It think you've forgotten a few rounds in that war--the Serbian Tsar-Martyr Lazar and Romanian Vlad Tepec should be thanked as much as Charles Martel and Jan Sobieski for the preservation of the Gospel in Europe.

Not a protestant among them. Of course, maybe you protestants can make up for your Latin forebearers having stabbed the Orthodox in the back during the Fourth Crusade, irreparably weakening the Roman Empire* that had been the bulwark against Islam for four centuries, by shouldering a bit of the load now.

Do you think there are not Latin or Orthodox Christians fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan? The Romanians fighting in Afghanistan have built the only church in the entire country. I've got a godson who found Orthodoxy at that church while serving as a USAF EOD-tech in Afghanistan. And I seem to recall a lot of Hispanic names among those winning medals for valor in our recent campaigns. I really suspect they aren't all Spanish-English bilingual Baptists and Pentecostals.

Oh, by the way, great job defending us traditional Christians over in Iraq. Or are you trying to "help" us by giving us more martyrs to include in our calendars of saints?

*The name "Byzantine Empire" is a lie made up by "Enlightenment" scholars to dispossess Orthodox Christians of our Roman heritage. Constantine moved the capital. The Empire that eventually dwindled to a city-state and fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453 was organically the same state as the Roman Empire whose last Western co-Emperor was retired to a villa near Naples in 476.

You keep the feud going, keep the resentment bubbling, keep focusing on your supposed Christian "enemies" while islam conducts divide and conquer on us all.

Real bright, but hey, as long as you "feel good about it"!
