You notice how they accuse Dr. Joseph's of all kinds of things but can't refute or challenge his works? I been reading some of the things that these nationalists say of him and it's absurd but it also shows their inability when it comes to real challenges. They want to believe the things they were taught by their families and someone decided to do research rather than just going by "Muslims killed us and persecuted us" and all the other stories. They may not like him personally nor his book, but that is irrelevant because it's not his opinion but facts. They bring their "proof" which nothing more than their own opinion or fabrications which no one takes serious. If only Aprim had a building named after him or had a phd from a top University like that. They'll rather insult and throw all kinds of names at him than actually going after what he has to say.

As far as accomplished and credibility goes, Dr Joseph is by far the most successful Assyrian even though he gets no respect from his own community for his honesty. The thing that makes him a problem to these nationalists is that he is not an Arab, Kurd or a Muslim where they could call him a hater and an enemy but he is a Christian who was raised with the same myths, traditions and beliefs. Therefore, he is a traitor, a spy and everything else there is. It's like the lady nationalists which I had a little talk with. After a long nasty message with nothing but insults, she tells me how weak was your "Assyrian Pride" that you embraced Islam? In other words, is better to shut up and play along even if one has the evidence that his ways were false than to make changes or sacrifice. A person who has the courage to stop his former ways and is willing to follow what's right rather than family prejudices is considered a sell out rather than a champion. It takes courage, sincerity and love for truth to be able to do what Dr Joseph's does. More power to him and shame on those nationalists for not being able to challenge his book which is based on real sources and is of scholarly work.
