[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was a study that the majority Of Americans are not informed enough to stereotype chechens

Well, as a "barely educated" American ( BS degree from public university) here is what I have picked up about Chechnya over the years just from reading the newspaper:

1) It borders the former USSR Republics of Khazakhistan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgistan ( excuse my ignorant American spelling)
2) Historically muslim since the time of Timerlain, the Czar used these people as horseman in his infantry d/t their historic and legendary rep for being fierce and determined fighters ( note the name of the older brother)

3) During the break up of USSR, Checnyans , who always resented Soviet hegemony, fought for independance and did this fighting the old fashioned way, lacking a civilian army ( terrorism)

4) This coincided with Bosnian war in which Muslims were being attached by Serbs ( Orthodox Christians historically allied w/ Russia since 13th century)

5) this also dove tailed the SSI/ Saudi/ CIA backed Mujahaddin fighting in Afghanistan against the Soviets

( all of this formed a training camp tr-feca) and funnel for young unemployed muslim youth from Saudi, Yemen, and UK and other places to come to Checnya to train to fight Jihad

6) flash forward a decade or so and naiive little USA is pretty clueless as to who is a former collaborator Checnyan ( who worked for Soviets as the Boston family seems to have done , given their alliance to the current Chenyan leader who is a Russian puppet) and b) who is a bonafide Chechnyan fighter aka " terrorist" Or given the schizoid nature of Soviet society over the last 80 years, can not one be both ?

My guess is we are still at the Kindergarten level in divining this sort of "intelligence" and we naiively grant "refugee status" to the WRONG people who pull the wool over our eyes ALL THE TIME, just like this family seems to have done.

You! Barely educated American! If you are dedicating such an enviable effort to studying the people, at least learn this:

Their proper description: Chechens.  Not Chenyans. Not Checnyans.  Not any other number of permutations your fingers have concocted.  Chechens. [/quote]
