: What planet are you living on? First, there is a death penalty for conversion AWAY from Islam.
***That is Islamīs business...who the fuck asked you? Are you eager to marry a Muslim that you find just this part of Islam so offensive? What do Christian Iraqis do to one of their daughters if she elopes with a Muslim...what if she is raped by one? Youīre like the cannibal who thinks heīs first class cause he eats with a fork.
Second, who will bring the Christian word but a Christian? How is the Iraqi suppose to make the free choice if the choice is never presented to him in the first place?
***I donīt think anyone on the planet doesnīt know there is a pope in Rome...or has any difficulty turning Christian these days. The point is that Christians are a corrupting force everywhere they go...look what they just did to Iraq.
Third, you need to stop, step back and think about your cultural heritage. In the final analysis, you as an Assyrian are shaped by your Christianity and your Christian heritage,
***THAT is exactly the problem...you have indeed been shaped by Cjhristianity into a pointy-headed Troglodyte...about as cowardly and smelly a person as one could wish for...one who is filled with self-loathing and for very good reason...in your case EXCELLENT reasons...who only "values" the Assyrian heritage because it made a good "sacrif9ice"...like Christ did...like the firstborn sons of doofus Hebrews did when they slit their throats...the cross was a Roman device.
The Assyrian Heritage owes nothing to Christianity...not a goddamn thing...the Christian heritage owes itself to Christianity...in other words Judaism...keep it.
***Iraq IS Assyria...religion notwithstanding...or language...enough of our idiot Youth live in Chicago and donīt speak Assyrian.
and before that your glorius pre-Christian (and pre-Arab/Muslim) heritage, and that has much more in common with ANY OTHER Christian of the world than with any Muslim.
***Bullshit. Muslims...and Assyrians before them, didn{t go turning the cheek...they didnīt ignore life on this planet in a rush to shame their way into a Jew heaven. The militancy and tolerance of Islam are MUCH closer to the Assyrian way than the namby pamby mush that created you.
: I am for a secular, democratic Iraq, in which people of all race, creed and religion can live in freedom and with freedom of choice.
***More bullshit...you are for an Iraq that looks a lot like your miserable forum...a place where the likes of you can FINALLKY get some "respect"...because you can delete and run for cover. You canīt even tolerate a free and pluralistic DISCUSSION...what the hell do you know about democracy?
As it stands now, there is no such thing, and there are severe Muslim penalties for inter-faith marriages and conversion. This is not freedom of worship. When a Muslim is free to convert without fear of death, when a Muslim woman can marry a Christian (and convert), when a Christian has equal protection in the eyes of the law, then we will have a truly free society.
