QUOTE
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

QUOTE
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).


QUOTE
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

QUOTE
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...... icon_lol.gif

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




Although I also don't find WikiPedia to be reliable
QUOTE
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

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

QUOTE
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

QUOTE
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?

keep in mind that nowadays in iraq, being a christian isnt a woderful thing. saddam used to protect the christians from the savages but unfortunately now by being openly christian, you risk death.

I'm sure the asyrian population is much larger but prefers to stay clear of trouble. its the most logical thing to do. In turkey, there are over one million armenians that stay hidden...apply that to iraq and youv got the Assyrian situation

Savages being the Moslem iraqis who take the time out of their pathetic little lives to contribute to the violence in their country instead of rebuilding it.

Saddam was a savage and there is no doubt in my mind that the kurds have suffered a great deal under Saddam. Wat it was was genocide clean and simple. There is no doubt of that.

on the other hand, Kurds have been harassing the Assyrians for way to long, under saddam or not.
The Assyrians deserve a safe environment just as much as kurds do.

they have more of a right to these lands. their ancestors have lived there for centuries. kurds are a nomadic people. I dont oppose them having a homeland, but the idea of them kicking other indiginous peoples off lands that belong to them reminds me of the turkish attitude. and then I think about who helped the turks in 1915.

I dont hate kurds of today, but the attitude of some is starting to get on my nerves. Live at peace, or dont live at all!

PS: Rumtaya, sorry I havnt been posting much in the Assyrian section...I'l try to post more often.
how is everything brother?

cheers

Oh man, you are just so misinformed.
You are acting like these Assyrians are angels.

Let me tell you something.

When I and my family were in the cold mountains with our weapons during the genocidal campaign of Saddam, hungry and ill.
we were protecting our women,children culture language our homeland of being massacred, destroyed.

During that, these Assyrians by the thousands were in Baghdad smoking havana cigars,
They were playing with Saddams sons Uday and Qusay.
Many of those Assyrians were in Saddams batallions, generals ordering the executions of thousands of Kurds.

What are you talking about men?
Hundreds of thousands of Kurds have given their lives for a day of freedom like this one.
You clearly do not know anything!!!

Assyrians are not like Armenians.
Armenians have kept their aim for preserving Armenian culture and an independent Armenia ever since the fall of the Ottoman Empire.
Assyrians are very Iraq-loyal. And every Iraqi agrees with me about this fact.
They had very high rankings and positions during every Iraqi government.

Also in Syria they are very nationalistic for Syria.
Have you ever heard of the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria? They were very organised and the Syrian people preferred them to rule Syria.
But the Assad family killed 20.000 of them in a week, bombing their cities along with them.
There are many Kurdish opposition groups in Syria, lately Syrian authorities killed hundreds of Kurds because they were battling Syrian security apparatus (mainly run by Assyrians)

And how about Assyrian opposition? Nothing nothing nothing!!!
You are not from these countries so that makes your knowledge so low about them!

Now since they see their position being threatened (since their father and master Saddam is gone)....
they try to give the image that they are a poor and loose minority being deprived from their rights and that they have a homeland in an area which is inhabited by 95% non-Assyrians.
Are you really believing everything they say?
Man, their propaganda is really a big joke.



PS: I am not waiting for any Azzyrian to reply my post, I am waiting for the quoted one.

you sound like a Turk...

The entire region has been at war since the day Islams hordes rode into Mecca. Assyrians are a people that are dying out, with no homeland and no clear sign of hope. They have lived on their lands for millenia and now have no home at all. Kurds are a nomadic people who never had a homeland in perticular, whos numbers are ever rising and who's strength is recognised by the UNited States government.

Kurds have suffered under saddam but you cant blame it on Assyrians. and the Assyrian atrocities commited towards the kurds are nothing in comparison to what the kurds have done to the Assyrians. AGAIN! I am NOT talking about Saddam! there is no doubt in my mind that what Saddam has done was genocide, but nowadays, NOTHING justifys the actions of the kurds towards the Assyrians of iraq.

Assyrians deserve their homeland, and no matter how hard you try to stop it, they will always have friends, and brothers looking out for them!

I agree with your words... Almost all... Except I am offended that you designate Kurds as a nomadic people - which is pure rubbish Turkish propaganda...

The Turks even claim that the Kurds are Turks who came to Anatolia with the Turks in 1000 AD...

Please stop spreading this rubbish and please respect our millenia old history as NATIVES of the Middle East and todays Kurdistan...

Kurds, Armenians, Assyrians and Greeks are the ancient owners of these lands...
