...I see it finally. But first we have to put to rest the notion that if you're Muslim and your religion came from Arabia then you are an Arab...a thousand times I've said if that were true than a Christian anywhere is really an Israeli because HIS religion comes from Israel...obvious foolishness...but you have to establish it every time.

In cities such as Baghdad where government schools and then colleges were available a Christian could go to "school" in a church basement for only so long...with all those centers for advanced education and degrees we wouldn't expect much of the Christian who stopped school at his church then got a job driving a taxi..not much "education" there...but a LOT of religion...not to mention income from the faithful who only know religion so it stays everything to them.

Gradually, as part of its modernization efforts and to make Iraq into a world class nation, the government built schools in smaller towns and then villages...this was an opportunity for the children but a disaster for the Churche. Naturally since Arabic was the school language and the children were now taught in THAT language..the Church said the goverment was "Arabizing" THEIR Christians...what that meant was that just by getting a higher education you were now a TRAITOR to the Church and since the church IS their idea of a nation..you can see why loyalty to the Christian Church means you HAVE to stay dumb and uneducated but PROWD...like all ignorant people disdain those with "book larnin'". And THAT'S the reason these fervent "nationalists" who talkalot are SO fucking stupid.

The churches were tugging in an entriely different direction..they were a backwards force in the villages trying to keep Christians "pure",,,educated in the "REAL" language of Christians..the one Christ spoke, (which was nowhere used and certainly not in any university0..and NOT this heathen tongue of the Opressor who was now oppressing the Church by building real schools for advanced education.

Village graduates of a Christian madrassha went on now to a high school where Christianity AS NATIONAL HISTORY was not taught...instead an attempt was being made to make a solid nation of Iraq in which all pulled together for the common good and not for THEIR religion(which is just what the boys call for now only none of them know how to do it)..and this went for Muslims as well..and Kurds too who added a whole other ethnciity to the problem..trying to forge one united nation was Iraq's aim because THAT's what was staring it in the face..a whole lot of Christian European UNITED nations who presented ONE face to any opposing force that had their oil.

When the church clashed with the government,..when their religious education got in the way of the drive for national unity..and the nation was Muslim after all...the boys started yelping that they were being made INTO ARABS!!! Which could be why they loathe anyone with any advanced degree as a sell-out traitor..I'm telling you, you HAVE to be stupid to be their idea of a REAL Assyrian..I mean LOOK AT THEM!!!

They were ignorant then..they fought to remain ignorant...their church was everything to them then...and it's everything to them today..in fact it's ALL there is...and we see them now, free to do what they did when the Arabs came to conquer and had to stop them from killing each other..they're back to arguing God..that's all the "nation" is. They looked sort of unified when among Muslims because they were at least all Christians..but away from Betnahrain and the MidEast and in Ceres or Chicago, they can go at it tooth and nail again...their destruction is built-in. I'm not sure anything can be done to reverese it and I for one wouldn't even try...the sooner they gobble each other up and eat their young alive the sooner we'll be closer to peace and unity in Iraq..forget Turlock.

Had Muhammad's message waited just fifty years more the Christians of Iraq would all have been killed by the Christians of Rome...in fact, the Christians of THIS Rome are doing just that.

I'd have bulldozed those churches too...that's why to the majority of Iraqis this effort by Narsai and his AIDS Society is seen as a call to those good old days of ignorance and religious bigotry and no higher education for the countryside...the effort is regressive and retrogade to where the country is heading...after it gets out of this toilet Christianity has put it in...the church will NEVER have the influence it did..just as we will never have the autonomy we did when we lived in Turkey...both have been ruined by the Christian West..the same place these boys went looking to AGAIN for salvation...
