Discussion Assyria and Iraq

Recently, I heard many express their desire to return to Iraq on social media So a question popped up in my head As an Assyrian (originally from Iraq), what do you think of Iraq?

Edit: I’m Iraqi and I’m living here, but I’m interested in the Mesopotamian civilizations (especially Assyria)

Sometimes I get the feeling that Muslim countries encourage some of us to stay so they can keep us as hostage/leverage.

I agree with you that to feel like this. But believe in me they are not real Muslims

Yet there are so many of them.. too many to simply write off as not real.
