My mom told her boss/friend that iam i plan to join FFL, he said they dont take Azerbaijanians because they are Muslim is this true?

[Tiki]

dude u don`t have to worry about that i`m a muslim too (not a extreme one)
I kenw also few albanians that were in FFL they don`t seem to have a problem with religion
But if u are an extreme one well......u never know.
Still my belief is that just believe in ureself and u can achieve great results

there is no rule about religion in the FFL, it doesnt matter what you are. but at the same time, you must be prepared to give up your 5 times a day prayer, and of course you will be eatting what everyone else eats, and that includes pork.

and lot´s and lot´s of alcohol.. freetime is another thing but if I remember
it correctly there is a mandatory ritual involving beer after some big
achiement.. don´t recall what it was.. Kepi or last day in Castel.. something
like that.

alcohol and muslims dilemma was on the "finn in the foreign legion" pages
before they very shut down. A muslim asked the same question on the
Q&A -forum and the finn answered that there was one muslim who also
had not ever tasted alcohol but there is this tradition which involves
having a beer with the superior ranking guys. If I only could remember
what occasion that was.. help anyone? Anyways, I got the impression
that it´s tradition so there is no way around it.

day comes ;)
