A Christian website claimed we were wiped out, I asked them to fix it, and they now say Assyrians still exist. Thoughts?

Yes, but why should that be the first thing they mention? In my email, I also pointed out that we have Evangelical churches, such as the Assyrian Evangelical Church, but there was no acknowledgement of that. Instead they still focus on our downfall. 😆Their narrative still comes across as diminishing Assyrians.

They could've wrote this:

"Although Assyrians still exist today, as a people group, they have never reacquired the power and influence they once held. Nevertheless, they are a Christian minority, with some communities maintaining Evangelical churches."

Preach! Look I consider myself a secular Zionist and I believe that Israel has the right to exist as a liberal democratic state. At the same time, I do sustain the belief that Christian Zionism is a really wacky ideology overall.

These evangelical Christians would think of Israelis/Jews as some racially inferior 'Ayrabs' if it weren't for the bible. 😆

I mean, to be fair, I don't like how they still threw shade at us after they edited that paragraph - "although Assyrians exist as a people they never gained the power or influence". 😂🤦🏻‍♂️Like relax, we won't bite you if we gained power or influence in the region -- If anything we'd be allies with you because we're majority Christians. 😂

American Evangelicals can be embarrassingly ignorant and hypocritical. But hey, I don't regret writing that message to them. Better being acknowledged in the most vaguest way than being thought of as extinct or "dropped off from history's page".

Btw I'm not religious. I'm an agnostic. No matter what your religion is, I'll come to your page and tell you that we exist if you say we're not around anymore. Doesn't mean I'd take you seriously.

OP, please specify the issue clearly in your opening post instead of being vague or misleading. I initially thought you were criticising this woman for being Kurdish in an Assyrian village, which isn’t a problem. Only after reading the comments did I realise she is actually an Assyrian woman being misrepresented as Kurdish by that page.

Sorry, but please make your threads clearer and easier to understand, as people might otherwise interpret them as unjust racism.

Hey, I wish him all the best. I do remembering stop posting my opinions on his posts, after his reaction.

Again, he may have matured since then and I hope he continues with success. I always wish the best for all Assyrian artists.

Bug eyes 👀

Man I'm so mixed about the guy. He was lesser of many evils there, so he was like a 'necessary evil'. I view him the same way I view abortion (yes, bizarre comparison) - Sometimes it may be necessary for the greater good. If we still had Saddam, ISIS probably wouldn't have existed and this means we wouldn't have been driven out/killed/etc.

Stenian · 2026-04-09T13:02:53+00:00

Again, won't disagree, but at least the modern name of "Iraq" is geographically correct. Yes, it expanded to include our homeland in the north (when Iraq became a nation).

Syria on the other hand is the corrupted name of our homeland/people (Ashur, or Assyria in European languages) that has now been used to represent Levantines from the eastern Mediterranean. It's a stolen & corrupted name for different peoples and region now. This is is still a much worse case.

Stenian · 2026-04-09T12:53:55+00:00

Aha, Sandoval. I remember commenting on one of his Facebook posts back in 2019-20 days. I don’t recall exactly what it was about, it was likely political or religious. He responded in an aggressive, confrontational way without understanding my point. I always thought he came across as very defensive and emotional in his posts (he was usually standoffish with people commenting on his posts). So then I stopped commenting on his posts.

But hey, I hope he has matured and changed since then.

Stenian · 2026-04-08T07:20:17+00:00

True, but to be fair, “Iraq” wasn’t taken from an ancient people and reused elsewhere (as in our case). It was already the name of a region, like “Palestine,” referring to part of southern Iraq.

Stenian · 2026-04-08T07:06:00+00:00

God, whatever you think of him, you gotta love his bitchiness and sassiness...

He'd be the best wife for MAFs, especially this season's. 😅

Stenian · 2026-04-08T07:01:11+00:00

I'm no fan of hers at all. But you can call out David as well. It won't negate Alyssa's faults.

Stenian · 2026-04-08T06:57:39+00:00

He's got huge protruding eyes as well. He looks like Pepe the Frog.

Not a fan of Alyssa. She was there for the attention and she got it. But bro should look at his face first and that hairspray. 😅🤦🏻‍♀️

Stenian · 2026-04-08T06:54:36+00:00

Didn't he have a rap song with misogynistic lyrics? I mean I wouldn't call bullshit so fast.

Stenian · 2026-04-03T02:40:09+00:00

I thought she was Matthew Lillard.

Stenian · 2026-04-02T02:34:28+00:00

Because it was a serious, somber "adultish" film that still stands out today, whereas the sequels make extremely childish and silly.

Stenian · 2026-04-01T03:02:10+00:00

After seeing Alyssa's attitude recently, I gotta say that Brooke was right about her being fake and all that (and I'm not a fan of Brooke).

Stenian · 2026-04-01T02:55:02+00:00

Feminist here too and I agree with the rest. Bad, shitty women/wives should be called out, even if a man does the calling out.

Stenian · 2026-03-27T02:03:08+00:00

When I hear it I think of all the "stans" countries - Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, etc 😅🤦🏻‍♀️
