Yeesh, I wonder if there are any remaining Circassian Muslims who think Russia respected their religion.

During that 100-300 years ago period, empires were always killing. Human history is awful.

Note that there are 14, or 20, or 25 million Russian Moslems depending on whose counting, but the lowest figure is still the most in Europe. Islam is recognised as an original religion along with Christianity, Judaism, and Buddhism , and receives funding from the State.

This I felt was the closest that Tucker came to attempting to stick in a “gotcha” question. I know his wife is I believe an Episcopalian pastor but he hasn’t made it a habit to do theological discussion in his interviews.

I wondered at that, and thought that he was just playing to the fake Republican Christians back home.

The bias is extreme i.e. imagining the USA as a Christian country and that it turns the other cheek.

That’s why I made the “gotcha” comment. It just came out of nowhere and didn’t make any sense.
