Milosevic was right: JIHADIST HOTBED IN THE BALKANS: THE TRUTH IS OUT

[FormerLib]

No Orthodox Christians served in the narco-terrorist KLA. Their membership in such a group would be sufficient to excommunicate them from the Orthodox Christian Church if they had.

[Orbiting_Rosie's_Head]

bump for later

[NYC Republican]

Blah Blah Blah. More lies and propoganda from a Serb, who's obviously biased.

[greenwolf]

The International Committee to Defend Slobodan Milosevbic; in my estimation, a worthy charity.

[NYC Republican]

For those that don't know, Srdja Trifkovic was a Bosnian Serb spokesman. Bosnian Serb, as in Radko Mladic, Radovan Karadzic, et al, wanted criminals on the lam. As in, killers of over 150,000 Bosnians of all faiths.

THAT's who this weasel is, and some of you take his lies as fact...

He wouldn't have en embedded interest in lying, would he?

[greenwolf]

I also pray that the day will come when American and Western European governmenst come to their senses and stop the stupid obstruction of Serbian recovery of their ancestral homeland of Kosovo-Metohija so that they can again live there in peace as they have since 700 AD, with lives and churches rebuilt.

We'll have to find a place to put the "albanian kosovars" when we do that. Another trailor park outside of Mecca perhaps...

[greenwolf]

I think YOU're lying.

Every single one of these "serb atrocities" which anybody's ever bothered to check out has turned out to be a bunch of BS. In fact the main people accusing Serbs of atrocities have always been the Klintons, Madeline Albright, Wesley Clark, and sundry related CFR/NWO types. What more does anybody need to know about the situation?

[douglas1]

WE will have the same thing here in AMERICA ,and if we are to stay the same course we took in BOSNIA we will have to surrender CALIFORNIA AND ANY OTHER state that mexico wants to invade.

[DoctorMichael]

Blowback.

[mark502inf]

The quoted info on patterns of Albanian Kosovar refugee movement is a direct lift from a statistical study by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. There's a link to it. Why don't you read it and argue the facts instead of labelling those who present you with information exposing a gap in your knowledge as "pro-Islamist"?

Vam zhelayu vsevo khoroshevo.

ON FAITH / The Rev. STEVEN P. TSICHLIS
Serbian Church Is Opposed to Brutal Regime
THE REV. STEVEN P. TSICHLIS


Extremist leaders of the nationalist Serbian government of President Slobodan Milosevic would have the world believe theirs is a cause backed by religious righteousness. Milosevic himself often appears on television with icons of the Serbian Orthodox Church in the background.

But the church, closely linked with other Eastern Orthodox churches around the world, has a well established record--little known in the West--of opposition to the fanatical regime. In 1992, the synod of bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church issued a statement condemning the human rights violations of the Serbian government in Belgrade and calling for the resignation of President Milosevic.


As recently as last fall, the Serbian Orthodox Bishop Artemije of Kosovo warned the U.S. Congressional Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe that relying on Milosevic as a guarantor of peace in the region "is immoral and counterproductive." The bishop's visit to Washington, though it earned condemnation from the Serbian government, went unnoticed by the major American media.

Clearly, the war in the former Yugoslavia is not a religious war and has never enjoyed the support of any religious leadership, in spite of the use of religion as a cloak for extremist nationalism by Milosevic (who "morphed" from Communist to ardent nationalist just before his successful bid for power in 1989) and others currently seeking political clout. This curious blend of nationalism and religion by Milosevic and others is often confusing to western journalists. Whatever else the church is, there is no other existing structure or institution so deeply linked with Serbia's long history and traditions, stretching back more than 1,000 years. This has led many extremist Serbian nationalists to value the church for "cultural" reasons, while ignoring its stance on moral and political issues as irrelevant.

