About Syria

Submitted by Riva T Philip (India), Apr 13, 2005 at 05:19

Dear Rebecca,

Syria was a Christian state and ISLAMIC ARABS INVADED THAT STATE AND IMPOSED ARABIC LANGUAGE AND ISLAM. THEY DESTROYED THE HOLY LANGUAGE OF CHRISTIANS - ARAMAIC (THE LANGUAGE OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST SPOKEN)

Syriac is one dialect of Aramaic. The other is Assyrian.

I am a Syrian Christian (Marthoma Church) from India (now from Mumbai, native of Kerala, South India). We are Syrian Christians. Our church is a combination of Orthodox and Protestant chuches.

US and Russia must work together and invade Syria and give it back to Syrian Christians. Syria belongs to Christians and its language should be Syriac, not Arabic.
