Looking at the country of Kyrgyzstan & how Islam has now come to dominate that which previously had a strong Christian influence. It is a mountainous country, even at places more beautiful than Switzerland, but more wild and rugged...probably the best kept secret for travelers and tourism.

  • This guy has no clue about Central Asia. Islam was a very deep part of Central Asia until the Soviets forced atheism onto its occupied territories. The reason people know less about Islam, because of the many years of Soviets regime which forced atheism. However, after independence from the Soviets, Islam is currently on the rise on Central Asian countries.

  • Uzbeks are Sunni and Turkic speaking as are the Muslims in West China. This mans ignorance is beyond words!

  • yo isn't this Borats homeland lmao?

  • This guy is epic

  • I am Kyrgyz, i was born and raised in Bishkek. Honestly, there was probably only one thing he was right about-- yes, most of the people in KG are nominal Muslims. the rest of his words....hmmmm.....nonsense. our language was NOT influenced by Turkic language. it IS a Turkic language. Regarding three days of funerals, its NOT christian influence, it is the same thing in Islam. Islam and Christianity (and Judaism) are sister religions, we have a loooot of similarities. Ramadan Mubarak!

  • @farhadtajikan You cannot say that as he is there in Central Asia. Look at Turkey. They are barely Muslim.

  • Every debate I've seen so far between a Muslim and Christian scholar, the Christian loses. Its hopeless as theres too much stacked against Christianity from every angle. They seem to be only helping Islam.

  • Ramadan Mubarak to our Kyrgyz, Uzbek, Uygur and Dungan brothers!

  • What planet does this nutcase live on? Kyrgyz are Muslim since the 10th century like Uzbeks, Kazakhs, Tatar, Chinese Muslims they are Sunni Muslim. In Kazakhstan the Government has been cracking down on these Missionaries and most people don't like these kind of 'tourists'. Anyway the teachings of Jesus are better preserved in Islam: Jesus used to fast for over a month, he never ate pork. he prayed like Muslims as in the garden of Getsemny, he was circumcised etc.

  • It amazes me the violence that people react with. Such hatred in people. If your way is truly from God, & if God is able to do all things, why not be peacable & let God be the Judge?

    Why be violent? It shows you dont trust God to work justly, or you fear debate. If a way is true, it should not threaten dialogue but welcome it.

    Islam will never be valid until people are allowed to leave it without risk of death, family shame or other punishment. Open debate, remove fear & see the result.

  • All the muslim fuckers, GTFO. Islam is destroying all the good traditions of others peoples, it destroys everythings. It's a disgrace for humanity. This man is telling the truth. You are retarded narrowmind caveman from the middle ages, so fuck off.

  • .....and Qatar.
