What makes this such a beauty to me is that Dr Joseph is specifically certified on the middle east and the Nestorians. These current assyrians, who are really just nestorians that speak syriac, commonly insist they were persecuted by muslims ecause of their religion and they were forcefully converted. I have read much of his book on google and he actually attributes the survival of these nestorians, jacobites and other sects who were persecuted by the romans for being heretics to Muslims. Islam protected these people and what were once persecuted people were now suddenly working as physicians and in other fields with Arabs. This part is either ignored or totally unknown to the nationalists who "demand" apologies along with other things from Muslims. Thomas Arnold also writes a great deal about the treatment of nestorians under islam and says the same exact thing. How could it be that bet-shlimon and aprim, who are not historians, happen to know things which professionals missed after all the years of research? No wonder historians are irrelevant and amateurs are taken over them.

Wikipedia is their place and what a perfect opportunity to provide scholarly information which shows the world what these people really are. And it's more beautiful when I see wiki asking for "scholarly" verification. It is clear that these are opinions of aprim and the likes. Anybody reading what you will provide can see and verify the material as John Joseph will not me mistaken for a janitor or engineer. The nationalists will have a fit and this ashur clown will say "who are you, talk to me, I wanna hear your voice" while totally ignoring the important thing.
