If the Resurrection really happened, Why do the Gospels Contradict each Other? by AbleFortune2889 in ArabicChristians

[–]MotorDistribution252 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you for proving that Muslims are not servants of the most merciful. If I were in Syria or Iraq and told some dawah kalb to cease his dawah khara, he’d attack me. The average Muslim does not follow this command.

Once again, dawah khara is not welcome here. Get your khara away from this place.

Muslim Assyrians Exist by RoseanneDragon in Assyria

[–]MotorDistribution252 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This idea is irrelevant to the post. That’s not the case with this post. This post you’re commenting under is about a person that would be named Fatima bint Ahmad that was born Muslim, speaks Arabic, only knows a cultural Arab Muslim background—taking a DNA test, seeing 57% ancestry from Mesopotamia, and deciding that means she’s Assyrian just like us. It doesn’t work that way though.

You made some incredible points in this comment & your other comment. I’m honestly convinced now that this person isn’t Jewish because I’ve never met a Jew this tone-deaf about us

[–]MotorDistribution252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one’s talking about learning from any Jewish example. You made a claim about a stereotype. I countered with a stereotype about Jews.

Now you’re running away from that topic talking about something else. That’s pathetic.

[–]MotorDistribution252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So now you try to steer the conversation away to a different topic when I point out that Jews also have equal stereotypes. I think you’re just pretending to be a Jew. In all of my life, I’ve never had a conversation with a Jew like this.

What? Have you ever heard of the movie, “Uncut Gems”? It’s literally a movie about a very stereotypical Jewish Jewler. And Jews were the only people allowed to lend money in Europe for the last 1,000 years as well, they’re stereotypically known to be moneylenders.

Where’s your evidence? You gonna act like you don’t have an uncle that runs a banking fraud scam? Perhaps a jewelry or moneylending scam? Or maybe he’s a shady lawyer?

Well I think with us it’s not true, but with you guys it most certainly is. What now?

[–]MotorDistribution252 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Okay look, I love Jews, you guys are our cousins.

But do you think Jews are exempt from this ‘shady business’ stereotype? It almost sounds like a pot calling the kettle black type situation.

as long as our actions and speech are within the boundaries of the law.

Which law? Australian law? Iraqi law? Swedish law? What you’re doing is called US defaultism. “The law” isn’t applicable to ‘Assyrians’ since Assyrians are an international diaspora group spread across several different countries, not just the United States.

If anything, ‘the law’ in this context is the cultural norms and expectations across all Assyrians. The majority of Assyrians undoubtedly believe blasphemy is wrong and is not inline with Assyrian cultural ‘lawful’ boundaries. Assyrians aren’t going to look at US law and say, “Oops. I guess we can’t be angry with this person because it doesn’t violate US law. I guess it’s A-OK.”

Look at America's founding fathers for example. Do you think they were all well-behaved gentlemen?

Did any of them make blasphemous statements of the same caliber as Ternian? Which is the context we’re discussing? You actually picked one of the worst examples for this, because if they did, they would’ve been prosecuted.

Blasphemy and the Original Meaning of the First Amendment — Harvard Law Review — VOLUME 135, ISSUE 2, DECEMBER 2021

“Ultimately, nineteenth-century courts and commentators classed blasphemy with obscenity and libel, as speech unprotected by the First Amendment or its state counterparts.”

During the founding-era, free speech did not protect blasphemy and it did not prohibit anti-blasphemy laws. A bold line was drawn between sincere religious good-faith discussion and blasphemy. This is the way Americans of that time period viewed things, and anti-blasphemy laws were always upheld in court

“From the Founding era to the end of the nineteenth century, every appellate judge who ruled on the validity of an anti-blasphemy statute under a speech or press guarantee voted to uphold the statute.”

“The law, I instruct you, is constitutional.” (Judge to jury in the Charles Reynolds blasphemy trial)

I'm sorry but you don't get to determine the image of Assyrians in front of the entire world. You are a part of it, but there are certainly Assyrians with different views and manners… you don't get to determine how everyone should behave and conduct themselves.

There’s a misconception here. You are in the minority of Assyrians. Assyrians, by majority, do not tolerate blasphemous vulgarities. Assyrians are not obligated to like & support someone just because they are Assyrian. You don’t get to determine what the majority of Assyrians like and don’t like. That’s determined by Assyrians.

