Question
[edit]I can hardly understand the meaning of this sentence: It used to serve the Ingush residents of Vladikavkaz before the Muslim community was expelled from Ossetia in the 1990s. Please explain:
- Does this sentence mean that the mosque used to serve only Ingush residents?
- Who was expelled? All the Muslim community (i.e. Ossetians, Ingush people, the people of Dagestan living in Vladikavkaz)?
Thanks. Taamu (talk) 21:37, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
- I think the Ossetes are predominantly Christian. See here for some context. --Ghirla-трёп- 06:01, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
- This sentence can be misunderstood, because:
- 1) the Mosque serves all the Muslim community in North Ossetia;
- 2) there was a conflict between the Ossete and Ingush people, but not between Christians and Muslims;
- 3) there are Ossetians practicing Islam and they hadn't been expelled.
- Awaiting for your comments. Taamu (talk) 11:29, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
- You are free to change it however you see fit. Though I think it's fairly clear that with the expulsions the mosque has lost most of its former parishioners. --Ghirla-трёп- 14:14, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
- I do not have any data concerning the number of parishioners, their nationalities. For me the most important thing is to avoid any kind of confusion. I would say that this sentence means that the Mosque used to serve only Ingush people, then they were expelled and there is no more Muslims in North Ossetia.
