God Hates Azerbaijan. From 1920 until 1991 Azerbaijanis had to live with the Soviet system of iron fisted rule with no freedom of religion. When they got their freedom from that oppression, do you think they thanked God for delivering them? No! Instead they turned back to the false religion of their ancestors and began a frenzy of mosque-building despite their poverty and political instability. Worshiping the true God would have been the smarter move, dummies!
