...obviously he is not a village priest, I never said such a thing, also friends of mine in San Francisco have had him over to dinner many times etc, so we all know he's no priest...but if you're right that he isn't an Assyriologist, I wonder what he was doing giving a lecture on ancient Assyria. I appreciate that you appreciate such things as the status of being a professor Emeritus and all that implies...when we get done with Gaunt, another white Euro, it's going to be interesting to see how you react to another professor with that same status and even more and who is from OUR community and whose book we can count on you taking an equal interest in. Because if you reject, or discount Professor Joseph and his works, then we're going to cancel out Gaunt and all of his.....see, see why being honest is best?

than he was a brit and no good and than you had heared him at an assyrian convent, you dont know who he is but is ready do dismiss him because he dosent fitt your agenda, this is why you dont have any credibility.

...slow down...I'll be happy, more than happy, to read anything by him and weigh it against his area of expertise...I already knew of him and heard him....there is no way I would NOT want to know about him...that is the difference between you and me.


You want evidence that is black or white i cant give that to you because the questions regarding history and identity are complex but here is a guy that answers the genocide question, but of course he is no good

....not complex at all where there is sufficient recorded information....our challenge to any assyrian was to provide evidence, IF it exists, that

a. Muslims killed people JUST for their religion.
b. Muslims forcibly converted people on pain of death.

You say it is difficult to find solid evidence etc for these "difficult" questions. That could be because for your claims there IS no such evidence....however there exists plenty of evidence that...

a. Muslims didn't do these things

b. Christians did these things.

We have posted the actual quotes and writings and can bring you plenty more...again, please remember we are not talking about OUR opinions or srgukments, but the actual words and writings of qualified historians...I might mention again that I gave you a quote from Edward Gibbon and Rashad provided quotes from Juan Cole, neither of which you have responded to but are back here with your Gaunt....but okay, we'll play along...since there exists plenty of evidence that Christians did these things, then you can't say it is a difficult or obscure field...there just isn't any evidence for YOUR claims...there is plenty of evidence for OUR claims....also because we are not the ones dealing in propaganda, you are. We are not reflecting what we were taught by our community or priests but with the posiiton held by all those actual historians while you want your grandmother, and Gaunt, to have the last word because you LIKE that word.

...let's stick to the original issue, which had nothing to do with Turks or Armenians or the great assyrian fraud.

The issue has always been those two claims made by our community...you should know them by heart by now....once we settle that we will be most happy and eager to tackle any other subject you choose.
