[Jeansuite]

No, they are a seperate ethnic group from the Arabs.

They are the ancient inhabitans of the area since Biblical times. But Nazi Islam conquered the area and Arabized all Middle Eastern people except The Jews. The Arab Muslim Nazis call all ancient Middle Eastern peoples Arabs even before there were any Arabs.

What do you mean ?

[Jeansuite]

Assyrian = any kind of Christian Arab.  Syria/Lebanon/Iraq etc.

I know an Assyrian girl from Iraq and she said that if she were to openly worship the lord openly there she would likely be murdered or raped, or both.

They always were in the middle east but they lived only in today's Saudi Arabia until they started with their invasions.

I'm surprised Saddam didn't kill them.

Surprised too. Do you guys have any Chaldeans where you are from?

[dhimmi_pride]

They've been Arabized. Saddam's deputy Tariq Aziz was an Assyrian Christian. They are called Nestorians and are a very ancient sect of Christianity before there were Catholics even. They are an Oriental Orthodox Church. Other Oriental Orthodox Churches are Maronite Lebanese Christians (Phoenician), Coptic Egyptians (Remnants of Pre-Arab Ancient Egypt.) and The Ethiopian Orthodox Church. There is also a Syrian Orthodox Church and even an Indian Orthodox Church that has been in India about 2,000 years long before modern missionaries ever came to India.

It is not correct to call them Nestorians or to say that they were there before Catholics. Nestorius was a Bishop of Constantinople who lived in the 5th century, he had a differing idea about the nature of Jesus and his relationship with Mary. He was labeled a heretic and caused a schism which led many Assyrians to break away from the Church- until this time they were under the authority of the Bishop of Rome. So up until this time Assyrians were all Catholic. But not all Assyrians broke away with Rome at this time and remained in the Catholic Church until the Great Schism between Rome and Constantinople. Relations between Assyrians and Rome were reestablished in the middle of the 17th century and finalized by the middle of the 19th century creating the Chaldean Church of Babylon. Tariq Aziz, like most Assyrians, is a Chaldean Catholic. The rest mostly belong to the Assyrian Church of the East who are "Nestorians". Those in Assyrian Church of the East do not refer to themselves as "Nestorians" and they still claim to be "catholic" and they have begun negotiations with the Vatican to come back into communion with them.

The Maronite Church is another Eastern Church in full communion with Rome. They are not Oriental Orthodox.

What about the historical Moors of North Africa? Were they berbers or some other ethnic group that became arabized? I get confused because I've read travel accounts by 19th-century travelers to Morocco and Algeria, who write about encountetring Arabs, Moors, and Berbers - as if these were three distinct groups of people co-existing in North Africa. Could someone enlighten me, please?

Moors were Black Africans, Berbers and Arabs. Berbers are the native people of west-north-africa area, and the Berbers were Arabized culturaly but they never considered themselvs as Arabs, infact, Berbers are rulling Tunisia, Algiria and Morcco almost immediately after the Arab took those land, they revolted against tham.

The Ancient Assyrians of Semitic origins from the upper Tigerous region and were not Arabians: Arabs but with origins from the city state of Assur (Hebrew).  Now if one wishes to discuss the Hittites and Hitusha that is a fascinating subject.

Moors were,for the most part,arab muslims.The word "moor" is European in its roots.

I don't know if they were mostly Arabs, but it's a sure fact that Berbers were a majoraty in north Africa.
