True that. The reason they are even divided is because of religion and they are just a religion. They speak the same language and call themselves suraye, but religion is what divides them, and their unity talk is just religion also. They not talking about unity as people but as christians and all must call themselves assyrians. Their unity doesn't include muslims, atheists, gays etc. It's between the various syriac speaking christians and they should all become assyrian. They say that christianity is what kept these people close and the reason they survived, but I say it's the opposite. Christianity kept them divided and cause enmity between them just as christians all hate one another. Their unity is not achievable because christianity has never been a religion of one version. There are 34 thousand different christian sects, denominations, etc. No other religion has that and no other religion has this much hate for one another.

Just look at the catholics and protestants how they butchered each other, or the genocide committed against the paulicians, who were an early sect, and then we are told they are all christians. They hate each other and their difference is not on secondary matters. There is a big difference between believing in one god(unitarian christians, jehova witness, etc) and believing in trinity. There is a difference between believing jesus is god, son of god, not god or partially divine and whatever else. They killed each other over this and they were still debating and killing each other over this during the coming of islam. It was islam which stopped the killing and oppression by accepting all of the sects as christians and give them equal status regardless of what another group said about them.

This unity is not possible because this is a religious community hiding behind nationalism. It is christianity which keeps them divided and they want to unite because they are all christians. There will be no unity because this is not a religion of one unified people and never been so. They hate and mock Kurds, but there are atheist kurds, muslims, jews, and yezidis and more. Kurds aren't based on religion and not even language, but these people are christians and assyrian is christianity and they want to unite based on that. If they weren't christians, they wouldn't be so silly, racist and radicals, and if they weren't christians, they probably would have unity of some kind because it wouldn't be based on religion.

I have heard it too many times by heroes who ask why they can't unite since they are one people with same language, culture and religion, but I always told them it was because they want unity around religion and it will not happen. The moment they say, as they all do, that all assyrians are christians and only christians can be assyrians, this is when they expose themselves and prove they are, indeed, a religious community. When someone tells me he is assyrian, I just take it as meaning christian(coe) and when they say chaldean or oromoye, it means catholic or syrian orthodox. The iraqi govt is wise enough to know these people are a joke and they should continue to ignore them as if they don't exist. They are christians from iraq and who speak aramaic as their language. Like it or not, this is how it is and nobody takes them for real.
