| Message | I disagree with the purposed changes. We are an Islamic country, one who is hostile to Zionism. I doubt there will be a large hebrew population in it. I do not think we should base our language on turkish, rather Arabic or Persian. Your percentages don't add up. I think we should make Majatran the major language as the major language |

| Message | OOC: Not all muslims are anti-zion and please use OOC. It's hard to translate Farsi and Arabic/Majatran is overused. It's how many people speak that language, not neccesarily as a first or everyday language. |

| Message | OOC: The number don't add up either, you reach more than 150% |

| Message | OOC: You don't understand the percentage thing, people are allowed to be multi-lingual. There was a discussion. http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=247155 |

| Message | OOC: History shows that Jewish people have lived in Barmenistan since before Islam and before independence. |

| Message | OOC: hey RAFB, maybe you have actually participated in the discussion properly then. It wasn't "jammed down people's throats without a discussion" you fool, we had a quite comprehensive and productive discussion on it. |
| Date | 12:16:24, April 14, 2009 CET | From | Brmékai Krsyiji Prta | To | Debating the Barmenik-Yiddish Declaration |
| Message | OOC: The Schultzist are correct, Jews (and Ebionite Christians who also speak Hebrew) have lived in Northern Barmenistan for centuries. While it may be true in our World that Muslims hate Jews because of the establishment of Israel, the main conflict in Beiteynu is between is Catholics and Jews, so there is no reason for a majority Islamic country to hate the Jews just for being Jews. It's actually supposed to be the last Barmenian Caliphate that invited the Jews to live there. And as the T-RP said, can those who oppose please get involved in the discussion so we can come up with numbers everyone likes? |

| Message | OOC: Okay, well can I recommend that people subscribe to bill discussions on the message board page? Sorry if I sound like an ass, but it is useful. |
