#5 "...the Christian Assyrian wives were instructed to go to a certain mosque and pay, which they did out of fear..."

What a shame it would be if this mosque was blown sky high. Together with those inside.

#7 The Assyrians have a great PR department. If one of them gets a hangnail, they issue a presser blaming the Moslems. This one is a doozy. Two cases reported to an anonymous government employee.

Protection money is a racket, whether the Irish, Italians or the Moslems do it. A thug is a thug.

And, let us not forget that some Assyrians did very well under Saddam. Could that be the source of the animosity, perchance?
