Armouchian sounds Armenian.

[John H K]

Both the first and last names are Armenian.

It's fairly funny, you can tell a few people get really jazzed when they see it's one of dem funny-lookin' furriner names but then you find out that there are no Muslim Armenians and it's an entirely Christian country and population.

Of course, now people are clinging to him either 1) being a Muslim convert, which is a real stretch or 2) the name being fake.

Armouchian sounds Armenian.

There have been a lot of immigrants to California over the last 10 years, refugees from Muslim encroachment in formerly Soviet controled areas.

These newcomers are not as welcome;organized crime syndicates have been rumoured. Also, there was an Armenian terrorists group aligned with the PLO some years back. There may be a connection here.

This deserves further attention.
