I attend the University of Illinois-Champaign and have taken syriac courses at University of Chicago, i have read extensively about Assyrian history and more importantly MODERN Assyrian history and have learned THROUGH third parties accounts (non-assyrian) and my own grandparents accounts relating the massacres and discrimination facilitated and sponsored by Muslims (this includes the Turks, Kurds, and Arabs). This no one can ignore, its a FACT. No other people are responsible for the demise of our people than the brutal ignorant Muslims. However this does not include all Muslims. The Assyrians have been living with Muslims for hundreds of years in peace and solitude. Be it or not, we have always lived as 3rd class citizens. There would be no emmigration from the Middle East if Muslims were more TOLERANT of other (and better i should add) religions. Jesus was a symbol of peace PERIOD. But Mohammed is described even in MUSLIM pictures and symbols as a WARRIOR. No wonder the cowardice of the Muslim culture. Without the West, i must say that the Arab world would be inhabitable. The Assyrians, Jews, and Armenians have all contributed to the success and the prestigous history of the Middle East, whereas the Muslims and Arabs have contributed nothing but a source of OIL to the west. A resource that would be there no matter who lived in the region, the Muslims were just LUCKY to be there. Other than that, the Muslims have just contributed to terror and insecurity to the region.

How can an Assyrian (be he muslim, jewish or Christian) since it is only an ethnicity not a religion, be ignorant of the genocides or the attacks by the muslims, or the denial of existence by many Arab countries. I think you should go live in the Middle East with a sign saying "ASSYRIAN" hung around ur neck, and well see how long you last in Iraq, or Iran, or even Saudi Arabia. Yes maybe our alliance with Britain has tainted our reputation, but any historian or researched person would have read and discovered that it was a forced alliance. The Young Turk government of the Ottoman Empire had proclaimed a jihad against the Christian population of not only Turkey but the whole Middle East, at this time the Ottoman Empire was on the Axis side. The unfortanate and MINORITY Christian population was purged and killed through many acts that made the Holocaust of the Jews seem peaceful. The castration, the rape of 12 year olds (my grandmother's sister who was 12 yrs old was raped by the Ottoman soldiers), and the butchering of clergy was not only a attack on Christians but ASSYRIANS. In the Proclamation of Jihad, the Ottoman Empire didnt just say CHRISTIANS, but said "Armenians and Assyrians." This classified them as Christians. WIth this, the British and the Russians offered the Assyrian an alliance that would supply them with arms to defend themselves (read the account of the siege of Gerbia) and a prospect of having a country if the allies win. I consider this a forced alliance, because without the hand of the Brits we were forced to face this monster with nothing we were terribly equiped and we were surrounded by jihads (the kurds were in on this too). We had to fight, if not you may not have been here, i know i would not. They started it Fred, not us.

Read in on the history and maybe you may understand why the majority of Assyrian even your relatives consider you an irony......like a jewish nazi!!!
