Standaard Syrië: terroristen vallen Maaloula aan, waar Jezus' taal nog gesproken wordt, aramees

video
Gepubliceerd op 4 sep 2013
This footage from September 4, 2013 shows terrorists from the 'Revolutionaries of Bab Amr' Brigade of the "Free Syrian Army" (FSA) conducting a joint invasion with al-Qaeda's Jabhat al-Nusra (Nusra Front) of the only town in the world where the ancient language of Aramaic is still spoken by its inhabitants.

Religiously, the population consists of both Christians (mainly Antiochian Orthodox and Melkite Greek Catholic) and Muslims. For the Muslim inhabitants, the legacy is all the more remarkable given that they were not Arabized, unlike most other Syrians who like them were Islamized over the centuries but also adopted Arabic and shifted to an "Arab" ethnic identity.
