[TD="class: alt2"] [HR][/HR] he predicament of the Circassians - a mostly Muslim people who self-identify as Adyghe - originates in the 19th century, when an expanding Imperial Russia coveted their mountainous homeland. The Circassians fought so tenaciously that the Russians decided to remove them, either by death or deportation. The Circassians describe this operation as the first modern genocide and the figures cited to us were almost unbelievable.

Of a population of 2.5-3 million Circassians, the Circassians told us, around 1.5 million were killed and roughly the same number expelled, of which around half died within months of famine and disease. These figures were corroborated by many scholars from around the world.

Only a very small number of Circassians survived in the Caucasus and today, 90 per cent of the world's 5-6 million Circassians live in the global diaspora, while around 700,000 are split between three Russian republics.

The Circassians have been outraged by the selection of Sochi, a Russian resort city on the Black Sea, to host the 2014 Winter Olympic Games. Sochi was the site of the Circassian capital and the area where the Ubykh tribe made the Circassian "last stand" in 1864. The Olympics will be held on the 150th anniversary of these mass killings.

Youghar told us that the corpses of hundreds of thousands of people lie just beneath the ground and those digging in the area are finding human remains. He described Sochi as "the land of the shaheed", an honoured designation for those martyred in the cause of Islam. The Sochi Olympics, in other words, will be played on a gigantic graveyard with profound religious significance.

The Russian government, said Youghar, does not recognise that a genocide occurred. Nor does it appear to recognise that Circassians even lived in Sochi. When President Vladimir Putin gave his speech to the International Olympic Committee in 2007 to secure Russia's bid, he described Sochi as a place inhabited by ancient Greeks with no mention of the Circassians. The Olympics, noted Youghar with pain and sorrow in his voice, represented the "final nail in the coffin" of his people.

It was not always like this. The Circassians were once world-famous, the dominant force in the region and the fountainhead of Caucasian culture. They were recognised as having an ancient heritage even by the Greeks, who ironically competed with Circassians in the original Olympic Games. Circassian gods and mythology, as recounted in heroic tales known as the Nart sagas, also resemble those of the Greeks. [HR][/HR] [/TD]

[TD="class: alt2"] [HR][/HR] n the 18th century, Russia acted to exert direct control over Circassia by military conquest and was met with fierce resistance. Over time, the Circassian tribes began to more efficiently organise and formally declared Circassian independence, which was recognised by Britain in 1838.

By the 1860s, however, the Circassians proved unable to hold out any longer against Russia. One by one, the Circassian tribes were decimated with thousands killed, their lands settled by Cossacks, Slavs and others. [HR][/HR] [/TD]

Underground Mooslamic sect discovered in Russia...

Into the light: Kids from Russian subterranean sect surface after 10 years
9 Aug.`12 - Led by a self-proclaimed prophet, more than 70 members of a reclusive Muslim sect, including 20 children, have spent a decade in an eight-level catacomb in Russia's Tatarstan without access to education, healthcare or even daylight.[/i]

 

in fact the Tchercassians were brutal bandits that robbed and kidnapped people, but thanks to the Russian Empire, these animals' practices have been curbed.

 

Mooslamic underground caliphate now faces cruelty to children charges...

Russian Muslim 'catacomb sect' faces cruelty charges
8 August 2012 - Members of the sect could be seen at the gate of the house

 

The full story of who and why they destroyed Circassia should be presented.

Many Circassians lived in Iraq until the USA attacked them.

In the mean time HATO's terrorists are attacking Circassians in Syria.

Some Circassians are considering to flee to Russia.

Glimpse into underground sect that shocked Russia
14 Aug.`12 — Authorities spoke of a creepy cult living in an "eight-level ant house" dug deep into the ground, where children were kept in unheated cells and starved of daylight. A visit to the compound suggests a more ordinary reality.
