In Response To: Mr Kakovitch - Blasphemy! (Albert Michael)

: Mr Kakovitch,

: 1. You have no right to dictate what can or
: cannot be posted on this forum.

: 2. The subject title of your pathetic post is
: blasphemous, and you are reminded that I and
: the majority of the Assyrians are offended.

: 3. How can you not discern the
: "significance" of a film depicting
: the last hours of our Lord Jesus Christ
: spoken in Aramaic (and Latin) to be released
: to the world perfectly timed at this
: critical juncture of our nation's struggle
: in the homeland? Before you even go there,
: Aramiac (Syriac) is the language of the
: Assyrians, just as much as
: "English" is the language of the
: Americans!

: Without the unfettered and total belief in the
: Saviour of mankind, our nation would have
: disappeared long ago. "The men of
: Nineveh will rise up in the judgement with
: this generation and condemn it, for they
: repented at the preaching of Jonah; and
: indeed a greater that Jonah is here."
: Matthew 12:41.

: Albert Michael

*RESPONSE*

Mr. A. Michael:

My quote:

"This Forum is intended for the enlightenment and enrichment of Assyria, its culture, its existence in the present and its future."

1. If you interpret the above as a 'dictate', then you must return back to school.

2. The word 'blasphemy' is sectarian. This Forum is not--at least not yet. This Forum is channel of communications between a nation that has no home. A nation that has to consider the whole world as its home.

3. This is Sunday. There are thousands of Assyrians in our Churches. Your psalm from the Bible ought to be delivered in one, or even perhaps in most of the Churches instead.

4. You seem to be dictating what can and cannot be posted, by subjecting the title of my posting as 'blasphemous.'

Kakovitch
MAY LORD FORGIVE YOU!

>On any given Sunday, an average of no more than 600 Assyrians fill in the halls of these Churches.

>This constitutes 0.3% of the Assyrian popoulation attending Churches, although all the Assyrians are Christians.

>I do not believe this figure fares much higher in other countries where Assyrians reside. While in Sweden, I witnessed on 3 consecutive Sundays, no more than 100 Assyrian attending Sunday sermons in Stockholm and Huskvarna, and Jankoping. The other towns and localities, didn't even have priests, less, churches.

>Assyrian Churches of Hamilton, London and Toronto, Aarhus, Sydney, Teheran and Moscow, just like their namesake Churches in the USA, are hard-pressed to sustain their mere existence on meager donations from their flocks.

>Not digging into sociological details, the throngs participating in the Church affairs of Assyria are mostly the last generation of the immigrants from Russia and the Middle East, whereas the younger generation, born and bred abroad, hardly even contains itself of its parents' denominations, and outwardly harbors other means of attainment and enthralls itself with modern facets of life, that has no relation with churches or religion, in general.
>
>In conclusion, so if the forthcoming screening of a film, produced and starred by non-Assyrians, with no Assyrian hand in any capacity in its production, entailing no Assyrian plot, but, merely a dialogue of Latin and Aramaic dialects, what significance does it bear for Assyria and its co-nationals, except that of an aura of a malediction of a nation, in a search for a solace in its dire and fragile commemorative form of existence.

>I wonder, what do we turn to, next in our search for our subsistence.

>In the meantime, we shall all enjoy 'The Passion of the Christ', for whatever its merits.

>I certainly, shall.
