...that pretty neatly sums up the assyrian nationalist position. No matter what history or science or sociology or psychology says, THEY know the "truth". This is the attitude of a religious fanatic and is exactly opposite to anything political. Politics is the art of compromise. No one gets all they want, or even close to it. But you can't compromise in religion...in religion you can say, you HAVE to say, "no matter what". No matter what I have "faith"....contrary to all signs and evidence, I "believe". To compromise in religion means you aren't sincere, it means you aren't dedicated, or devoted, that you're a back-slider. You have to believe in your religion no matter what. You can't hold the same fanatical attitude in politics....

These people are all religious fanatics. But that isn't even accurate. Bet-Shlimon is no Christian...or a very sorry one. His religion is a cover for racism and bigotry, the same way Nazis were religious. They hated Jews, Bet-Shlimon hates Muslims. There's really no difference between the two, not in substance.

Bet-Shlimon and the rest blame other people and events for their own failures. Like the Nazis who blamed Jewish bankers, or Jewish intellectuals, or Jewish Bolsheviks, or Jewish suitors for Christian women, they had to explain away their own failures as due to the nefarious machinations of someone else...someone they felt safe in hating. Bet-Shlimon blames Islam for his pathetic showing as a human bean. So does Aprim and Jassim and the rest of them. They COULD educate themselves, they COULD branch out and examine and explore and question, they COULD join the civilized world in viewing history as our common human experience and not something that happened to THEM!...but they refuse because to do so would mean possibly turning their backs on the priests who first stroked their balls and the parents who made them believe they were naturally gifted and superior to "those" people.

To listen to them you'd think that no on else in the history of the world suffered...lost property, had relatives killed etc. If only the Jews, and now the Muslims, could be removed, or killed, or somehow punished and held back, Bet-Shlimon and Aprim would become "grat". Like they were meant to be, like they would have been had not the Arabs conquered BetNahrain...except for one thing...one fact: had the Arabs not saved them, the Byzantines would have killed them...or forcibly converted them to their brand of orthodox Christianity.

That's the irony of it all...it wasn't Islam that ruined them...it was Christianity. Islam saved the assholes. No matter what.
