I understand, but i think you underestimate the persecution side of the story. The larges community of easter christianity is in egypt and living under dihiminitud, in Iraq the Assyrian Christians number in thousands and there prospects are not positive, in turkey there was the Armenian genocide. Come on... should check the statistics Christians in prominently Muslim country have been diminishing for quite sometime.

I don't disagree with what you've said. I go to church every Sunday with the refugees. In fact I'll be seeing some within the hour. It is important to understand, however, that this is not the unrelieved history of Orthodoxy in Mohammedan lands. In the long range of history, we are definitely going through a bad time, but there were times which, by the standards of those times, were not so bad. On the other hand, my namesake and my other relatives in the old country had no problem dealing with the Mohammedans in a "terminal" fashion when the opportunity arose! I'm afraid we may have to again. Check my tagline. Four hundred years of dhiminitude is not something I want for us. My old people lived it.