It is precisely this utterly false use of religion as a prop for nationalist fanaticism that was condemned in September 1996 at a meeting convened on the island of Patmos by the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, the world's leading Orthodox bishop. Orthodox bishops from around the world, including Patriarch Pavle, condemned "nationalist fanaticism" and insisted that the Orthodox Christian understanding of nationalism "contained no elements of aggression and conflict among peoples."


Bishop Artemije of Kosovo has publicly lamented the indifference of the Milosevic and previous regimes to the voice of the church. "In the course of the last 55 years, the Serbian Orthodox Church has not been able to influence the government, but we are trying to make our voice heard." And President Clinton and NATO seem equally deaf to the call of the Serbian Orthodox Church and Orthodox Church leaders, ranging from Patriarch Alexey of Moscow to Metropolitan Anthony of San Francisco, to end the bombing of the region as horror stories of civilian casualties continue to mount.

The Serbian Orthodox Church, together with the International Orthodox Christian Charities and the Albanian Orthodox Church led by Archbishop Anastasios of Tirana, is attempting to make a difference in the lives of the hundreds of thousands of people victimized by this conflict. Ever a monk and man of prayer, Patriarch Pavle has authorized that special prayers for peace be included in the worship of his church, among them this petition: "For all those who commit injustice against their neighbors, whether by causing sorrow to orphans, spilling innocent blood or by returning hatred for hatred, that God will grant them repentance, enlighten their minds and their hearts and illumine their souls with the light of love even toward their enemies, let us pray to the Lord."

And the people respond: "Lord have mercy!"

[dennisw]

Pedophile prophet bump!

[FormerLib]

Certainly no mention of Orthodox serving in the KLA in there.

[FormerLib]

More lies and propoganda from a Serb, who's obviously biased.

So repudiate the story with a few facts then, not just slander directed against an entire people.

So I guess you think we should get our news about 911 from Al Jazeera?

[FormerLib]

He wouldn't have en embedded interest in lying, would he?

You wouldn't have an embedded interest in covering the crimes of Jihadist radicals (such as Hoppy does), would you?

[mark502inf]

Here is what the Serbian Orthodox Church leaders have to say about your hero:

"Perhaps there was more silence than there had to be, perhaps the Church or Church officials should have spoken out more loudly. But I'm afraid that no Christian can support the values that the Milosevic regime supports. That person cannot be a Christian." -- Father Sava, aide to Artemije, commenting on the Church's failure to firmly oppose Milosevic until recently.

"If the only way to create a greater Serbia is by crime, I don't accept it. Let Serbia disappear." -- Patriarch Pavle, quoted in the "Los Angeles Times" of 29 June.

This year's commemoration of the Battle of Kosovo Polje "differs from the previous ones: there will be no hypocrisy in it, in its celebration the godless leaders of our people will take no part." -- Statement of the Serbian Orthodox Church on 27 June.

"The root of all evil." -- Artemije and Trajkovic, on Vidovdan, describing Milosevic.

"Thanks to [Milosevic's] policies, there are no more Serbs in Krajina, there are no more Serbs in Slavonia, there are no more Serbs in western Bosnia, and Serbia has received about 60,000 refugees who are still not being well cared for." -- Artemije

The author has also penned a book telling the hard truths about the threat Islam holds for the civilized word. The Sword of the Prophet, which our pro-Jihadist cheerleaders here on FR do not want you to read.

[Happy2BMe]

SALUTE THE ISLAMIC JIHAD TERRORISTS ping!

[NYC Republican]

Nope, no reason to. My only embedded interest is seeing that you Milosevic-apologists are exposed for your disgraceful lying tactics.

[NYC Republican]

So repudiate the story with a few facts then, not just slander directed against an entire people. So I guess you think we should get our news about 911 from Al Jazeera?

I'm certainly not criticizing the Serb people, I'm pointing out that he was the Bosnian Serb spokesman during the heinous crimes perpetrated by the Bosnian Serbs. This alone should make you highly skeptical of what he writes, no doubt full of lies.
