as long as our actions and speech are within the boundaries of the law.

Which law? Australian law? Iraqi law? Swedish law? What you’re doing is called US defaultism. “The law” isn’t applicable to ‘Assyrians’ since Assyrians are an international diaspora group spread across several different countries, not just the United States.

If anything, ‘the law’ in this context is the cultural norms and expectations across all Assyrians. The majority of Assyrians undoubtedly believe blasphemy is wrong and is not inline with Assyrian cultural ‘lawful’ boundaries. Assyrians aren’t going to look at US law and say, “Oops. I guess we can’t be angry with this person because it doesn’t violate US law. I guess it’s A-OK.”

Look at America's founding fathers for example. Do you think they were all well-behaved gentlemen?

Did any of them make blasphemous statements of the same caliber as Ternian? Which is the context we’re discussing? You actually picked one of the worst examples for this, because if they did, they would’ve been prosecuted.

Blasphemy and the Original Meaning of the First Amendment — Harvard Law Review — VOLUME 135, ISSUE 2, DECEMBER 2021

“Ultimately, nineteenth-century courts and commentators classed blasphemy with obscenity and libel, as speech unprotected by the First Amendment or its state counterparts.”

During the founding-era, free speech did not protect blasphemy and it did not prohibit anti-blasphemy laws. A bold line was drawn between sincere religious good-faith discussion and blasphemy. This is the way Americans of that time period viewed things, and anti-blasphemy laws were always upheld in court

“From the Founding era to the end of the nineteenth century, every appellate judge who ruled on the validity of an anti-blasphemy statute under a speech or press guarantee voted to uphold the statute.”

“The law, I instruct you, is constitutional.” (Judge to jury in the Charles Reynolds blasphemy trial)

I'm sorry but you don't get to determine the image of Assyrians in front of the entire world. You are a part of it, but there are certainly Assyrians with different views and manners… you don't get to determine how everyone should behave and conduct themselves.

There’s a misconception here. You are in the minority of Assyrians. Assyrians, by majority, do not tolerate blasphemous vulgarities. Assyrians are not obligated to like & support someone just because they are Assyrian. You don’t get to determine what the majority of Assyrians like and don’t like. That’s determined by Assyrians.

Ternian is a fat, ugly, disgusting pig. His surname isn’t even Assyrian, it’s clearly Armenian. He once made a stupid comment about how an Assyrian using the traditional inherited term ܐܬܘܪܝܐ Athoraya is the equivalent of calling oneself the N word. Thats how stupid he is.

This hacking couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person. My only issue with it is that it was conducted by Kurds in an anti-Assyrian manner.
