Can't recall what that area's Christians are called; their ancient stone buildings
date back to early Christianity.


This is sort of a wild guess (and I'll probably stand corrected), but I vaguely
think the term "Chaldean" is applied to at least some Christians from that area.

IIRC, some of them are transplanted to Detroit. I read a story about a family of them running
convenience stores in the war-zones of Detroit...carrying Uzis when they transport
the days receipts to the car...
