The Assyrians have a long history and abide strictly by original Christian teachings. They became known in Lebanon after thousands of them left Iraq to escape from the Turks. The Alawites were harshly persecuted by many, suffering from deprivation and homelessness, but they held on to their Jaafarite faith.
