The United States is forcing Americanization on everyone, but Assyrians especially. This shocking development can be most easily seen since 9/11 when Assyrians everywhere were forced to display American flags. The unthinkable even happened to our churches where we NEVER allowed any nationalism to enter...but not even there did Uncle Sam have any respect and this writer for one saw the American flag plastered on the doors of an Assyrian church. It's TRUE!!!
Of course this is just the latest in a long list of bold and brazen attempts to wipe out the Assyrian name here. Like when Firas Jatou was "forced" by this dastardly government and its cohorts to become "Ross Jatou" instead. I tell you it is CRIMINAL!!!
And what about our young people...forced to buy American Pop music and mark their bodies with tribal Christian American markings...and what about becomming GAY for god's sake...how many of our young men have been FORCED out of closets and into shameful lives as homosexuals!!!! Without even being allowed to express their SHAME and OUTRAGE!!!
What about picking up disgusting street talk and behavior? What about making them call each other "niggers" and "dogs" and wear clothes too big for them.. all in an effort to make them conform and blend in.
Thank god we don't live in Iraq.
