I agree!
Akhi Gentile - For your information, Dr. Kiraz also happens to be a deacon in the Syriac Orthodox Church. And don't let the title fool you - the church is very heavily Greek-based, part of the Byzantine tradition and are very dedicated Greek-primacists.
Finally, Mr. Kiraz studied under Dr. Sebastian Brock in Oxford - who, although a great Aramaic scholar, is part of the "establishment" (if you know what I mean - he sits on an influential "chair.") Prof. Brock would have never given Dr. Kiraz the credentials and degrees that he has, if Dr. Kiraz was a "nutcase" like us.
Draw your own conclusions......
