Assyrian Population In Iraq, FACTS UNVEILED FOR THE AssyrianS! Options

[Kurd-BOSS]

http://www.milnet.com/pentagon/centcom/iraq/iraqpop.htm

At least 95 percent of the population adheres to some form of Islam

5% for Yezidi, Kakai, Jewry, Christians
Then those Christians are made up of Arabs, Kurds and Assyrians.




http://education.yahoo.com/reference/factbook/iz/popula.html

Ethnic groups:
Arab 75-80%, Kurdish 15-20%, Turkoman, Assyrian or other 5%

Other than Arabs and Kurds, 5% is Turkoman, Assyrian, Yazidi (they dont count them as Kurds, thanks to succesive Baath (Assyrian) politics).

Religions:
Muslim (Shi'a 60%-65%, Sunni 32%-37%) 97%, Christian or other 3%

Christian OR Other , that does not necessarily mean Assyrian, there are Kurdish and Arab Christians too



http://countrystudies.us/iraq/33.htm

The Assyrians are considered to be the third largest ethnic minority in Iraq. Although official Iraqi statistics do not refer to them as an ethnic group, they are believed to represent about 133,000 persons or less than 1 percent of the population.

Hmmm.....
By your logic it means you have truplicated yourselves like rabbits......


http://www.tlfq.ulaval.ca/AXL/asie/irak.htm

Groupes minoritaires: dialectes arabes (22 %), kurde (18 %), azéri (4 %), assyrien (1,3 %), farsi (1,2 %), turkmène (1 %), arménien (0,27 %), circassien (0,08 %), etc

Although I also don't find WikiPedia to be reliable

Ethnic composition includes:

Arab, 70–74%; Kurdish, 22-24%; Turkoman, Assyrian or other 5%.
Religious composition includes:

Muslim, 97%; Christian or other, 3%

BBC Picture


3% for any other than Arab or Kurd




http://people.uleth.ca/~travis.fletcher/pa...emographics.htm

Ethnic groups: Arabs 75-80%, Kurds 15%-20%, Assyrian, Iraqi Turkmen or other 5%

Religions: Muslim 97% (Shi'a 60%-65%, Sunni 32%-37%), Christian or other 3%

The same information on Answer.com

http://www.ethnologue.com/show_country.asp?name=Iraq

Chaldean Neo-Aramaic [cld] 100,000 to 120,000 in Iraq (1994 Mutzafi).
Assyrian Neo-Aramaic [aii] 30,000 in Iraq (1994).

Even all the different languages they have together make almost 1 or 2 percent today.



Every source in history (unless Assyrian-originated, or made by political christianist groups ) tells us enough.
It is impossible that 10% of Iraq is Christian.
At its highest the Christians make up 5% of Iraq (although nowhere stated), and of those there are many Arabs and Kurds between too.

Not enough?

cute, he is getting good influences..

and anyways, it's not like if the kurds ever had a homeland. they are nomads. and the kurds arn't a unified people, they don't all have the same culture and traditions, nor the same language.

the Assyrians have a homeland, have a common language and culture..

1. The Assyrians do not have a homeland, nor do they or had they ever a modern state controlled by themselves.


2. Assyrians do CERTAINLY not have a common language,culture,race

There are Chaldeans who feel themselves separate. The have a different language and culture.

There are Suryani who consider themselves different and have different habits.
Also they have a very different form of Christianity.

Assyrians are different, the Assyrians in Syria and Iran speak totally different languages.
Assyrians in Syria and Iraq do not know their language, they communicate in Arabic with eachother in Iraq and Syria. I'd say only 5% maybe does know Assyrian.
