Haha, you needn't worry. I am not a muslim. I just want you to know that our country is friendly.

Hey, do they burn or hang fags in your country?

Don't mind him, he's being a dumbass.

From what I've read, Kyrgyzstan sounds like a pretty cool place. I'm pretty interested in this "Epic of Manas" I've read about. It sounds pretty cool.

Is it a religious story, or is it just a tale of a hero similar to other epics?

Yes, "Epic of Manas" is just a tale of a Kyrgyz hero like Homer's "Iliyada" and "Odiseya" (sorry, if i write wrong in english). And this epic has two sequels - "Semetei" (son of Manas) and "Seitek" (son of Semetei). I'll try to find electronic version this books in enghish.
Unfortunately, I badly know all history of Kyrgyzstan and kyrgyz's culture in spite of the fact that I live in this country. But if you have a questions, I'll try to give an answer.

Hmm, ok. Well hi! Oh, and didn't anyone else notice some flaming in here...."he's just being a dumbass", i think that could be considered flaming!!...

From what I've heard, Epic of Manas is incredibly, incredibly long, compared to either the Iliad or the Oddessy. Aren't there special "singers" that sing the Epic of Manas or something like that?
