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?

Assyrians dream of being as united as Kurds are - how else did Kurds manage to create the KRG...


They, like Armenians have a problem with two different languages/dialects - Eastern and Western...

They are a much smaller group than the 40 million Kurds + they are spread over the same number of countries as Kurds are...


People are too quick to judge situations/people...

You know what is funny, the writing of the words is the same in bouth dialects, however the a,p and kh(x) is pronouced in the western dialekt as o,f and hh mostly.

We all really need to realize that one who is lookin for his self determation, cant be against another one who is just having the same goal.

We need to stand together, but we also need to be honest about various things.
