Recently, Assyrians worldwide were horrified to hear the news of:
the alarming trend, reported by the United Nations, that although Assyrians comprise 5% of Iraq's population, they also comprise under 40% of the refugees fleeing Iraq (October 2005)
the crucifixion-murder of a 14 year old Assyrian boy near Mosul (October 2006)
the beheading of Father Paulis Iskander in Mosul (October 2006)
the bombing of over 15 churches across Iraq, from Basra to Baghdad and from Mosul to Kirkuk (August 2004, January 2006, September 2006)
the kidnapping and murder of 13 Assyrian Christian women in Baghdad (August 2006)
CAI believes this humanitarian crisis may be reversed with the formation of an autonomous zone in Iraq for Assyrians and other Christians. This zone, called the Nineveh Plains Administrative Unit, will allow Assyrians and other Christians to practice their faith, speak and teach their language, and work their land without fear of persecution.

To Ania: Iraqs Ethnic Assyrians have been persecuted and subjected to pogroms, ethnic cleansing, massacres, abductions and suppression of their Aramaic language and script, christian culture etc for 1400 years! They are the original inhabitants of iraq, and now face extinction!

Nobody went to Iraq to help mate,they went to take the oil.That's the truth about Iraq,the USA have now got a hold of the country
with the last oil on earth(Iraq will be the last oil producing country
on earth they will run out in about 116 years and that is FACT)
So you see Saddam being overthrown was just a way of the
USA to change the oil for euros(which Saddam changed from
dollars)back to oil for dollars as this really hurt the US economy.
The west have what they wanted from Iraq,they will leave ships
and bases all over the area to protect the oil.And as Walt Disney
said,that's oil folks.

because liberals love to pretend it doesn´t happen as it more fashionable to pretend we are all trying to persecute muslims.
if the media says anything supporting christians it is seen as right wing. it is more fashionable to bash christianity than support it.
btw, this has been happening across the muslim world for years and nothing has been done, so it won´t change now.

The Christians in Iraq are no more persecuted than any other citizen there. The situation is bad for all the people.
And, I just looked it up-----------he was beheaded, not crucified.

The US has lost over 2000 young men trying to help that damn country and over ten thousand have been wounded and maimed. Just what has that damn country done to help itself? We should pull our people home and leave them to their sorry selves. If we ever have to go back it should only be with bombs. Never should a ground troop set foot in that country again just bomb hell out of them and come on home. xx
