Hi Pancho,

let me ask you;why have so many Christians left Iraq in the last ten years? You´re probably tempted to say, becausemuslimsarekillingthem...it´s probably an automatic reflex by now

Exactly! How did you guess?

Well I’d say they left for similar reasons that you or your parent’s had… and the war Of coarse.


But think a minute...just like in Turkey before WW I....Christians in Iraq had their churches since the Arabs came...in fact the Arabs SAVED them from the Eastern Orthodox Byzantines

The Byzantines persecuted those Christians just because they were not Orthodox?


The trouble for them began with the treachery and ingratitude of the Levies...and it was started not by Iraqi Christians but by Turkish and Persian Christians who´d made themselves unwelcome in their own countries, for the same reason: taking up arms against their nations on behalf of the Allies.

Many countries in the Middle East were artificially created by the Europeans. They created bogus ethnicities, or nationalities, and give them a country, while deliberately depriving others, such as Kurds and Palestinians, from having their own state.

I wouldn’t be surprised if certain groups found this to be unjust and decided take matters in their own hands.


In the last ten years Christians haven´t left Iraq because of anything Iraq did to them

Mostly, yes. But some did leave due to threats and attacks from extremists.


and, again, assyrians went to work for the occupiers and ex-patriot assyrians joined the attacking armies in a completely illegal war.

The majority of those who joined and worked for the “occupiers” were not Christians.

Once again, and quite naturally, for human behavior, the Christian population brought the anger of Muslims against them, not for their religion but for what they DID..

Christians in Iraq did nothing to warrant anger towards them.


that and the fact that those attacking the country were also Christian...I´m sure you understand how this would make all Iraqi Christians less than well-liked...

I don’t see the connection. What does the behavior of some “Christians” in one country has to do with other Christians in another country?

So basically you are saying that there is a valid, understandable, or legitimate excuse for the aggressive behavior of some people towards innocent Christians.

What do you think of 9/11?


the answer is; WAR...war brought by Christians, just as it was brought to Turkey in 1914...

I’m not much into history. What I know is that Turkey sided with the Germans, which is why it was attacked. Neither this nor the recent war against Iraq has anything to do with religion.


it took this recent Christian jihad to change conditions in Iraq for Christians...and it is this, this war and not Muslim "hatred" that has forced many Christians to get out and settle "all over the MidEast".

I would not call it a “Christian Jihad”. But yeah… Christians and Muslims suffered alike.
