“The Kosovo Maiden” by Uroš Predić (1857-1953)

Originally published on 1389 Blog.

Ever wondered what 1389 is all about?

Note: Since this post was written in October, 2007, Little Green Footballs has devolved from what was once a fairly reasonable center-right/counterjihad political forum, to a paranoid and sinister hard-left online cult, and one heavily infested with malware at that. Practically none of the same people from 2007 are there now. I no longer recommend that anyone visit or link to Little Green Footballs.

This question came up on October 13, 2007, in the Little Green Footballs: Saturday Afternoon Open thread, and I gave a brief answer there. Fellow Lizardoids followed with comments that added a broader perspective to my answer.

Why the rash of Houston-area school bus thefts?
A bizarre mystery that may be linked with plans for terror attacks on schools.

1389 was the year of the Battle of Kosovo. The Serbian army, along with some allies, under the leadership of Prince Saint Lazar, knowing that they were about to die, sacrificed themselves to fight the Turkish invasion to a standstill. Their sacrifice prevented much of Europe from being overrun at that time. In their honor, I have chosen 1389 as my nom de guerre.

We are still fighting the same fight, but the weapons are more complex these days. 1389 Blog – Antijihadist Tech is a team blog, whose purpose is to offer hard-to-find news, along with Web 2.0 and tech savvy, to the antijihadist community.

I also have another, less formal, blog that offers links and notes that others can use for their own blogging; look for it here: 1389 Message Blog.

Many different battles over the years have stemmed the attacks of Muslims.

732 Battle of Poitiers

1529 Battle of Vienna

1683 Battle of Vienna

Good work. It is helpful for us to realize that since the 7th century, Western civilization has been under almost uninterrupted attack by Muslims.

Battle of Talas, 751. Chinese lost, but cost the Arabs enough to stop them there. As in Europe, Islam continued to spread, but as a trickle instead of a tsunami.

There were also the back and forth battles of the 1460’s — eventually the Prince of Wallachia, Vlad Tepes III, aka Dracula lost, as you can tell by the blood libels heaped upon history afterwards.

And also, one must wonder how Constantinople fell into the hands of the Turks. One definitely wonders. =)

Partly because help from Rome (Catholic Europe) depended on the Orthodox Church renouncing their “error” and recognizing the authority of the Pope.

And a Hungarian selling his new-fangled cannon to the Turks.

Politics, money and treachery. Nothing ever changes…

Well, yes, but there are always saints and heroes, then as now…

Saint Prince Lazar of Serbia

The Battle of Kosovo took place on June 28, 1389 (according to the Julian Calendar, still used for liturgical purposes by the Serbian Orthodox Church). The family of blog admin 1389 celebrates this day as our Krsna Slava.
