Good for you! Your comments are spot on! This is a republic, not a theocracy; he is the elected president, not the chief priest or mullah!

As for the rest of you, I just returned from the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostomos, the oldest liturgy regularly used in Christianity; the same Liturgy my family has been attending for the past 1700 years or so. My people also spent hundreds of years under the heel of the Mohammadens. We understand Christianity, put together the canon of Scripture you all use and quote from and certainly understand what we Christians are up against with Islam. But here's the truth, when I go to Liturgy in an Arab Christian Church, I pray to "Allah", when I pray the prayer of +Isaac the Syrian, I do full body prostrations...just like Orthodox people have been doing for 1700 or more years! And from an Orthodox Christian pov, the president said absolutely nothing which is blasphemous or inappropriate. If you want to blast him, blast him for that idiotic remark about Islam being the Religion of Peace, but not for this stuff! Your comments do no credit to Christianity.

Fascinating information in your message and your freeppage.

How little most Christians know about the history of their faith.
