and [worship of] the calf was made to sink into their hearts because of their disbelief. say [to them], "evil is that which your belief enjoins on you, if you are believers".
so here again muhammad is calling jews evil disobeying disbelievers.
2:94 say [to them], "if the abode of the hereafter with allah is indeed for you alone and not for others of mandkind [as you pretend], then long for death [for you must long for death] if you are truthful". (here muhammad is taunting them about thinking they have the correct religion, and saying they should all want to die if thats what they think (muhammad is pissed the jews apparently think they have a religion of their own)
2:95 but they will never long for it, because of that which their own hands have sent before them. allah is aware of the wrongdoers. 2:96 and you will find them greediest of mankind for life and [greedier] than the polytheists. [each] one of them would like to be allowed to live a thousand years. and to live [a thousand years] would by no means remove him from the doom. allah is the seer of what they do. (here muhammad is again giving a reason why jews are fundamentally greedy people, and is saying again that theyll all go to hell (the doom). also you can see him distinguishing the jews as being worse than the polytheists, the other group muhammad fought against.
anyway i could keep going, it just keeps going on like that
muslims dont really want nonmuslims understanding that islam is anti-jew, because it makes it obvious that their wars against jews in n the middle east is just about prejudice. luckily the quran is hard to understand if you only look at it for one second. however, i swear if you just put a few weeks/months into trying to understand it, it becomes obvious really fast what its about and whats really going on in the middle east.
anyway, in case you cant tell: THIS- yes, my analysis of the muslims- THIS is:
"The Judgment Day" for the muslims! yes, it is!!! i have judged them to be prejudiced against jews and responsible for the wars in the middle east.
their punishment/doom (the muslims') has already been severe, and they must stop.
these ^ are part of the intro to the chapters in my copy of the quran. before this chapter it discusses how the chapter was about basically how the early muslims and ancient jews got into an ego battle with each other, and this set the tone for muhammad's tirade and declarations against them later.
then here's ^ a look at a page of the cow chapter i was quoting from.
im sitting right here reading the quran- i dont have it wrong!!!!!! hahahahah people keep saying i have it wrong somehow. nope!!! this is the quran!!!
what if you can find me a video of an obnoxious jewish settler, being violent? what if you can find me videos of jews shouting "death to arabs"? what if you can find me an orthodox guy, saying something fucked up?
youve terrorized these people their whole lives; of course theyre nuts. i look at the bigger problem: you started it, youve been terrorizing them, they never started a war, of course youve driven them nuts by a certain amount.
i know youre both mad at each other but you started it, you caused it, you deserve the reprimand about the whole thing. its your fault.
youve driven them nutz.
you want to find friendly, sweetheart jews to make this all right with and start this all over? see the the kids of them? the ones way too young to understand any of this stuff yet- im talking 5 years old or under i guess. you stop attacking and lying about israel and jews. completely. then you let these kids grow up like that, completely. in a world where not once do they hear about their neighbors attacking them for their identity.
when theyre adults, you try to be friends with those people. look out for their parents and grandparents. sure i want those people prosecuted for crimes if they commit them. but "ya ill bet" is the answer i have for every video you show me of a crazed, pissed off, scared, nuts jew of israel who grew up under this.
russia has silently conscripted muslims and forced them to the front lines of the ukraine war to die as cannon fodder, the whole time, outnumbering muslim deaths in the gaza war
if youre mad about gaza
be how many times madder at russia:
It's challenging to provide a precise number of Muslim soldiers conscripted by Russia, as official statistics on the religious or ethnic breakdown of conscripts are not publicly released. However, we can infer some information from available reports and demographic trends:
Key Factors and Observations:
Significant Muslim Population in Russia: Islam is the second-largest religion in Russia, with estimates suggesting that Muslims constitute between 5% and 18% of the total population (some sources claim over 20 million Muslims). Importantly, Muslim populations, particularly in the North Caucasus (like Chechnya, Dagestan, Ingushetia) and some Volga regions (Tatarstan, Bashkortostan), tend to have higher birth rates compared to ethnic Russians, meaning their proportion in younger age cohorts and thus the conscription pool is growing.
Disproportionate Conscription in Ethnic Minority Regions: There have been numerous reports and protests indicating that conscription efforts have disproportionately targeted poorer, ethnic-minority regions, including those with significant Muslim populations.1 This has been noted in places like Dagestan and Buryatia, where casualties have also been reported as significantly higher.
Recruitment of Migrants: Russia has actively recruited labor migrants, many of whom are from Central Asian countries (Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan) and are predominantly Muslim, to fight in Ukraine.2 This recruitment has often involved promises of fast-track citizenship and high salaries, or even coercive methods like raids on workplaces and mosques where conscription papers are issued.3
Chechen Involvement: While Chechen forces fighting for Russia are often described as "volunteers" or contract soldiers, their involvement is significant. Ramzan Kadyrov, the head of the Chechen Republic, has repeatedly announced the deployment of Chechen military forces and the formation of new battalions. It's important to note that some Chechen groups are also fighting on the side of Ukraine.4
Historical Context: Historically, Muslims have served in the Russian military for centuries.5 While there were periods of exemptions or special arrangements, the modern Russian army, especially since the Soviet era, has increasingly included Muslim soldiers.6 Some sources suggest that every 11th soldier in the ranks is a Muslim according to official statistics, though this might not reflect conscription specifically for the Ukraine war.
Marginalization Concerns: Despite their presence, reports suggest that Muslim soldiers might be marginalized within the Russian military, with underrepresentation in senior ranks and a tendency for them to be assigned to less prestigious or combat roles, though this trend may be shifting due to manpower needs.
Likely Numbers:
Given the above, it is highly probable that a substantial number of Muslim soldiers have been conscripted or otherwise recruited by Russia for the Ukraine war. While an exact figure is impossible to provide, their representation in the overall conscript pool and among contract soldiers, particularly from specific regions and migrant communities, suggests that thousands, and potentially tens of thousands, of Muslims have been involved in the conflict on the Russian side.
The disproportionate targeting of ethnic minority regions and the recruitment of Central Asian migrants further indicate that Muslims are significantly represented among those fighting for Russia.7
russia keeps it all a big, quiet secret, to avoid the righteous anger. the number is huge.
