More clear-headed warnings about Islam by another revered hierarch in a traditional Orthodox nation. The Greek people suffered for centuries under brutal Muslim tyranny during the Ottoman period. Numerous Ecumenical Patriarchs, bishops and priests were among the countless thousands martyred by the Turkish Muslims (not counting the Armenian and Orthodox Christian Genocide, which spread from 1894 to 1922, and claimed over 3.5 million lives). The warnings about Islam from Metropolitans Amvrosios and Anthimos (see my recent post) should be taken very seriously by Orthodox Christians everywhere.

�With the entering into force of the anti-racist bill, all who talk about the motherland and patriotism will risk jail.
�A priest who will speak up against Jehovah�s Witnesses and other religions from the ambo, may be declared a racist and imprisoned,� said the hierarch, cited by AgionOros with the reference to Rua.gr (�Russian Athens�).
�Soon we will become aliens in our own home country. I do not know whether I will live to see these times, but your children will surely be slaves of Muslims. Greece is disappearing, faith is disappearing� Keep the flame of the motherland and faith. Globalization is not knocking at our doors any more � it has already entered our home,� he added.
