Religions in Azerbaijan
Any useable pictures would be appriciated

in the Islamic part, (Islam is represented by such trends as Shi'ism, Sunnism and Shafi'ism in Azerbaijan.) The term "Sunnism and Shafi'ism" is wrong as long as Shafi'ism is a branch of Sunnism so "Shi'ism & Sunnism" would be enough. --212.24.224.18 03:11, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Exacly nobody is discussing it and yet its to be deleted, I removed it untill somebody actually explains.

Blatant POV
The section on tolerance of religion is not only overly long for a Wikipedia article but contains blatantly biased statements, such as references to "irreconcilable Armenians" and calling Azeris "our compatriots." Please note that Wikipedia and its articles are for an international audience, not the citizens of any single country. In addition, no statement at all in the section is backed up with a source of any description. The 2004 U.S. state report on human rights in Azerbaijan noted several abuses of religious freedom, including harassment of both Christians and Muslims, which is at odds with the description given in this article. -- Augustgrahl 17:08, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

"Albanian-Udi church" section

Irreligion
How can Azerbaijan be "one of the most irreligious countries in the world with about 50% of respondents indicating the importance of religion in their life as little or none" and yet "Approximately 93.4% of the population of Azerbaijan identifies as Muslim"? I mean the clash of these two statements needs to be resolved. Unless I'm confusing "religion" with "religiosity." Wolfdog (talk) 03:05, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I made a wikilink ("irreligious") in the article; hopefully it will clarify. And yes, you are confusing; good that you are aware of this possibility: not many can criticize themselves. A very large proportion of people in non-"theocratic" countries associate themselves with this or that religion primarily for cultural/heritage reasons. Yceren Loq (talk) 00:07, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, I think I perceived a conflict based on quite obvious semantic incongrutities. The article says that the people do not "identify (in some either vague or intimate way) with Islam" but rather, they "identify as Muslim"...meaning that these people specifically characterize themselves as members of a very particular religion. To say later that most are irreligious is certainly a perplexing comment--no argument about that from what I see. To associate (for example, culturally) with a religion I feel is different than to call oneself a member of a religion, as I think you were trying to explain. (One can participate in a culture that is largely Christian-influenced, for example, without considering themself a Christian). On your link page, irreligion is defined as "an absence of, indifference towards, or hostility towards religion." It quite clearly contradictory that a person who would identify as Muslim would also claim to experience a lack of or indifference/hostility towards Islam. Once again, perhaps the study should be worded not as examining religion vs. irreligion, but rather, religiosity (see this link) vs. non-religiosity. Perhaps the study itself, however, was worded in this kind of a vague (and thus, somewhat misleading) way. Wolfdog (talk) 00:14, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Religious Azerbaijani monuments destroyed by Armenians
This section look extremely biased anti-Armenian, along with some other expressions used in the article (mosques in Nagorno-Karabakh are described as abandoned or destroyed while Armenian churches in Azerbaijan are just told to be "damaged"). Should this kind bias really remain in this article? --87.64.59.129 (talk) 13:42, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
