...and his professor in Thrace and the grandmother and the religious writers who have to print their own books because no publisher will touch them...let's accept all of them as real and factual and right and accurate etc., but let's also ask why he can't find a single actual expert in MidEast history to back them up or scores and scores of websites that all say Muslims are bloodier than Christians? Why hasn't he been able to search the web, as easily as we have, and come up with tons of unimpeachable sources who agree with that grandmother?...and how do you ignore Dr Joseph and his findings that there is no such thing as modern assyrians, or put him in the same category as an engineer who invents history as he goes along?...and where are the other accredited sources, in THIS field, who contradict Joseph...and why can't toto find actual historians to back up the grandmother and the rest of his sources, by the thousands, as we have easily found those who back us up?

What would toto say if the shoe were on the other foot? What if toto could find hundreds of professors from Princeton and Yale and Harvard and other universities who back up all of his fantasies...and what if all we could come with was a grandmother, some Muslim clerics and a teacher in Istanbul....what if the Encyclopedia Britannica and the Americana and hundreds of other respected reference sources all had sections devoted to the existence of modern Assyrians and all we could find was a journal put out, not by historians but by doctors and taxi drivers who contradicted all the historians and experts....what would toto then say to our grandmothers and that teacher in Istanbul?

Wouldn't he laugh and scorn our "sources"...wouldn't he point out that they were fine, as far as they went, but where was our Gibbon and Toynbee and Durant confirming that there was no genocide in Turkey, or no such thing as assyrians...when all of Oxford University and the Sorbonne and Harvard all taught course on the miraculous survival of this "strong community that kept its assyrian heritage etc."?

Why is it that toto is forced to bring us such shabby sources and then INSIST that we, and the entire academic world, take him and them seriously....how come these amateurs are ALL that he can find?
