Amazing stuff :)

I feel privileged indeed.

I always warm to anyone of Assyrian heritage because they withstood the long conflicts and persecutions against them because they are Christians, yet stood firm. God bless you.

Just a little experience on the treatment of non Muslims in Islamic controlled countries.

MALAYSIA.

During the Chief ministership of Tun Mustapha (around 1970ish) he sent out teams as follows:

They would goto Christian villages on the pretext that a body of 'Important government officials' was coming to discuss village related issues. So, the village had to put on a bit party and get2gether. When the villagers all rolledup, the 'Government team' would erect a large banner claiming this was a "Conversion to Islam" ceremony. They would take polariod photos and then take them to the NEXT village to encourage them to embrace Islam ALSO......

When you added up all the 'conversions' it came to more than the population of Sabah.

They also used persecution, and physical violence.

Blessings Susan.
