...finally! One example. So let's process this and see where it's similar or different than what the boys claim. Like the Seminoles, the Inuit have no trouble proving anything and for all we know they had a deed or treaty similar to what the Seminoles have. The first hurdle is to be able to prove you are actually the people who everyone concedes once belonged to the land...no one doubts today's Inuit or Seminoles and several other native people.

But the similarity ends there. The boys have no such proof...not for them exclusively anyway. The argument that Assyrians were among the first Christians...and therefore that any Christians in Iraq today who say they are Assyrian MUST be related to the ancients is impossible to justify on any grounds. Since when does a foreign religion, one NEVER any part of the ancient people..."prove" that the members of that religion are "indigenous" all the way back to when there WAS no Christianity?

If they said the people of Iraq, regardless of which newer religions they adopted, Christians AND Muslims are all descended from the ancient people...and not JUST the ancient Assyrians, by the way... then they have a valid point. But so what...Iraq ALREADY belongs to them...all they're arguing about is, once again, NAMES...and, of course, "Iraq" IS a name from ancient Assyria...Uruk. It's not like the Arabs re-named the land North Arabia...or Muhammadland.

But what the boys want is in reality Christland..and that's where this whole thing collapses.

Besides which the lands returned to the native people of Canada would NOT include Montreal or Quebec...all of which lands belonged to them...I'm sure the land that was returned is of little economic use to the European settlers...no one is going to "give" BetNahrain, which has been among the richest lands ever...both in ancient times and today, to any Christian sect. Certainly no Muslims would ever consider such a thing and not only is the oil their's and not ours...but the land is their's as well, not Christianity's and certainly not of any American-"Assyrian" or whatever.

Still though, it IS a precedent. But the bottom line is the ability to prove you are who you claim you are...and that you ask back a portion of land that has no great value OTHER than as ancestral homelands makes a difference as well...I doubt the Seminoles will ever get Florida back...though Miami Beach is filled with Jews who demanded THEIR ancient homeland back.

The people of Iraq are ALL the descendants of the ancients...another reason this Christian bit of chicanery won't fly...ever.
