Generally it is the lowest of the low, I mean intellectually, who fall for this I-am-Ashurbanipal nonsense. You can almost feel sorry for them...they have achieved very little and so think to gain instant status by promoting their supposed roots. And the easiest way to explain away their sorry state is to say they were victims of someone else´s perfidy, meaning Muslims, of course.

The saddest thing for me is not the Aprims and other taxi drivers, I expect nothing more from them...but when I think of the otherwise educated among us whose minds turn to mush when they too contemplate their "greatnesss". This so-called identity is really born of the same kind of blindness that goes into religious faith, which you also can´t challenge without being called a heretic etc. And while maybe you shouldn´t challenge people on their religious faith, you certainly can and should challenge them when they make similar faith-based statements about their nationality or ethnicity...I know the Border Guards do...so do passport officials and others.

Your faith is your business, less true of Evangelicals which make their faith everyone else´s business...but your nationality can not be accepted "on faith"...neither can your bank account, credit rating, income tax statements etc...for everything else you need proof....of course you don´t need any for your religious beliefs, even though nine out of ten religious people are hypocrites and liars anyway...still, there´s no need to ask them to prove they are Christian...but someone who claims to be an actual Assyrian has to prove it...his "faith" that he is and his insistance that faith never needs to be proven, is bogus. You don´t have to prove you are Christian to anyone but yourself....but by god you have to PROVE you are French...or German....or American....or Assyrian.

Language won´t do because anyone can learn a language...culture won´t do because no one knows what Assyrian culture is...all they´ve done is add "Assyrian" to their Nestorian or other culture. Religion certainly doesn´t qualify because there is no Assyrian religion...there are only offshoots of Judaism.

There is literally nothing any of us can point to that would prove to anyone other than our cousins that we are who we say we are. It´s all just a question of our "faith" and "belief"...which is fine when sipping tea but not when demanding of the United Nations an "Assyria"....jeezuz h. christ!!!!
