Lawrance Namato as he leads his congregation in a liturgy nearly 2,000 years old. The suited men and veiled women in the pews — nearly all of them Assyrian — join in the ancient chants as they pray for peace and resolution to a crisis both historic and modern: the persecution of their brothers and sisters in the Middle East.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indigenous to northern Iraq, Assyrians have lived in the region for more than 6,000 years. They converted as a people to Christianity in the first century A.D. and are one of the oldest continuous Christian communities in the world. But in the past century, violence and religious persecution have escalated, forcing most of them to seek safety in other countries. Some 10,000 now reside in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the rise of the self-described Islamic State, they now risk vanishing from their homeland altogether.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem is that “the Christians have nowhere to go,” said Namato, whose family fled Kirkuk, Iraq, when he was 14 as former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein rose to power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2LUkoEgF8A\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the parishioners at Mar Yosip are from Iraq or Iran, although a few are from Syria and other countries in the Middle East. Many in the community still have family in the Middle East: some who have remained by choice, others who are caught in the limbo of refugee camps as they await a chance at a new life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the rise of the Islamic State, Assyrians in the Bay Area have tried multiple avenues to help their relatives in the region. Some have petitioned the State Department to more forcefully defend Christians in the Middle East. Others are urging the United States Agency for International Development to directly fund Assyrian humanitarian aid groups. And others are working to get families approved for asylum in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'Before the war the Assyrians [in Syria] had a good life and they were safe. Now, they are targeted by everybody.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>But many in the community feel disappointed so far in the U.S. response. And there is a deep worry that this ancient group could disappear completely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We kind of feel like our life is paralyzed,” said Rochelle Yousefian, president of the Assyrian American Association of San Jose. “The government that we are so proud of living in, in the country of peace, is not taking any actions. It’s not even open to listen to these atrocities. It makes us feel hopeless; it makes us unproductive because we don’t know what to do, we don’t know how to help.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The history of Assyrian Christians in the Middle East has been punctuated by periods of violent persecution. In 1915, the year Assyrians call the Seyfo — “the year of the sword” — the Ottoman Empire slaughtered as many as 300,000 Assyrians. In 2003, it was estimated that 30,000 Assyrian Christians still lived in the city of Mosul in northern Iraq. But after the Islamic State captured the city in the summer of 2014, none remain — having been either killed or forced to flee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10796850\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-10796850\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/AssyrianLiturgy.jpg\" alt=\"The Assyrian liturgy -- which has been used by the Assyrian Church of the East for nearly 2,000 years -- is printed in English and the Assyrian language.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/AssyrianLiturgy.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/AssyrianLiturgy-400x533.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/AssyrianLiturgy-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/AssyrianLiturgy-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/AssyrianLiturgy-1440x1920.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/AssyrianLiturgy-1180x1573.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/AssyrianLiturgy-960x1280.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Assyrian liturgy -- which has been used by the Assyrian Church of the East for nearly 2,000 years -- is printed in English and the Assyrian language. \u003ccite>(Kaitlyn Landgraf/Peninsula Press)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“This is a genocide,” said Albert Nissan, a Mar Yosip parishioner who emigrated from Baghdad in 1975 and has family members still living there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The people who emptied Mosul of its Christians are the same people who bombed Paris,” he added, referring to the November attacks by Islamic extremists that killed 130 people and injured hundreds more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>No Safety in Syria\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the United States invaded Iraq in 2003, many Assyrians sought refuge in Syria, which was comparably peaceful at the time.

Now, they are targeted by everybody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February, the Islamic State captured around 230 Assyrian Christians in Syria and held them for a ransom of around $14 million. That month, Assyrian bishops in the United States called on Secretary of State John Kerry to take “concrete steps to help the remaining Assyrian Christians in the region to protect themselves.” The Islamic State released some of the sick and elderly prisoners, but continues to hold around 150 Assyrian Christian hostages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In October, three of the hostages were executed. One of the victims was the first cousin of a parishioner at Mar Yosip, and other family members are still being held for ransom by the Islamic State.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Asylum at Last\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June 2014, Shamiran left her village outside Mosul with her three teenage children on temporary visitor visas to attend a family wedding and visit her parents in the Bay Area, who are parishioners at Mar Yosip.

