Why I am not allowed to dream in the Middle East?

The Christian Middle Eastern person is never allowed to dream about a future in his or her mother country.

Why can’t I dream of becoming a president in my own society? The society I gave name too and have all of my and my grandparent’s history, culture and habits in. I give sweat and blood again and again and get nothing back. Well, I might get to not be killed at the first anger moment my neighbour get. That is a victory for me. Every day I or my family wakes up alive in the Middle East is a victory for us. What will happen if I didn’t wake up? Or if someone in my family gets killed some day, or beaten or raped or robbed? Well, as we can see today, what will happen is: NOTHING.

Absolutely nothing, no one will ever get prosecuted and even if some one get they would never implement the verdict.

I as a Christian Middle Eastern individual want to be able to dream of talking my mother language the way I wish.

I want to be able to look back in my country and be proud of my history, I don’t want any one to come and change my history, my names for the villages, my culture, my way of life. 

I want to dream of becoming a president.

I want to be whatever I can be in my own country.

Let’s hope that the Arabic Muslim regimes of the world wake up and start to treat its people as human beings. Not just as followers and it is in the end the people that suffer the most.

God bless those leaders and let them think with more wisdom and ambition.

Long Live the Free Aramaic Organization and nation.
