Re: what makes an "Assyrian"??

There is a clear contradiction with what they say and they are the only ones who don't see that. They say they are not just a christian community but then they say every assyrian is christian and only christians are assyrian. They don't explain what happened to the Kassites, Amorites, Harrians, Arameans, Sumerians, Chaldeans, Babylonians, or the people of Mitani. Where are they and what happened to all these people, and how only Assyrians survived and where were the Assyrians for over 2000 years? The things they use as proofs for their claims are all laughable. Aramaic language doesn't prove anything. Being born in Iraq makes them no more Assyrian than a Muslim and being christian has nothing to do with Assyrians of antiquity. They are a christian community who want a christian country. Ethnicity is just their lame way of doing it and it hasn't worked. They are no more indigenous to Iraq than a Muslim is. The only book they read is the bible and the world doesn't accept it as a history book, and these dweebs wonder why. They don't see how much of fools they make of themselves and nobody takes them serious. Scholars always distinguish between ancient assyrians and the church of assyria(nestorians). He says our language has words from akkadian, but so what? Spanish has up to TEN THOUSAND Arabic words, does that mean they speak Arabic or are Arabs? English has Greek words, was Shakespere from Greece or do English people speak Greek? Languages travel as you said, and even Iraqi Arabic has Persian words, Turkish words and yes, even words from Mesopotamian languages. Arabic also has Akkadian words, especially classical Arabic and the languages are very close to one another. Do they mean the Arabs are Assyrian now? I thought only Christians were. They were never Assyrian and no more than any other Iraqi. They can call themselves what they like and Arabs will laugh along, but don't expect it to go unchallenged when they make their silly demands and expect special rights. They can teach and speak their language all they want and nobody ever hindered them, but that's not what this is about. They want more and for good reasons but it won't happen. --------------------- - BACK TO INDEX - REPLY - QUOTE - EDIT - DELETE -
