“However strange it may seem,” [Archpriest Igor Dronov, the secretary of the Bishkek eparchate administration of the Russian Orthodox Church] continues, “Muslims are closer to the Orthodox living in Kyrgyzstan than are Christian-Protestants -- closer, of course, not in the area of faith and dogma … but in the area of practice” on such questions as HIV/AIDS and juvenile justice where Protestants promote “’Western values’” while Orthodox and Muslims share other values.

Among the Western values Protestants seek to advance is “liberalism which destroys everything, including both the family and the state.” Moreover, Dronov says, “Protestants, especially the newly formed sects is distinguished by aggressive proselytism,” something that he says creates “serious tension and dissatisfaction with Christianity in general.”

Wow, if there was even any doubt there shouldn’t be, Putin hates America and he really hates strong Christians.

So I guess he wouldn't have approved of the Apostle Paul at all.

If the Protestants help to spread feminism and liberalism, that is regrettable.

I think this sounds cowardly to side with Muslims over an issue like this, but then it is not the safety of my family that is at risk.

This article is valid in that in the west, mainline protestants and CINO’s have abandoned the dogma of Christianity and adopted most of the concepts of secular humanistic agnosticism. At least Islam still believes in God and renounces those liberal ways which are spiritually strangling the west. When Islam finally controls Europe the west will finally see its errant ways.
