I traced this back to Caliph Umar himself:
Quote:It has been narrated by 'Umar b. al-Khattib that he heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) say: I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will not leave any but Muslim.

What's my point:
- Caliph Umar and his henchman Khalid ibn al-Walid (a.k.a "The Sword of Allah" ) started the invasion.
- Assyrian Christians who lived under persecution and discrimination by Islamic regimes have kept their faith.
Please stop turning this forum into Christian-Islam debates.
