Acts 19:8-9
And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God. 9. But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.

A brother said to Abba Pimenes, "I am troubled by thoughts that do not let me think of my own sins, but make me notice only the faults of my brother." Abba Pimen told him about Abba Dioscore, that he was crying for himself in his cell; and his disciple lived in another cell. When the disciple came to the elder and found him weeping, he asked him: "Father, what are you weeping about?" He replied, "I am weeping for my sins, child." The disciple said to him, "You have no sins, Father." But the elder answered him, "I assure you, my son, if I could see my sins, four more men would not be enough to join me in weeping." At this, Abba Pimen said, "He is truly a man who has known himself."

St. Gregory Palamas on Islam
St. Gregory Palamas ca. 1296-1359
It is true that Mohammed started from the east and came to the west, as the sun travels from the east unto the west. Nevertheless, he came with war, knives, pillaging, forced enslavement, murders, and acts that are not from the good God, but instigated by the chief manslayer, the devil. Consider now, in times past, did not Alexander (the Great) prove victorious from the east to the west? There have also been many others, in many other times, who set out on military campaigns and dominated the world. Yet none of the peoples believed in their leaders as you revere Mohammed. Though Mohammed may employ violence and offer pleasures, he cannot secure the approval of the world. Albeit, the teaching of Christ, though it turns away from (worldly) pleasures, it has taken hold to the ends of the world, without violence, since it is opposed to it. This phenomenon is the victory that overcomes the world (1 Jn. 5:4).

Acts 19:13-15
¶Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. 14. And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. 15. And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?”

And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. 17. And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.” ,

"Video games, which have become so popular with children, from an early age teach them that murder is something quite ordinary and common. But when we hear of teenagers, even girls, brutally beating up and killing their schoolmates, we are horrified, and we cannot understand where this cruelty comes from."
— Late Patriarch Alexiy II of Moscow and All Russia

Acts 19:18-20
And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds. 19. Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. 20. So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.”
