I concur, it seems they have this delusional, yet insatiable emotional desire to associate themselves with Europeans. Which to me, signifies an underlying sense of shame and self-deprecation for themselves and their people. Christianity, like most religions, was spread by the sword. The Salem Witch Trials, The Spanish Inquisition, The Massacre of the Native Americans, The Crusades. And of course, the torture, killing, persecution, assassination and destruction of Pagans along with their idols, books, symbols, temples etc., by the Christian Roman Empire. The Christians would also construct churches on top of Pagan temples and monuments. Which is an act all too familiar with what's occurring in Iraq today with the Assyrians. There are historical documents that attest to the unwillingness of the Ancient Assyrians to immediately abandon their belief system. These sentiments about how Assyrians converted on their own volition is false. If that is the case, then why do the Iraqi Mandaeans, who are genetically identical to the Assyrians and are likely to be the direct descendants of the Babyloanians, practicing a Pre-Islamic, Pre-Christian religion? What some scholars think, is that Mandaeism served as a transitioning religion from the Assyro-Babylonian religion and Christianity. Because the religion itself contains disparate elements of both Abramaic and Ancient Near Eastern Pagan religions. In addition to this, the liturgical language of the Mandaeans is Mandaic. Which, similar to Assyrian and Chaldean Neo-Aramaic, is a subdivision of Syriac, a variant of Aramaic. Mandaeans live in Southern Iraq, and a lot, if not most are dark. In which case if we were to include Mandaeans as a subset of Assyrians, then as a collective group, we'd be much darker than Armenians by a significant order of magnitude. I should also note that not all there's an Assyrian historical figure, who's name escapes me at the moment who converted to Islam. So not all Assyrians embraced Christians, some became Muslims. Others became Mandaeans. --------------------- |
