-Taxing the title of patriarch
-Replacing patriarchs in order to gain money from the title tax
-Moving the patriarchate to the Red Light District

That sounds more like annoyances than the terrible persecution your friends claim Mehmed II subjected the Orthodox to, really.

I do not want to sound harsh - but you are really starting to annoy me.

Do not come in here and tell us how 500 years of turkish occupation was all sweet and how turks were progressive -

turks are one of the most retarded and murderous empires that existed on this planet -

I am sick of your revisionism -

When you decided to bring down mod action on my username, I didn't fight but accepted the change.

What is wrong wih Janissary name? And the avatar... This is a little bit too much... I can't believe you are asked those things, it is paranoia.

Orthodox do not need to focus on these things? Why? Ottoman came and gone, Orthodox faith still exists, history is already written, if Mehmed II's portrait is in the avatar, how offensive is that going to get, and making him change is name, I can not believe that... Why not ban him altogether than? I am appalled by that.

How come noone is claiming pacifism and removing my stuff from my profile? Bushmaster is a serpent, how come noone complaining it was the devil in the garden... I mean come on... give the dude a break!


No, just because like I said I find it offensive. This is an orthodox christian forum , a congregational forum.

How come you are not complaining about an orthodox user around here with the name zhilan, who has a profile picture of pope kissing the Quran? Why not?

I would never go to a mulsim site with a cross... either.

Why not, you would be afraid? or ashamed, or should we be PC?

Listen to your self .... Ottoman came and gone.... for 500 years it was not came and gone. And if it did so should be this guy.... he should be gone.... gone... You are a turk but do not "rub" Ottoman in here... And Yes I will not present a cross out of respect to their faith. And just for an example how come our hierarchy cannot wear their religious atire at Phanar:? if Turkey has religious tolerance??? ha explain that one and our Patriach almost got murdered a couple of times....and the Greay wolves... shall I go on and on?


I am out of here.... God bless the rest of you people.

Listen to your self .... Ottoman came and gone.... for 500 years it was not came and gone.

And you are blaming this guy for it?

And if it did so should be this guy.... he should be gone.... gone...

What you are doing is personal, at least to my view... Are you holding a grudge? Leave islam aside, would you not introduce Orthodoxy to this guy? He just showed you that you actually lack knowledge about his late empire, what else you could be wrong about?

You are a turk but do not "rub" Ottoman in here...

DID I EVER? I am a Turk but I am also an Orthodox Christian. There are some painting with a broad brush.

And Yes I will not present a cross out of respect to their faith.

I disagree.

And just for an example how come our hierarchy cannot wear their religious atire at Phanar:? if Turkey has religious tolerance??? ha explain that one and our Patriach almost got murdered a couple of times....and the Greay wolves... shall I go on and on?

Greay Wolves? You are going somewhere else I didn't even intend to. I didn't defend current Turkish stance, nor their country, I hit on the issue how judged this dude from his avatar.

Everyone look up what Futuwwa means too.... you will be supprised for what you will find...

It is not anything bad...

Basically, I totally agree with you. However, someone coming into this board to quash the truth has no right to do that, in my opinion.

I agree mostly with Bushmaster here.

Look, there is a LOT I could say about Turkey and when I think of... ERR! I'll drop it becuase I am already getting mad. BUt in the end, what are we accomplishing here? Look, Fuutwa, you're smart. You know your odd comments defending the Ottomans and downplaying the havoc the wreaked on the Church is going to offend us and push our buttons. The CHristian thing to do would be to turn the other cheek... but, we are human... please.. let's calla truce here and agree not to discuss these things here.

I want you to feel welcome here and for others to wnat to welcome you. You are child of God and you need Christ. So anytime you have a question, I hope you can come here and ask it.

I won't be here anylonger except to chekc my PMs every once and a while so if you would like, send me one. BUt let's put the politics aside.

And I ask the same of you guys. Would Christ be fighting with Fuutwa about all of this or would he be more concerned with his soul? I can say this much... I don't think He gives a care what Fuutwa or you or I think about the Ottoman empire.

And anyway, Philothei, I now understand why the avatar angers you so much but maybe when you see it you can try to just say a prayer for Mehmet II. Surely he needs it.

God bless you guys!

John

You are angered by his portrait, imagine if you carried his name as your first name because it is the tradition to name you after your grandpa. My mother never agreed to it, but it was forced, now I struggle with it wherever I am required to use my first name. Thankfully, I am adopting my baptismal name officially pretty soon, and dropping this, and no more of the prejudice and weird looks. I gotta do what I gotta do. You have this name, and unfortunate, our society will have an opinion ready for you, before they get to know you. Thanks to the likes of Atta.
