[Honorary Serb]

"Pravoslavophobia" comes from the word that means "Orthodox" in Serbian and other Slavic languages, "Pravoslav".

You should not consider yourself ignorant for not knowing the term, because it is only used by a few people--I believe that it was coined by Jim Jatras. However, the degree of hatred and prejudice against Orthodox Christians in general shown by the professional Serbophobes and Russophobes in our governing elites, and their academic hangers-on, deserves to have a term for it. (For example,when they associate the very laudable tendency of the Greeks to support the Serbs with a defect in the Orthodox charcter that overlooks "Serb atrocities", or they claim that Orthodoxy caused the Russians to become communist .)

Thanks,
Is the 'slav' part associated with same sound as in 'slavic'?
Sounds like making yourself the benchmark for all around you; fairly common to some cultures/language groups I think.

Pravoslavophobia used to be available on the web but at SUC it now brings up an error.
Jatras (Jim) is a brilliant writer. I have always loved his stuff.
