Here’s the list of the countries where Orthodox Christians are dying: http://www.ocai.info/Site/Welcome.html
So list the Orthodox Serbs being killed in Croatia at present.
“So list the Orthodox Serbs being killed in Croatia at present.”
You mean, I assume, today? The hundreds of thousands killed by Croats since 1940 aren’t enough? That, D, is, well, odd. Let’s assume that today, or say, for the six months, no Croat killed any Orthodox. Are you proud of that or disappointed? If no Orthodox were killed, but more Orthodox Churches were seized and closed to Orthodox worship, is that a good thing? Is it better, or less objectionable, that the Croats apparently didn’t use American money to finance the killing of the Orthodox? If an American says that the Croats, the former Nazis who are now our allies (remarkably like the Albanian Mohammedans in that respect) killed hundreds of thousands of Orthodox Serbs since 1940, is that a sign of “disloyalty” to America?
In fact, three Orthodox Christians are in government, one is a V-P. The Serbian Orthodox Church is a recognized religion with full rights in Croatia, and engages in its activites without problems. Croatia has a quarter million Orthodox Christians that consider Croatia their home.
I have never been in Kosovo and Metohija. Nevertheless, I identify strongly with Haynes, a former Presbyterian who as a result of his experiences in Kosovo converted to Orthodox Christianity.
I, a Lutheran, started out in 1999 as a pro-Serbian activist and advocate, and one linking Serbian Orthodox and Lutheran Christians in humanitarian aid for refugees from Kosovo residing in central Serbia. My involvement in the Serbian community, including worship, has been leading me on my own journey to Orthodoxy, just like Haynes. Perhaps St. Sava, and well as the pre-schism Western saint whose name I bear, have been helping to lead me to Orthodoxy together with the Holy Spirit.
I was in my Serbian Orthodox congregation yesterday, and we remembered in the Liturgy the new martyrs who died in the NATO bombing. (The anniversary of the beginning of that event is today.) May their memory be eternal!!!!
The West ignores it, because it either doesn’t care or the parties doing the killing are viewed as a more valuable ally than the Orthodox.
In reality, it is more the latter than the former. Which makes me wonder sometimes just whose side the government is on.
“Which makes me wonder sometimes just whose side the government is on.”
Oh, that has become increasingly easy to discern. The government is on the side of Money, Mohammedanism (which they think they can control and tame with secularism but which they need because Arab oil money funds their campaigns) and the globalist New World Order. BTW, it doesn’t make a tinker’s
dam worth of difference which party is in control.
Yes, Croatia's latest claim to fame: No Anti-Orthodox atrocities for almost 9 consecutive years! (Of course, there's a lot fewer Serbs around these days.)
But the century is still young!
It's all academic anyway.....a quarter million Serbians have rejected Greater Serbian politics and accept Croatia as their homeland.
Funny how your numbers have magically doubled?
It is unfortunate if some of my brother Serbs are willing to step over Serbian graves in search of jobs in the Ustashe state of Croatia, better that we leave that to the Muslims who will rape their way into your families.
