JeezusCrazy thing is they spared the Christians in Iraq, for the most part. The Arabs had allowed them to continue their missions in the far east and by that time the Church Of The East had more members than did the Roman Catholic Church. Millions of adherents spread out from Iraq all the way to China. Harat in Afghanistan was the launching point for the missions to China, Japan and Korea. Much of their literature was in the Old Sogdian language of Sogdiana, not in the customary classical Syriac. There was even one Chinese pope of the Church Of The East, Mar Yahbh-Allaha lll, whose friend, an elderly Mongol-Turk Syriac monk was sent to Rome by Genghis Khan as his emissary to discuss an allegiance between Europe and the Mongol Horde against Islam which Genghis despised. In fact there were several Mongol Turk Assyrian Christian tribes that rode with the Horde and certain Khans had Christian wives.

You mean?
Even though I have read it it's still hurts me to lose it eh
@otaku1It's a shame, but I guess I can't share any more links to ancient books on this subject. I don't really know what's going on with that, but....
