It is a lie, that the Roman Catholic Church "persecuted" Syriac churches for using different Rite. Of course they did not! Maronites were uniate Catholics, as were many Melkites (Byzantines), and the vast majority of the Chaldean Christians were and are in union with the Holy See of Rome.

It seems you believe anti-Roman myths.

The Crusades of course caused complex civil unrest, but never massacres like 1915-1917.

@IustitiaPax It is the other way around, the Catholic church should come back! for they splitted from the Orthodox church!

@octavios88 Shlomo my friend, I am friends with many suryoye! God bless your people!

But love your enemy! Do not swear at them!

Lustitial:

You are so right, Syriac Catholic should unite with Syraic Orthodox, it has been enough time for separation. Most of them come back, specially in Us and Europe.

There is mor to unite us, than to separate us.

@TNTheConqueror The Ottoman Empire was tolerant, but still took Jannitsaries, stole Christian children to Islamize them, islamized rebellious regions, islamized or killed áll Albanian Catholics (Latin Christians), and took high taxes from tolerated Christian minorities and Christian majorities. The Dervishme practice took 100,000s of native Christian children to become Muslim warriors by indoctrination. The Ottomans were however more tolerant than the secularist Young Turks sadly.

@IustitiaPax If Ottomans or other Muslims would persecute them, they wouldn't exist to this day. If our forefathers would intend to eradicate those who is not from them they could. But they didnt. Now see 30+ countries who became a country after Ottomans collapse see how they still do (i mean, religion, music, tradition, language) what they were doing before Ottomans occupied their lands for their own good. Ottomans occupied foreign lands not to kill their citizens but to build their cities...

[IustitiaPax]

The most servere persecutions happened under the secularist Young Turks in the latter-day Ottoman Empire. Of course medieval Muslim caliphs protected the monophysite Syrians from the Byzantine Church and its persecution. I do not believe your allegation, that Latin crusaders harmed the Syriac monophysite Christians: Maronites were all Western Syrian Rite and all in union with Rome. Syriacs opened the gates of Antioch to the Latin crusaders; Jews opened them for the Muslims.

@ lustitiaPax

The persecutions by the Ottomans , Turks and Muslims ?

Are you sure ?

When in actual fact ; most of the time - the Caliphs of the Muslim empire actually protected them - rather - then persecute them or force them into conversions.

The WESTERN CRUSADES were the ones who killed more than , i would not want to say how many , Syriac Orthodox or Antioch Church believers due to different rite of liturgy from their western roman catholic ways.

Read your history bub.
