I wanna first thank and condemn Jacob for leading me to start this lol. What is your take on Assyrians and circumcision, from like family, cousins, etc., those are kids now and were born in America over the last few years, were they circumcised? Is it generally healthier? do you have any idea...
OK, this is forbidden in our culture from what I know, yet with the practice becoming now virtually universal among non practicing Moslem/Jewish Iranians here in America, how do you see it's place or lack thereof in our culture?
I have read the Book of Mormon for a Religious Studies class for most intends and purposes and I am highly befuddled by their positions towards Assyrians and Chaldeans and the strong language [vitriol] that Joseph Smith uses, let alone their unusual views regarding the Apocalypse, marriage as an...
I lost the signal a year ago. Is it hopeless to seem them in America anymore or is everyone else still getting them off a different frequency or possibly via the "other" system that European channels are on and the normal dish can't unblock? If your answer involves the "other" system any advice...
This song makes my bones jump, not just give me goosebumps. B' khooba d' Alaha somone post this song on YT. I know Ahsoor is great about this stuff and posts everything from Ashur TV, and the Debate recently, and also Shemsha d' Kheroota by Ruaid Albert, but this song is absolutely historic...
I believe this will ring out in the fields of Nuhadra on New Year's Day later this week:
Khayedon--Ninos David
Khayedoon Khayedoon sniqewakh ul khooyadokhoon,
Parqoonla ah Umta men noora o doorashokhoon.
Bassa men karba o sneta basa men raqi mkheta,
Hal iman aha Umta go edatokhoon meta...
One of the coolest Chaldean songs I've heard, especially songs dedicated to a village, let's all remembers our days in Tescopa mathan when we hear this. Also, Issam has made in my view the best song (out of dozens sung) about Alqosh, on his website www.issamarabo.com...
In "family jewels" not a gender specific term for the genitals of male babies. I heard someone used with regards to a baby girl and thought it was a misuse of slang. Anyone agree with me?
I found this song very interesting. I have heard pretty much all of Melis's songs and find them very interesting. I wanted to know if anyone has a vid, mp3, or even just lyrics if you don't have more of the song. Thanks.
Recently (Sunday 1 March 2009) Mar Awa Royel, the newly appointed US-born bishop of the Western California diocese of the Assyrian Church of the East, secretly ordered the priests, deacons and sub-deacons of St. Zaia Cathedral in Modesto that they, and all other clergy of the Assyrian Church of...
I wanted to know if anyone has heard the name Ala'a Mansour before, and what Ala'a could mean other than the name of the Creator. As a Chaldean, this guy is apparently Chaldean but I have never heard this name before. Also, what on Earth does Loya, I asked and someone told me "Comrade" is the...
I heard these songs at some haflas in Australia, one was "di zmoron b' qala raama" and then continued. The second was "shimsheela o lelee saara." I wanted to know the title and original singer of these cuz I loved them. George Mansur sang both and there used to be at some point on Yt of this...
I wonder why Sam Darmo does not change the name to Chaldeans For Justice, because he seems to know his true Chaldean rots and wants to return to them and the Mother church. If he wants to be frank, he should do it. Forget...
Anyone know where it is (in Sweden), or if it is even marked? Thanks. I really want to go and physically thank him one day for all he did during his life.
Is it just me or are all the Chaldean and Assyrian leaders, from the federations to mere cultural centers in some region, led by incompetent people who prove to those who eleced them day in and day out that they are min3afiq (hyprocrites, nazbibapeh is the Assyrian term, which Sam Darmo...
I just want to know if anyone out there thinks it is possible for Mar Bawai Soro to succeed Mar Emmanuel III Delly as Chaldean Patriarch, and if you believe such possibility exists, do you think such thing will happen? Personally, I think it is possible, and that Mar Bawai will more likely than...
We were discussing this on Chaldean Chat the other day, and I was wondering whether you have ever heard of any Chaldean/Assyrian having their son(s) circumcised, and second, why someone would do such thing. Thanks.
When will it be, which positions are up for grabs, who do you handicap to get ordained, who is moving out of the Church, and who is moving within the Church? Thanks.
There is a picture that Sam Darmo likes to show when the show begins. I wanted to know who is the man located betwen Sahda Mar Shimun Benyamin and Sahda Mar Eshai Shimun, right above the gavel. I hope someone knows. Thanks.
So do you. I speak numerous languages fluently (being in America English, Spanish, and a handful of others). I think it is unfortunate, pathetic, despicable, digusting, and just odd to not speak your mother tongue. Please give your two cents worth.
I honestly believe we Chaldeans and Assyrians as well should ban Moslem singers. I am singling out Hussam al-Rassam and the Iranian singer Leila Forouhar(whose husband openly backs the IRI regime, which oppresses us Catholics and all other non-Moslems). These people are despicable Moslems who...
