'Qaddishuta', 'The Assyrian Haji!' Posted By: Kakovitch <ivankakovitch@aol.com> (cache-ntc-ad01.proxy.aol.com) Date: Sunday, 22 February 2004, at 9:47 a.m. 'Qaddishuta', The Assyrian Haji!' In the Islamic religion, all one has to do to become trusted, adored and respected, is to make a Pilgrimage, at least, once in a lifetime, to the Holy City of Mecca. The Pilgrims of Mecca are bestowed with the title of ‘Haji’, deriving from the word ‘Hajj’ [Pilgrimage]. Now, the Assyrians have been blessed with an equally flamboyant splendor in strata and legacy of legitimacy in benediction of self-redemption, by merely taking the trip to Baghdad. Needless to say, that a picture or two with a high-ranking member of Zowaa, will sway a great deal of zealous Assyrians into an anachronistic rumination, thus, conveying their signs of approval of those same Pilgrims. Yes, the ‘Assyrian Haji’ is the mode of the day, and, perhaps even, the trend to fashion. CONCLUSION: 1. Rush to your banks. 2. Empty your savings accounts. 3. Obtain travel documents. 4. And, there you go. 5. Purchase a round-trip ticket to Baghdad. 6. Pre-book a few days stay in one of the luxury hotels left in Baghdad. 7. Purchase a small gift for aZowaa member. 8. Upon return, send a picture or two, to be posted on the web of Zinda Magazine. Et Voilà! You are an ‘Assyrian Haji’. A ‘Qaddisha’, Saint, so to speak. REWARDS: A podium or dais, or two, shall be allocated for your intriguing report, and you will be faced with a thundering applause from the audience, and who knows, perhaps even, a standing ovation. Kakovitch GOOD LUCK! --------------------- |
