I've been in real Islamic states and I've been in Kosovo. They aren't anywhere close to each other.

Thats because real Islamic states don't have UN forces in them, keeping the rabid moslem terrorists under control. Does Syria, does Iran?

Tomas, first--your tagline is exactly right. Second, the forces in Kosovo are NATO, not UN.

Third, the Kosovars are in no way "rabid moslem terrorists", but as the troops on the ground there report, are pro-American and largely secular; as further attested to by the complete absence of attacks against the Americans in their midst. The Kosovar Albanian gun-culture is well known; they have the weapons and have frequently fought the Serbs since Serbia invaded & conquered Kosovo in 1912. If the Kosovar Albanians were anywhere near being "rabid Moslem terrorists", we'd be attacked just like Americans are whereever rabid Moslem terrorists really exist--like in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Afghanistan, the Horn of Africa and so on.

Instead, American churches are sending their kids over to live with Kosovar Albanian families and put on combined Kosovar-American choir concerts as the general referred to in the article above.
