Who cares. We know how some Muslims think. What's the point in banning it. Just leave freedom of speech. Don't forbid everything. This seperates us from the Muslims who are…
Guys,
What I hate more than Islam is Coptic Orthodox Christians attacking each other.
Its not worth it. Let's be united. We have the same enemy and the same friends.
This topic isn't even worth to argue over, nor is theology.

Thanks.
I've come to conclusion that we all need to educate the world about the injustices of Islam.
Let's tell everyone, via YouTube Comments, at what they've done the Holy Orthodox Church of God.
From when Islam attacked us by the sword and …

Fr. Peter,
Could you kindly BRIEFLY tell me who is the anti-Christ? If I did a search on google, how could I be sure to find references that the Church approves of? I remember we talked about a site called Orthodoxinfo on tasbeha.org and apparently…

You need to read the Orthodox commentators and see what they say.
You will find that there is a proper reserve in being dogmatic about any of these things.

And we can say: Efnouti instead of Allah.

I can see ILSM's point of view. However, I go to a Church in Belgium which isn't really like that.. at least the deacons don't show off to get rock-star status.
