Dumb turk diaspora scum

Constantinople was the equivalent of Rome (the city), and surpassed it in many ways after a while.

The crusaders ransacked several greek villages and towns and refused to hand over byzantine territory they conquered from the turks like they agreed.

Augustine was a faggot and it was all just semantics.

Alexios saved the empire.

Justinian expanded the empire.

Turkey is Muslim Greece

Russia was gonna be muslim if it wasn't for them

The Turks didn't really alter much of the genetic makeup of the area.

I don't even know how anyone could take seriously orthodox christianity.
Like one of the biggest characteristics of christianity is evangelization.
Where the fuck have they ever evangelized? Slavland + greece, that's it.
They're pathetic.

If Turkey is just muslim greece why did Ottomans massacre hundreds of thousands of Greeks?

I'd prefer to not even know they exist but that's not the point.
The point is that there is a certain practice, called christianity. The internal goods of christianity include christianization. The orthodox suck really bad at christianization, therefore they suck at one of the most important internal goods of christianity, therefore they suck at christianity.

i like the story about how russians became ortodox. don't know if it's true tho
>arab missionaries and greek missionaries come before some important russian prince and present their arguments
>muslims almost persuade the russians by telling them about how it's okay to have multiple wives in the islamic world
>in the end they get thrown the fuck out after mentioning that islam forbids drinking alcohol during religious holidays
>russians become ortodox instead

"And then the Greeks degenerated entirely into women; putting aside all manly vigour, both of words and of spirit, they lightly swore whatever they thought would please us, but they neither kept faith with us nor maintained respect for themselves. In general they really have the opinion that which is done for the holy empire cannot be considered perjury. Let no one think that I am taking vengeance on a race of men hateful to me and that because of my hatred I am inventing a Greek whom I have not seen. Whoever has known the Greeks will, if asked, say that when they are afraid they become despicable in their excessive debasement and when they have the upper hand they are arrogant in their severe violence to those subjected to them....The city [Constantinople] itself is squalid and fetid and in many places harmed by permanent darkness, for the wealthy overshadow the streets with buildings and leave these dirty, dark places to the poor and to travelers; there murders and robberies and other crimes which love the darkness are committed. Moreover, since people live lawlessly in this city, which has many lords as rich men and almost as many thieves as poor men, a criminal knows neither fear nor share, because crime is not punished by law and never entirely comes to light. In every respect she exceeds moderation; for, just as she surpasses other cities in wealth, so, too, does she surpass them in vice."

---Odo of Deuil

greeks btfo; the way Greece looks now, feels like nothing's changed.

Muslims were some of the biggest purchasers of Russian alcohol and it was considered a staple for Muslim monarchs from like 1400-1800. Although many jurists forbade alcohol, it was consumed by some itinerant mystics and the idea of a Muslim royal or noble life without alcohol was somewhat absurd especially when manliness was often judged by how well a guy could hold his liquor.
