Over the centuries, untold numbers of Christian Armenians have
converted to Islam. The vast majority have done so under various degrees
of pressure and given the exigencies of the time.
While relatively subtle on occasion, the imperative to convert to a
religion mostly regarded as the faith of the “enemy” was often clear-cut
– convert or perish.
Over the past decade or so, a new sub-grouping of Armenians, either called Islamized of Muslim Armenians, has come to the fore.