Lawrance Namato as he leads his congregation in a liturgy nearly 2,000 years old. The suited men and veiled women in the pews — nearly all of them Assyrian — join in the ancient chants as they pray for peace and resolution to a crisis both historic and modern: the persecution of their brothers and sisters in the Middle East.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indigenous to northern Iraq, Assyrians have lived in the region for more than 6,000 years. They converted as a people to Christianity in the first century A.D. and are one of the oldest continuous Christian communities in the world. But in the past century, violence and religious persecution have escalated, forcing most of them to seek safety in other countries. Some 10,000 now reside in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the rise of the self-described Islamic State, they now risk vanishing from their homeland altogether.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem is that “the Christians have nowhere to go,” said Namato, whose family fled Kirkuk, Iraq, when he was 14 as former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein rose to power.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/p2LUkoEgF8A'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/p2LUkoEgF8A'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the parishioners at Mar Yosip are from Iraq or Iran, although a few are from Syria and other countries in the Middle East. Many in the community still have family in the Middle East: some who have remained by choice, others who are caught in the limbo of refugee camps as they await a chance at a new life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the rise of the Islamic State, Assyrians in the Bay Area have tried multiple avenues to help their relatives in the region. Some have petitioned the State Department to more forcefully defend Christians in the Middle East. Others are urging the United States Agency for International Development to directly fund Assyrian humanitarian aid groups. And others are working to get families approved for asylum in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'Before the war the Assyrians [in Syria] had a good life and they were safe.

And there is a deep worry that this ancient group could disappear completely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We kind of feel like our life is paralyzed,” said Rochelle Yousefian, president of the Assyrian American Association of San Jose. “The government that we are so proud of living in, in the country of peace, is not taking any actions. It’s not even open to listen to these atrocities. It makes us feel hopeless; it makes us unproductive because we don’t know what to do, we don’t know how to help.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The history of Assyrian Christians in the Middle East has been punctuated by periods of violent persecution. In 1915, the year Assyrians call the Seyfo — “the year of the sword” — the Ottoman Empire slaughtered as many as 300,000 Assyrians. In 2003, it was estimated that 30,000 Assyrian Christians still lived in the city of Mosul in northern Iraq. But after the Islamic State captured the city in the summer of 2014, none remain — having been either killed or forced to flee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10796850\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-10796850\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/AssyrianLiturgy.jpg\" alt=\"The Assyrian liturgy -- which has been used by the Assyrian Church of the East for nearly 2,000 years -- is printed in English and the Assyrian language.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/AssyrianLiturgy.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/AssyrianLiturgy-400x533.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/AssyrianLiturgy-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/AssyrianLiturgy-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/AssyrianLiturgy-1440x1920.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/AssyrianLiturgy-1180x1573.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/AssyrianLiturgy-960x1280.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Assyrian liturgy -- which has been used by the Assyrian Church of the East for nearly 2,000 years -- is printed in English and the Assyrian language. \u003ccite>(Kaitlyn Landgraf/Peninsula Press)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“This is a genocide,” said Albert Nissan, a Mar Yosip parishioner who emigrated from Baghdad in 1975 and has family members still living there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The people who emptied Mosul of its Christians are the same people who bombed Paris,” he added, referring to the November attacks by Islamic extremists that killed 130 people and injured hundreds more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>No Safety in Syria\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the United States invaded Iraq in 2003, many Assyrians sought refuge in Syria, which was comparably peaceful at the time.

Now, they are targeted by everybody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February, the Islamic State captured around 230 Assyrian Christians in Syria and held them for a ransom of around $14 million. That month, Assyrian bishops in the United States called on Secretary of State John Kerry to take “concrete steps to help the remaining Assyrian Christians in the region to protect themselves.” The Islamic State released some of the sick and elderly prisoners, but continues to hold around 150 Assyrian Christian hostages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In October, three of the hostages were executed.
