To fans of the Bram Stoker novel "Dracula" or the dozens of Hollywood adaptations that have followed it, Dracula, the legendary Eastern European vampire, is usually viewed as an enemy of Christianity.
But the History offers a surprising look at a Dracula whose choices are often informed by faith.
Our Dracula is based partly on the Stoker legend and partly on the 15th century Balkan ruler known as Vlad the Impaler who inspired Stoker's 1897 Dracula tale.
Studing the real history, you can reveal a great deal about the historical relationship between Christianity and the Dracula legend.
Dracula's name, for instance, came from the Order of the Dragon, originally founded to protect Christian Europe from invasion by Muslim Ottomans.
Dracula helps build monasteries, befriends monks, and ultimately is concerned not with blood or young women, but with his own salvation.
For Romanian Christians in the Byzantine tradition, Dracula was a hero who held back the invading Ottoman armies longer than most leaders managed to do.
HE WAS A CHRISTIAN HERO,in spite of his sadism toward his own people.
Of course for the Ottomans he was a barbarian, who was attacking the fringes of their civilization.

My lame connection is keeping me from responding quickly. I am glad for the renewed freedoms for the people of the former Soviet satellite states. So many beautiful places and faces, so much history. But I digress, as I have yet to visit. Like I mentioned before I befriended a man my age from there back in the States and he is of very good character.

Without a doubt Romania is a very beautiful country that has a litle bit of everything that other countries would "die" for ( mountains,hills,plains,a piece of sea, oil,salt,mineral waters,lots of rivers etc.) but still did u try stopping a simple man that walks slowly on a street of a village or in a city and ask him what`s he thinking of ?

Seriously,
I thought of you when I first heard about the story last night. I hate to hear of any historic places being ruined, like what the Taliban did to the Buddhist statues in Afghanistan.
Thanks bro's.
The nerve of some people!

Historically, he did stop the Ottoman Empire from spreading deeper into Eastern Europe. If you was the captured enemy in those days, they will impale you alive. He was notorious in drinking the blood from his victims as symbol of defiance and solidarity to his cause.
The myth of his vampire attitude put the fear in the heart of the enemy. Yet his popularity and legend grew twisted because of his barbaric actions.
President Bush,In a message to Tehran, he said: "You bet you have a sovereign right, absolutely, but you don't have the trust of those of us who have watched you carefully when it comes to enriching uranium."
that's not nice, should I get my cricket bat out?
