It also stands to reason that the non-Orthodox "Christians" must regard the Orthodox as threats to their existence and I'm sure that over the years they must have tried to persecute them. It's also clear to me that the non-Orthodox "Christians" are always ready to change their principles in order to participate in the power politics of the day as we see for example in Britain, with the Anglican Church, and in the US, with the Evangelists.

You are right about all this as well. The Orthodox have been persecuted by Jews, Mohammedans, Pagans, Papists and Protestants over the last 2,000 years.

Satan will use any tactic he can to try to destroy all of mankind. Stirring up evil-minded men to create false religions so as to cause conflict is his modus operandi.

But pious Orthodox Christians (which I am not) don't mind persecution!

Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. --2 Timothy 3:12-13)
