I remind you that you were the one who first picked a quarrel with other Christians on this thread by sneering at St. Christopher as "make believe" and generalizing it to other saints. If you are so very concerned with divisions among Christians as an impediment to opposing the jihad, don't snipe at the veneration of saints, which was common to all Christians, Orthodox, Latin, Coptic, Armenian, or Assyrian prior to the 1500's, and abolished only among protestants--and not even all of them.

I would say on the field of battle against Islam we Orthodox have done and continue to do our part--even when stabbed in the back by America as was done in the Balkans under Clinton.

My tagline, were FR to give us more space would read:

"And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about."
--Slobodan Milosevic

He spoke those words before the kangaroo court convened against him in the Hague, when they refused to allow him to show photos of Bosnian and foreign jihadis standing over piles of severed heads of Orthodox Christian Serbs. The protestant nations of the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands all took the part of the jihadis against their erstwhile allies the Serbs. Such great defending of us against Islam!

Give it up.

For your edification here is one of the Orthodox hymns in praise of the witness of St. Christopher:

Thou wast terrifying both in might and countenance: thou didst willingly suffer temptation from thy persecutors; those men and women sought to arouse in thee fire of lust, but they followed thee to martyrdom. Wherefore thou art our strong protector, O Great Martyr Christopher.
--The Kontakion of the Great-Martyr Christopher (in Tone 4)
