How do you feel about the Assyrian flag?
My question is mainly about the fact that a deity from a polytheistic pantheon appears on the flag, while the overwhelming majority of Assyrians are, as far as I understand, devout Christians. Is this something that actually comes up in conversation, is it a source of discomfort? Or do people simply view the deity in question as part of their cultural heritage, and therefore see no issue with having it represented on the flag?
Edit : Some people here seem to believe, for some reason I don’t understand, that I’m attacking the design of the Assyrian flag. I’m not even saying that such criticism would or wouldn’t be legitimate; I’m simply asking whether it exists. If a deity from the pre-Islamic Arab polytheistic era were depicted on the flag of Saudi Arabia, I would also wonder whether some Muslims might see an issue with it. Again, that would be nothing more than a question.
I’d be happy for someone to explain to me concretely what could possibly be problematic about what I’m asking, because I’m absolutely convinced that it’s perfectly reasonable and that there is no reason whatsoever for it to cause any tension.
