- THE FIRST JIHAD or How A Few Greek Christians Saved The U.S. Marines.
In 1805 America fought in her first war since independence. That America prevailed was due in great part to the 38 Greek Orthodox Christians who fought side by side with the United States Marine Corps against the terrorists of north Africa. This is their story...

Great program. God bless the Orthodox Greeks. I believe it was Winston Churchill who said, during WWII when the Greeks fought the Italian invasion of their country, that rather than Greeks fighting like heroes, "Heroes fight like Greeks". The Greek victory turned the tide of the war. Zhto H Ellas! And don't forget, from long ago, Molon Labe!
Thank you for your perspective.
As a US Marine corps infantryman, thank you Greek Saints for fighting together with us against muslim barbarism, we owe so much to your sacrifices!
Semper Fidelis!
The brave and courageous Greek and Serbian Orthodox men who served and supported the marines must never be forgotten!
There were no Serbs there at all. The Greeks actually comprised the Marines by leaving the rammer inside the 6pdr and shooting it at the enemy. It effectively silenced all friendly artillery at Derna. They did more damage than good.
Indeed there were Serbs fighting with the Greeks, as well as Romanians. We have their names. We listed them in the program.
Did you watch the program?
@Arthur Tsiakopoulos Please see our response above. There were Serbs, and Romanians. We know their names. Watch the program.... again.
that's interesting and good to know
:-)
Best 37 minutes I ever spent. You should too.
I would have to concur!!! :)

Molon Labe. μολὼν λαβέ!
The founders of Democracy helping the new independant nation. We Christians have to stick together regardless of denomination and help each other against Radical Islam.
You do realize that it was the 500 Arabs that took Derna right?
The Arabs fought as mercenaries. The Greeks, and other Christians, began as mercenaries, but by the time Derna was attacked they returned the money and fought along side the Marines, even at a financial loss. They also stood by the Marines when the mercenary "500" Arabs (it was really only half that) attempted to derail the entire mission.
Did you watch the program?
Excellent!
That is awesome
:-)
they must have forgotten when 500+ marines watched Smyrna go up in flames
Yes, on the USS Arizona. We know what happened to her.
Hollywood should make a movie out of this....
This belongs on the HISTORY Channel. Amazing video. Well done!!!
B. Hill We thank you for your kind words, however we would prefer to have nothing to do with the "History Channel".
Wonder if Hollywood ever made a movie out of this???? MMmmmmm....
We used clips from that film in our program.
@Arthur Tsiakopoulos Yes Tripoli!
first jihad was some 11 centuries prior. world dosnt start with usa. my family is twice as old
The phrase used in our title, "The First Jihad", refers to the first time Muslim powers waged warfare against the United States of America. This jihad waged against American ships were certainly not the first Muslim Jihad. Islam is nothing but a history of Jihad.
Such a wonderful piece of authentic history...so beautifully done--thank you..
:-)
From the Halls of Montezuma,
To the shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country's battles
In the air, on land, and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean:
We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marine.
Semper Fidelis
Thank you for this presentation! Professional and presented to keep the interest going! A part of American history that seems to have been buried; I heard of Tripoli in school, very cursorily (this was in a day when we learned at least the first stanza of this hymn as well as the Army, Navy, and the Battle Hymn of the Republic), but had no teaching in school/college of the Greek Orthodox aid to the US Marines. Yes, a memorial would certainly be in order! Especially important now, since American history seems to actively be disappearing - the tearing down of many of our historical monuments - so that we "forget" our forebearers and God! I am a 70 year old grandmother, convert to the Orthodox Church, and proud of it! May these men's memory be eternal! (p.s. very much enjoy your productions, hope you will keep going!)
Semper Fidelis!
I would appreciate it very much if there were Greek subtitles
Would you like to volunteer? We need help.
My ancestors have been in the United States of America since the 1600s.They fought for American Independence and against the Confederates.Even though I am a 5th generation American I still talk in a English accent empire accent to be precise.To surprise you even more I only have English ancestors.I thank the Greeks for helping our nation during a time of need along with the Russians who blockaded the Confederates.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Wonderful History lesson Thank You!
:-)
Great Documentary!
We are glad you enjoyed it!
Have you ever heard of the Nicene Synod's Canon 12 and the Ephesian Synod's Canons 7, 9, and 18?
What about them?
Greek power ....
Kindly explain how your program relates to our program.
Why do you ask random people this?
What is it exactly that we ask random people?
The Greeks got independence in the 1820's.
Cracno112
No my friend, it started, the Greek revolution in 1821 -1829 and Greece as α independent State was recognized in 1830
Elias is correct.
Έτσι κάνουν τα παλικάρια
Amen!
@@GreekOrthodoxTV do you speak greek?
Very little
@@GreekOrthodoxTV oh ok
Tell me, was any other ethnic group targeted mostly for women?
Edit: as sex slaves.
Is this a rhetorical question?
@@GreekOrthodoxTV that was fast!.
No I did wonder. Do you know of another ethnic group targeted by slavers mostly for women?
The Europeans were not enslaved only for their women. Little boys and girls were equally as valuable to the Turk.
on 17:46 frame you are showing a image of a revolutionary hero of 1821! I am sure it is an error but nevertheless it needs to be pointed out!
That image is of a Muslim Dey.
Its the Serbs on the picture
There is a possibility that when Serbs fought side by side with Hellenes they dressed as Hellenes. The dress of the two cultures was quite similar anyway.

@@GreekOrthodoxTV Μιλάει για τους Έλληνες Αρβανίτες ο κύριος, μην του δίνετε σημασία, άλλος ένας ανιστόρητος αλβανός.
You are albanian? I see…so you are desperate for History then eh :)
