And Then There Is This:

Michael L.

Assyrians  

Yezidis

Hebrews (i.e. Jews)

Copts

Imazighen

Baluchis

Kurds

I had no idea that we were actually part of a small group of people under domination by a much larger aggressive majority!

But I am willing to go with it.

I have terrific sympathy for the Kurds and the Egyptian Christians (Copts), but in my ignorance I knew nothing of either the Imazighen or the Baluchis.

{Who?}

However, if they represent a non-or-semi-Muslim minority in the Middle East outside of Israel than they are living under oppression.

That much goes without saying.

By the way, I am no longer a big fan of the upward fist thing.  It may have been cool circa 1972, when I was iddy-biddy, but I think that we are done with it.

Don't you?
