This may just be the first project that we, as a community or hodgepodge of whatever-we-are's can work on together without consideration/bias because of dialect, religion, or region.
We've got Chaldeans, Assyrians, and all sorts of yoyos working together... as well as people from all of the various churches (and those who don't belong to churches at all), we have people in Canada, Detroit, Chicago, California, even Northern Iraq... and between... all working toward this common goal.
It may end up, in a tragic, strange sort of way that Lina's plight (and subsequent recovery...keep your eyes on the prize) was a very good analogy or metaphor (not sure which) for certain members of our community finally putting aside these petty differences and accomplishing something... anything!
The glass is half full.
