Regardless of the attacker's ignorance, this is sad either way. Lord, have mercy! I hope that Fr. Alexios is alright.

A Marine reservist was charged with attacking a Greek Orthodox priest he mistook for a terrorist.

Jasen D. Bruce allegedly hit 29-year-old Alexios Marakis over the head with a tire iron and chased him for three blocks Monday evening before Tampa police officers intervened.

Marakis, a Greek Orthodox priest visiting from Crete, told police he had stopped to ask the 28-year-old reservist for help after getting lost in downtown Tampa. He had just performed a blessing of another priest and accidentally got off the highway.

Marakis approached Bruce as he was unloading his dry-cleaning, police said.

"Please, please help," Marakis said to Bruce in his limited English.

Bruce pulled out a tire iron and attacked the priest, police said. He then called 911 as he chased Marakis, saying an Arabic man was trying to rob him. When officers arrived, Bruce told them the man was a terrorist.

Bruce also told police he heard Marakis yell, "Allahu akbar!" _ Arabic for "God is great," according to Tampa police spokeswoman Laura McElroy.

Marakis, however, does not speak Arabic, McElroy said. He speaks Greek.

Police are working to determine if the offense meets the standard for a hate crime.

Authorities could not immediately provide the name of Bruce's attorney.

His Purity is Holy and His Gift is Eternal Blessings, to know about more than this because of one that came from so much farther beyond, with a message, the truth of Goodness that is True About God's Creation... and to find anything any day really, that helps you to find the wonder... its like something they say, you are what you eat, well thats not true, but you have what you are holding.... and to believe you get to find what just you and God have together, but its more, He is already forever old, and knows all the ways, and He takes care of you because He made you.... and no matter how many wonder the floor without ever looking up, and say their feet hurt... you always i mean for what i have found, you only need one thing to take part in the glory that Jesus Promised... that is the One faith, That God is Your God, and God will be there for you..... it is something of knowledge for me now... as a child i could believe anything they had there for me... but now with so much...... there is truly something more... and it is the knowledge of God, and with that, all that ever could be known about the truth of what is, God is so much the most wonderful more than any other, So Truly.... if you take courage in the name of Jesus Christ, then pray, if you accept that there is Heaven above, then dream, and if you notice something that really helps, then follow Jesus and try to teach others, and though the world is hard these days, and it seems like we always need the full answer to give to those in question, we are only new in this Creation, and though the hardest part is apparent, that there is death, God knows that eventually we will need to be given life again, but its on the way.... that we can share in our very own selves, the way of The Glorious God, to the One who keeps that name..... amen.... ]]> Christian Persecution Atha http://www.christianforums.com/t7414369/
