In the first place it isn’t an Assyrian language. It’s an Aramaic language spoken by Christians who call themselves Assyrians...let’s stick to facts shall we? If Germans decide to all speak French one day they can’t very well call it a German language..just because they decided to give up on their own language to speak that of the French people instead.

But for the sake of argument…for the sake of this idiotic point which, like so many other lies, makes up the agenda of the Assyrian NATION..god help us…let’s agree that Aramaic is what so-called Assyrians call “their” so-called language.

We’ve heard often that Muslim nations don’t allow us to teach this language to our children…how then is it that we all come from there SPEAKING IT?

The other lie is that Muslim nations are determined to wipe out Christianity and have been for 1400 years…how then is that there are churches all over Muslim lands to this day?

The we-can’t-teach-our-language complaint is nothing more than another lie meant to discredit Muslim countries. For one thing Assyrians themselves have very little interest in teaching their language..or their history. Our young people are terribly ignorant of Assyrian history and for the over 175 years we’ve been in the West we’ve never built ONE school that teaches our so-called dear so-called language.

We have no trouble coming to the West and assimilating, in fact we’re eager to do so…apparently there’s nothing evil about being Americanized or Europeanized…but there is great danger in being Arabized…sheer Christian prejudice. In the West our young people are eager to blend in and learn the language that really counts…the one they need to attend college and get work and get ahead in life, English…the majority of our people who’ve been in the West any length time have blissfully forgotten their language and don’t give it a second thought…especially their children born here.

In the MidEast as well our own language is used mostly in churches and in the kitchen and that’s it. If you want to move ahead you have to know Arabic, or Farsi, or Turkish…not Aramaic.

This sudden all-encompassing love for the language and burning desire to teach it, especially in the MidEast is nothing more than one more smokescreen behind which another agenda entirely is lurking.

If Apaches in America decided to teach their language in schools to their children there would be no problem…today. Once it was outlawed because it encouraged and made it possible for Native Americans to remain insular and out of the melting pot…just as today English is declared the official language of California and it’s against the law to speak Spanish at work…and there is much talk about doing away with bilingual education because it keeps foreigners from assimilating faster…and in America now we’re pushing very hard for assimilation…as a matter of public policy. You’re welcome to teach your own language to your community as a private matter…unless,of course, you’re Apaches and what you teach in your language is sedition…which is illegal and no amount of , “But sir, it is our mother tongue” is going to fool anybody.

And that’s exactly so in Syria, Iraq and anywhere else we come from in the MidEast. It’s gotten to be the same with the religion; Muslim governments have recent, bitter, memories of western missionaries sneaking into their lands, literally, to supposedly do “God’s work” when in reality meant they were there to convert people who were already Christians to a particularly ugly and disrespectful form of Christian missionary work after which our poor dumb shmucks were supposed go out, among their Muslim neighbors who far outnumbered them and who dislike and don’t practice forced conversions and convert them to Christian and away from that “devil worship” foreign missionaries called Islam. Religion was a scam and so is this teaching-our-language business.

Our nationalists are clever, not smart but clever…and very clever in using bogus patriotism and religious fervor and love-of-language to mask their purely political, religious and other laughable agendas. The authorities KNOW the scam. They know damn well we aren’t setting up legitimate schools to teach a variety of subjects, accredited schools with REAL books, where Aramaic is just innocently taught…they know we’ll use Aprim’s sorts of books and articles by Jumblat and Minime and Jassim and the rest of our illiterate oafs…and the language will be used as a medium to spread hatred and this insane notion of ourselves as the direct descendants of the ancient Assyrians who are entitled to a NATION for our Christ…and they’re not buying any of it and never will…and they’re perfectly right and wise to reject it outright.

Any parent in Syria who wants his kids to learn Aramaic can bloody well teach them…it isn’t as if they’re going to use Aramaic in quantum physics so that an advanced language department is necessary…mostly they’re going to drone on in church or curse each other at soccer games, gossip at home, croon into Shotput’s and Yolanda’s hairy ear and shout cheesy slogans about being sons of Ashurbanipal…none of which requires a fucking language school!

Plus which every school we’ve ever had has been run by an illiterate priest in a ramshackle church basement in some fly eaten village…these are nothing more than garage madrassahs turning out hate-filled racists and xenophobes who are taught they deserve the land under their neighbors houses.

The whole thing is a fraud and a sham…why doesn’t Jumblat weep because there are no Aramaic schools in Chicago…or Turlock? Why, when they’re in a free country do they show so little interest in the language that’s being lost daily over here…while they wail for schools in Syria?

More lies…only lies….lies all the time. There are churches all over the MidEast and as a matter of fact Saudi Arabia is considering allowing one…which is a tragic mistake. Christians aren’t content to mind their own business and pursue their beliefs quietly…they claim Jesus told them to go knock on people’s doors and tell them the good news. But at least it shows that Islam has nothing to fear from Christ and never felt it did…it’s what Christians DO that is so disagreeable, not the religion itself…except Muslims are understandably horrified at the idea of a god seducing a virgin before her wedding day, who gives birth to his son….which is right out of Greek mythology…that and the disgusting idea, to Muslims and me, of teaching their children to eat human flesh and drink human blood and hang a little instrument of torture and execution round their sweet necks, often with a tiny, mutilated, corpse nailed to it…other than that, Islam has never had a problem with people being Christians…it’s the other way around…it’s Christianity that can’t allow people to have their own beliefs…as witnessed by what they did to Jews after centuries of tormenting the poor people…and what their pastors and politicians are increasingly saying should be done to Muslims next which is nothing more than the start, already under way, of another Holocaust, like their last one only 60 years ago..

Christianity is the bloodiest, most violent and savage religion the world has EVER seen…and that’s not any prejudice or slander or libel either…it’s plain, unadulterated history…and Jumblat can find nothing but his Nazi sites and his Nazi bible to say otherwise…for over a year we’ve asked him to simply provide his historical sources for the claims he’s made against Islam. And he hasn’t been able to do it yet. And you know if he could, if such sources existed, he’d have rushed out by now on his hands and knees to get them.

Just try to set up a Spanish language school in California that’s going to teach Mexican children that California was stolen from Mexico on a trumped up pretext (which even American presidents at the time admitted) and really belongs to them and their parents and that it is the descendants of the white Europeans who are there illegally and should be thrown out…and then tell the white authorities that it’s “just” a language school. If Syria refuses to allow Assyrian language schools, and this is by no means certain because if we know one thing about Jumblat it’s that he lies professionally, they do so because that privilege has been abused by the Christians. Besides which at the illiterate level these oafs speak any language, there hardly needs to be a school to supply the three sentences they know.

“I am Ashurbanipal’s child”.

“ Give me your house”.

“Jesus is number one”.

If it takes a village to raise a child, it requires only one of its inhabitants to teach Aramaic.
