Mr. Parhad,

I remember having a similar conversation with you about two years ago on Bethsuryoyo. We didn't agree then and we are still in dissagreement. How can this Assyrian vs Christian dilemma be resolved? Leaving this issue up to individuals to decide whether they are Assyrian-Christians, Assyrian-Muslims, Assyrian-Atheists, and so on and so forth might be the best solution. We cannot make everyone who disagree's with us our enemy.

I'm sure you don't need anyone to admire you, but I for one admire you as a Sculptor and Artist and though i'm not a sculptor or a professional in this field, I find that your work is beyond amazing. I can agree with you on a few points, but I cant agree with you on all points, nonetheless this does not make you my enemy.

You said,"you are mistaken when you call yourselves Assyrians...you`vemerely tagged on the name to your Christian sects...you do nothing Assyrian."

I wont deny I believe in Christ, but I am also Assyrian, and you are wrong when you say "you do nothing Assyrian."

I can give you many examples but a very, very, small example of my love for my Nation and my Assyrianism is that at the age of 19, I represented the Assyrians from my school in a Multicultural Festival and in our community, and recited a poem about Nineveh in front of 3000 people. I made the dress for this occasion on my own by imagining how Shamiran may have dressed, or another Assyrian Lady, and I represented my Nationality! When looking at some of your sculptures, and then looking at the dress I made I think to myself that I didn't do a great job in making the dress very Assyrian, and that I should have researched Ancient Assyrian female clothing a little more, but nonetheless I did the best that I could do.

I may not be a great Assyrian Sculptor, but I think I created a small amount of awarness in our community by insuring that Assyrians were represented at this festival, and the reason I did it was not to be on some stage, but to honour my ancestors by letting people in our community know that Assyrians still exist today!

My point is that you are mistaken when saying that i'm just a Christian!
