Jassim is looking for people to translate this "history" into every known language you can lie in....It`s pure propaganda and disinformation. Right now they`re pleases as piss that the ruin of Iraq has given them a litle public press...Aprim lists all the times Assyrians are mentioned in the media...let them enjoy their brief moment and get all the aufience they can..then watch it turn to infamy as they try to explain how they know for sure that all Assyrians HAVE to be Christians. They`ve heard this repeated so often and simply banned anyone who questioned it to the point that they believe it`s a proven fact.

Just wait till growed-ups begin to question them..when they run from them...they`re status as the sons of bitches they are, instead the sons of Ashurbanipal they claim to be will be complete.






Assyrians
Frequently Asked Questions

...there are many miore questions that will be frequently as ked of you...just wait. And see if you can delete those peole as easily.

Q: Who are the Assyrians?

A: A semitic peoples indigenous to North Iraq; builders of the great Mesopotamian civilizations; ethnically distinct from Arabs and Jews (the other semitic poeples of the region).

..they aren`t ethnically different at all...you make the same mistake all Fascsists do...you think a culture is an ethnicity. Getting away with that you next claim an ethnic group can only be...MUST only be, of one religion..the Christian religion...that about shoots your ethnic bullshit to hell.

Q: What language do they speak?

A: They currently speak modern Assyrian (also known as neo-Syriac), which is the oldest extant language, and was the lingua franca of the Middle East until 900 A.D., when it was supplanted by Arabic (except among Assyrians). Before this they spoke Akkadian (the switch from Akkadian to Aramaic was completed by 750 B.C.). Modern Assyrian is written right to left, and has a lot of Akkadian vocabulary and influence in it.

...they currently speak English and any other language of the Christian countries they`ve been forced to run to where they can be Christian 24 hours a day all the time. More and more of their children do not and will not speak any Mideastern language at all..so much for ethnicity.

Q: What is their religion?

A: All Assyrians are Christians.


...the patended absurdity of this claim is goung to become more and more obvious the more public notice they get....Assyrians follow Ashur....Christians follow Christ and whatever political group Christ is blessing.

They belong to three main Assyrian churches: 1) The Assyrian Church of the East ("Nestorian"), established in 33 A.D. by Theodos, Thomas, and Bartholomew; 2) the Assyrian Orthodox Church ("Jacobite"), established in 450 A.D.; 3) the Chaldean Church of Babylon (Roman Catholic), established in 1552 A.D.

...there are no Assyrian "churches"..there never were and there never can be. Until there are Assyrian mosques and Assyrian synagogues...

Q: Where do they live?

A: The majority of Assyrians live in their ancestral homeland, which is now part of Iraq, Iran, Syria and Turkey. Here is a geographical breakdown

...no they don`t. You can say it all you want and write it down too. This is another attempt to bolster feeble claims to your right to the homes of others. The majority of Christians Arabs...hehehehe...have been forced to run for thir lives in increasing numbers because of the things Western Christians, in the name of the same Christ...have been doing to the Muslims of the MidEast. And whatever language you translate this into...it still comes out loud and clear..."RUN"!!

Iraq 1,500,000
Syria 700,000
USA 400,000
Armenia 15,000
Iran 50,000
Brazil 80,000

Italy 3,000
Other 100,000

...having decided they must all be Christians...these are important Christian dates.

A: March 21st, Assyrian New Year. The Assyrian year is now 6747 (1997 A.D.). August 7th, Assyrian Martyrs day.

A Brief History of the Assyrian Churches


For a breif history of Assyrians, see here.


Introduction

Assyrians of today belong to three major churches: the Holy Apostolic Catholic Assyrian Church of the East ("Nestorian"), The Assyrian Orthodox Church ("Jacobite") and the Chaldean Church of Babylon ("Chaldeans", who are Roman catholic uniates). Precise numbers are difficult to estimate, but there are about 800,000 members in the Church of the East, 1,000,000 members in the Chaldean Church, and about 700,000 members in the Assyrian Orthodox Church.

...the rest of this comes from Syriac Manuscripts which no one considers any sort of source for history..that`s why you`ll only find them taught at Theological "Schools" where they have the nerve to hand out diplomas for memoring this propaganda.

Beginnings

The Assyrian Church of the East (hence forth ACE), whose official name is the Holy Apostolic Catholic Assyrian Church of the East, was established in 33 A.D. by the apostles Thomas (Toma in Assyrian), Theodos (Addai in Assyrian), and Bartholomew (Bar Tulmay in Assyrian). The first Patriarch of ACE was Addai, although Thomas and Bartholomew are also officially listed as the first Patriarchs (see Table of Apostolic Succession below).

ACE spread from the Assyrian city Arbela (in North Iraq; Arbela means "Four Gods" in Assyrian) to the surrounding areas of Persia, Syria, and Iraq, and later became centered in Seleucia-Ctesiphon (just south of Baghdad). Through an incredible missionary enterprise, ACE became the largest Church in the world by the 12th century, extending from Syria to China, Korea, Japan, and the Phillipines. ACE was overwhelmed by the Mongol Timurlane and after the thirteenth century could never recover its past glory. It was reduced to a small church in the Assyrian heartland in North Iraq.

The significant achievements of ACE include the first University in the world (Nisibis), and the incredible translation movement of its clergy and laity, which saw the translation of all the major Greek works of science, philosophy and religion into Assyrian (then into Arabic), and which produced original Assyrian thinkers who wrote extensively and diversely

The First Division

ACE was centered in the Sassanid empire, which was rival to the Byzantine empire to the west. Political tension between the two empires separated Eastern from Western Christians, and doctrinal disputes over the nature of Christ (monophysites/diophysites) further distanced the Christian communities. The monophysitic movement gained a stronghold in the Byzantine realm and the Church of the East divided along these geopolitical/doctrinal lines by 450 A.D. -- The Assyrian Orthodox Church (AOC) was born. The term "monophysite", although widely used, is incorrect; the correct term is henophysite.

The Second Division

In 780 A.D. there occurred a division in AOC, and Mar Maron took his followers from Syria and settled in Mount Lebanon, founding the Maronite Church. The Christians of Lebanon are known as "Maronites", after Mar Maron. The Maronite Church has since become a Roman Catholic Uniate.

The Third Division

In 1552 A.D. there arose a debate over how the Patriarch of ACE should be chosen. The Patriarch had been elected, but a faction in the Church desired that the Patriarchate become hereditary. The Hereditary faction lost its dispute and as a result sough allegiance with the Catholic Church of Rome. The Roman church made the hereditary faction Roman Catholic Uniates and called the new church the Chaldean Church of Babylon (CCB), to distinguish it from ACE. But in an interesting reversal, the hereditary faction returned fifty years later and took control of ACE, and the election faction took control of CCB.
