message: Hey what's up Anas,
I've been trying to edit this very beautiful and well-researched article for ages!!!But I kept on getting afflicated with this "lazy" syndrome...anyways can you check your sources regarding Ottoman conscription of Christians, because this has not come up with my research..the Ottomans mostly conscripted poor muslims...muslims from notable families did not join the ottoman army..Christians had to pay the jizeyea tax..
and then you mention a "religious conflict" that took place in 1960's Syria..that's very interesting!!...this religious conflict was between who? Are you talking about Syrian state discrimination against the extremely tiny Jewish community??  George Al-Shami (talk) 03:31, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Unfortunately, I do not have any of the printed sources I used when I wrote this article. If you have any reliable sources that contradict any statements in this article, feel free to present them here for discussion. And don't worry about it, we've all been there; look at me, I've been practically inactive for over half a year. :) Cheers, Anas talk? 01:21, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Conscription

message: Both the Ernest McCarus and Alixia Naff sources say that the early Syrian immigrant were majority Christian and minority Muslim, no one says that there was a Jewish minority, so can anyone provide an accessible source or quotation from the inaccessible and inconsistent "A Community of Many Worlds: Arab Americans in New York City, Museum of the City of New York/Syracuse University Press, 2002" source about this. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 19:47, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

message: I'll be taking this page on a bit, I'm mostly focusing on pre-1965 at the moment but I think it could use a major update and will try to incorporate more contemporary sources soon. Owlsmcgee (talk) 00:10, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
