...yes, they exist. And they lie. They lie in the service of their god...so it's an okay lie. from aina: RIGHTS: Assyrians Face Escalating Abuses in "New Iraq" Lisa Söderlindh UNITED NATIONS, May 3 (IPS) - The longstanding persecution of ethnic minorities in Iraq is quietly writing the end chapter to Iraqi Assyrian history: if the world doesn't wake up to the plight of this people, they will soon be shoved through the door of extinction, warn patrons and human rights defenders. The Assyrian Christian population of Iraq, historically traceable to the Mesopotamian cradle of civilisation, has increasingly become the target of both ethnic and religious attacks since the U.S.-led invasion and the overthrow of the Saddam Hussein regime in 2003. "Today, the situation is the worst we have ever lived in Iraq," Andy Darmoo, head of the "Save the Assyrians" campaign, told a recent news conference at U.N. headquarters in New York. The non-political human rights campaign, aimed at saving the Assyrian people of Iraq from oblivion and helping them reclaim their rights, was launched in January 2005 by the former British Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey. Fellow campaigner Glyn Ford, a Labour member of the European Parliament, said that torture, kidnapping, extortion, harassment, church bombings, forced religious conversion, political disenfranchisement and property destruction are some of the deliberate human rights violations that are wreaking havoc in the lives of the hundreds of thousands of remaining Assyrians in Iraq. The atrocities are rapidly spreading and escalating in the Assyrian-concentrated northern region, and in cities such as Kirkuk, Mosul and Baghdad, said Darmoo. "The dangers we are facing are even greater now than a few hundred years ago," he continued, recalling the 13th century when Mongolian forces led by the warrior Prince Hulagu, the grandson of Genghis Kahn, swept across ancient Mesopotamia -- now Iraq -- and killed an estimated 800,000 people. ...this is the kind of bullshit, spread by Christians OUTSIDE Iraq that puts those inside at such great risk. These people hope the lies come TRUE...that as a result of their agitation there will be MARTYRS. ...This is the "strategy" these people have maintained all along...they believe the Christian West will take an interest in them if ONLY they kearn of the "atrocities" they have suffered...can you imagine trying to get the Christian west...which had no trouble gassing to death six million and more totally innocent people..something not even a Hulagu dreamed of..can you imagine trying to raise THEIR sympathies? These are Christians who've shown an even greater inclination to kill OTHER Christians. ...It's mind-boggling that our boys should think anyone cares for their so-called plight. But havng said that, it's still true that the ONLY strategy they've come up with is to exploit the suffering of their own people...even by helping it along a little. ...These sorts of fabrications are intended to do more than make Americans weep...they are intended to arouse the fury of the Muslims being so slandered...Muslims who SURROUND the Christians of BetNahrain...and THAT is their most despicable aspect. --------------------- |