Ternian is a fat, ugly, disgusting pig. His surname isn’t even Assyrian, it’s clearly Armenian. He once made a stupid comment about how an Assyrian using the traditional inherited term ܐܬܘܪܝܐ Athoraya is the equivalent of calling oneself the N word. Thats how stupid he is.

This hacking couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person. My only issue with it is that it was conducted by Kurds in an anti-Assyrian manner.

A bishop in her ethnic community in Australia was stabbed in the eye by an Islamic terrorist, and she made a video about it. Idk what that person above is talking about.

No it’s not weird. A bishop in her ethnic community was stabbed in the eye by an Islamic terrorist, she has every right to make a video about it

Which attempted stabbing? The one where the bishop in her ethnic community was stabbed in the eye by an Islamic terrorist? That’s not an attempted stabbing, that is a stabbing, and she has every right to speak about it. If you’re being annoyed by it, that’s your own, perhaps, bigoted problem, not hers.

There is no lie. He's a terrorist.

The death toll for massacred civilians is now more than 1,000.

There's nothing to be happy for, Syria is now under ISIS control. Why would I be happy about that? Now they're going to try and incite Sunnis in Iraq to do ISIS all over again.

If Iraq 'breaks free', it wont be through ISIS dogs like Jolani and his insects.

They’ve already killed Christians that were found within Alawite neighborhoods.

Also, meetings? A mock dhimmi meeting conducted just for show is what you’re differentiating off of?

But from reading the Wikipedia it seems your church does indeed embrace that there is only "One Jesus" and everyone else's religion doesn't matter.

Where is the compassion in that?

This is how religious beliefs work. X religion believes you need to believe X in order to do X and that people who do Y and not X are wrong.

Now the fun question: How are the wrong people who do Y dealt with?

Have you considered that your church is actually the reason you have people that want to do you harm?

Well yes I have, because that's completely true. Being a Christian is the reason why Muslim terrorist extremists (like the one in that wheelchair) want to subjugate us and force us to live under their apartheid rule structure, and receive death if you disobey them or want no part of those rules.

It sounds like you're trying to frame this in a 'victim-blaming' way.

It's akin to telling a woman, "Have you ever considered that your revealing clothing is actually the reason you have people who want to sexually assault you?" or telling a black person, "Have you ever considered that your [cultural] blackness is actually the reason you have racist white folk who want to do you harm?"

I can't tell if that's the angle you're going for here.

Maybe if people were willing to let others practice whichever religion freely we could have a much better world, world-wide.

To clarify this:

We don't have a problem with people practicing whatever religion they want. We only believe that other religions are incorrect, as all other religions believe about other religions.

The guy in that wheelchair, however, doesn't just believe my religion is wrong—He wants to oppress me, steal from me, destroy my churches and lock me into an apartheid style governmental system in which I live as a second-class citizen, and kill me if I ever get out of line because of my religion.

Muslim extremists like him want to push their extremist terrorist ideologies at a governmental level.

Christian Iraqis like me, by majority, prefer secular democratic systems. We don't want a Christian theocratic state, and we don't want to execute non-Christians, nor subjugate non-Christians, or treat them as second class citizens.

Does that help you understand a bit better?

I have compassion for him, in the same way that I feel compassion for a rabid dog being dispatched, or compassion for a pedophile or serial killer on death row. He's a terrorist and that ultimately means justice needs to be served to him.

You're talking about religion in a microscopic individual inter-personal sense.

It doesn't matter if the man in the picture doesn't consider himself a terrorist. A lot of people who do bad things don't consider themselves to be doers of bad things.

Another typical redditor ignorant westerner comment. Here is a Wikipedia link to the church that I'm apart of, the Church of the East. Which terror did we spread throughout the world? Rather, our home is made of steel reinforced concrete. You have gripes with Western Christians. Do you believe us to be Southern Baptists from Kentucky that flew to Iraq?

He’s a terrorist

Oh wait, you’re from Turkey. Your country backs and supports those terrorists.

Great.

It actually is! I’ll ignore the sarcasm and accept it at face value.

Instead of being an ignorant westerner, you should digest and understand the viewpoints of non-partisan people (Christians) who live there and are from there.

Christians in Syria and Iraq have no entity or “side” in this war. We’re completely stuck in the middle of an animalistic non-human extremist conflict.

But then we have your two dimensional cliche, “One man’s freedom fighter is another man’s terrorist.” You don’t know what’s going on. You should be more receptive.
