Forgive them father, for they know not what they do -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ Chaldeans Discussion Forum ] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by David on 19 May 2006 18:14:00: Written by David on 19 May 2006 16:42:07: Friday, May 19, 2006 KurdishMedia.com - By Samy H. Adam Zggurt at Ashur No fair historian or student of political science disagrees with the statement: “The Kurds have suffered the longest and persecuted the most by savage and vindictive foes than any other nation during the 20th century”. It is a miracle that the people, language and culture survives. The newly created Arab, Persian and Turkic nation states after WW 1, have been in a continuous state of war with their organised armies, air forces and all the toys of destruction afforded to them by an indifferent world in order to erase the Kurds from existence in the middle-east. Just like they successfully done to the ancient Armenian, Chaldean and Assyrian communities. It was only the fortitude and courage of the Kurds, the emergence of Barzani as the undisputed leader of the Kurdish resistance movement, whose tenacity and resilience guided a doomed cause towards hope and salvation and finally the mountains or fortress Kurdistan, that ultimately saved the Kurds, Divided, weak and unfulfilled but alive. While waging their desperate struggle for survival, the much maligned and oppressed Christians communities in Iraq, Turkey, Syria and Persia, the Chaldeans, Syriacs, Armenians and Assyrians became the natural allies and bonded brothers of Kurds and active participants in the struggle for emancipation. During the early sixties the names of Malak Chako and Margrate Malak spread throughout the world as legendary guerrilla commanders. Muslim blood mixed with Christian blood in a heroic saga of unselfish and patriotic resistance to the evil and racist Arab-Turkic and Persian tormentors. Mosques along with ancient churches were destroyed, along with villages and hamlets. The Bishop of Kani-Masi was the roving Ambassador for Barzani and the resistance abroad. No Iraqi must ever forget how an army unit led by an Arab nationalist officer from Mosul set fire to the mouth of the cave where 70 men, women and children from the Christian villages of Dhaka and Sorya, near Duhok were hiding, shooting every one trying to escape and suffocating the rest. That was in April of 1969. A lot of water has passed under the bridge since. When Saddam’s Bedouins savagery and bloodthirsty regime buried alive the people of Kurdistan and destroyed its villages, the Christian communities fled to the safety of Baghdad and the big Arab cities and ultimately abroad. This was exactly what the Baath Arab nationalists wanted: all Iraqi Christians to become model Arab citizens like Tariq Azziz or leave the country. Were a great deal of money was spent by the regime on the major Christian communities in Detroit, Melbourne..etc. to create through a network of collaborators and greedy businessmen and apolitical and indifferent Diaspora unaware of its history and true place in the Iraqi society and the great contribution of Christians and their sacrifice for the salvation of Iraq, either through the great liberal and communist parties or the Kurdish resistance movement. It saddens me to say that Saddam’s plans have almost worked. Large, apolitical and unaware Iraqi Christian societies have mushroomed all over the western world misguided and poorly informed by a set of selfish, utopian and unrealistic politicians and political parties and societies, many of whom were collaborators and informers in Saddam’s security apparatus’. Their contribution both moral and material to their brethren in the homeland has been negligible compared to the Shiite, Kurdish and Sunni communities abroad. It was sad to see that less than 7% of them voted during both general elections. It is even sadder to see the shallow and crass TV satellite stations pretending to be Assyrians or Chaldeans continuously attacking our best allies and friends, the Kurds, and so called 'patriotic' Assyrians all over Europe and the US activating and distorting information to demean, implicate and spread hatred of Kurds while leaving the real tormentors of our people, the ones who burned our churches and schools, and killed and assassinated our doctors and lecturers in Basra, Dora, and Mosul continue killing and expelling the remaining Christians from their ancient habitats. The Kurds welcomed the fleeing Christians housed and befriended them. Since 1992, Assyrians and Chaldeans have become an integral component of the Federal movement and played an important role in the Kurdistan Regional Government, and the parliament in Erbil. They are part of the administration, security, army and commercial life of the region. I’m sure that many reactionary Kurdish tribes and individuals and clergy harbours ill will towards our people, after all it was backward Kurdish tribes who collaborated with Saddam to carry out the Anfal campaign and massacre their own people. Many isolated incidents of injustice against Assyrians occur, but can anyone deny that the Kurdish political leadership has gone further than any other political leadership in the entire Muslim world to address the problem on equitable and fair bases. The holly Qur’an strictly ordains that “your ruler and guardian must be of your faith”. And even during the British mandate no Christian was allowed to be a Governor of even the smallest sub district, even the Christian ones. The Late and much lamented Franso Harriri became the governor of the most populous city and the capital of Kurdistan, Erbil millions of Kurds wearing black poured into the streets in grief upon his assassination by Islamist terrorists. The first Christian administrators for Telkef and Alkosh, Christian cities in the Mosul district were installed by Peshmerga’s after its liberation in 2003. Numerous churches and temples have been built, schools teaching in Syriac language have been established, colleges and Universities for Assyrians and Chaldeans are being planned by KRG, clubs, associations and parties are founded from Sulaimaniyah to Kani-Masi. Our people are free, proud and unafraid they voice their discontent freely in their publications and media against excesses by corrupt KRG officials. Our children are not constricted by fear from Muslim bullies and Arab racists who think Christians are only good to be bar tenders, waiters and septic tank cleaners, that withdrawn, docile and resigned face worn by native Christians all over the Islamic world indicating subservience is absent in Kurdistan. It is our homeland. It is our future and our right, and together with our compatriots and brother Kurds we shall protect and advance our region to democracy, and prosperity. So what does Assyrian nationalists in the Diaspora want. They swear and denigrate the Kurds, portray them as the worst enemy, continuously insult and spread hate in their websites and satellites and literature. Do they think that if the Kurds were erased totally from their homeland, it will be given to Assyrians? Do they think that by hating and shouting the UN or USA will create a state for them build houses, swimming poles and shopping centres just like the ones in California or Sydney and then invite them to return to the republic of Assyria?.. Stop hallucinating O sons of Nestor and Sinhareb. Stop spreading hate against our brothers and allies and give a little of your vindictive thoughts to our real tormentors and historical oppressors. Come back to the land of your ancestors and help rebuild and repopulate it. We might become autonomous, federal or independent but only if: (1) we get back physically and claim our heritage. (2) If we enter into an alliance with the Kurds tempered in fire and steele and a common struggle against Turco, Persian, Arab despotism and Islamic fundamentalism. Without these two conditions, we do not stand a chance of bringing back even a shadow of the glory of Ashur. O ‘Father thou art in Heaven forgive the ignorant and the misled and the paid bearer of falsehood from among my people, they know not what they do. --------------------- - BACK TO INDEX - REPLY - QUOTE - EDIT - DELETE -
