Entry: Kosovo, Russia, and the Last Grasps of American Unipolarity Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/kosovo_and_the_last_grasps_of_american_unipolarity#18331 Post contents: No, I AM saying that the Serbs have some history of defendingChristendom. If by that we mean stopping the advance of Islam into Europe and doing it under the auspices of the Church (Orthodox) and having pious leaders like Lazar - the yes! - the Serbs qualify. Vassalage was a real and unfortunate reality - as was janissarism. All occupied lands got sucked in to some form of it. For the aforementioned writers to use that as a disqualifier to Serbian resistence on behalf of Christendom is thoughtless. In that case, why don't you tell Taki that the Greeks don't qualify either? Besides 1389, the Serbs (as Byzantine subjects, as members of their own medieval kingdom, even as refugees north of Ottoman-Austrian divide from "Krajina") fought Islamic invaders numerous times. They fought alongside other legendary Christian defenders (of the Catholic persuasion) such as St. John Capistrano. Let me ask the posters this: give me examples of , say Germany's, defense of Christendom. More fervent or important than anything Serbia, Russia, or Romania did? Or do the latter not count because their patriarch does not sit in Rome? What really astounds me is the stereotypical rabid anti-Orthodox self-proclaimed Catholics here who DESIRE a rift with Orthodox Serbs at the benefit of non-Christians. How does this make any sense whatsoever? I don't need Cundiff's response I know full well what his intentions are and they have nothing to do with defending either Christendom or the truth.
