Religion of peace.

Bosnia could just as easily be Cincinatti. Islam is a disease and should be wiped from the face of the earth.

And, it's a good thing that John Kerry wasn't elected because it all probability Richard Holbrooke would have become Secretary of State - who has already called for the independence of Kosovo.

"Faulty Epilogue Despite the overwhelming evidence that the democratically elected Bosnian Muslim government gave aid and comfort to Al-Qaeda, Kohlmann capriciously attempts to disassociate this guilt by citing a rather inconsequential and often ridiculous statements that Bosnian Muslims are not guilty of shielding al-Qaeda because they are European and, for example, Bosnian Muslims drink liquor and want to have sex with European girls."

The Islamofacist mass murderers are the biggest hypocrites on the planet. Many of the 9-11 hijackers spent their last week at strip clubs in Florida and elsewhere. Islamofacists in Bosnia wanting to make naughty with women therefore is hardly evidence of a lack of Al Qaeda ties.

This is far more of a religious war than the US wants to admit.

That's right. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Mohammad Atta spend time in Las Vegas e.g, gambling etc.??

We in CINCINNATI will fight to the death before we let
the religion of peace take over. Luckily, we are armed to the teeth.

When you look at the inaction of Clinton against the terrorists and the fact the only war he prosecuted with fervor was for the Muslims, you know what the Rats really are.

All wars with Muslims are. It's called Jihad.

I've read this book, and the gist of it is that Al Qaeda had never heard of Bosnia before the media started reporting the Serb's crimes against the Bosnian Muslim population, that when jihadis came to Bosnia, they did so through Western Europe, mainly Italy and France, which kind of undercuts the claim that Bosnia was an entry point into Europe for Al Qaeda, and finally, the impact of these fighters, while being talked up by Kohlmann, is only illustrated by tactical operations where bunkers or hilltops were taken - with jihadi casualties being counted in the tens and twenties at most. Hardly war winning stuff, when anyone remotely familiar with the war knows that the Croat heavy weaponry transferred into Bosnia after their rout of the Krajina Serbs provided the strategic impetus behind the majority of the territorial gains realized by the Muslim-Croat alliance just prior to Dayton.

In short, Mr. Bozinovich is not only misrepresenting Kohlmann's work, his attempts to amend and change Kolhmann's conclusion only fall into line with the Serb nationalist habit of changing reality to suit their purposes.

Hopite--Your skimming skills leave much to be desired. The links between AlQuaeda and Bosnia have been confirmed ad nauseum. They were in Bosnia before during and after the war and stil operate freely in the region. They are responsible for the bulk of the atrocities and most reports mention Turkey as at transit point...those Muslim Turks...always looking the other way when it comes to drug and alquaeda traffic.

You don't have a clue as to what you're talking about.

Obviously Al Qaeda was in Bosnia. But they weren't there before the Serbs invaded in April of '92 (go ahead, document your claim...), and do not operate freely, as attested to the arrest (you posted the Pravda link on the story - do you even bother reading what you link?) and subsequent extradition to Gitmo of those individuals we had asked the Bosnian government to seize.

And how can you be stupid enough to claim the jihadis were responsible for the bulk of atrocities when you know I'm going to throw Srebrenica back in your silly little face?

That's beyond stupid.

As to Turkey, I can only surmise you're trying to take a cheap shot, 'cause you're Greek, and taking shots at Turkey is what Greeks with a nationalist bent do.

I could have a more enlightening discussion on race relations with a Klansman - go away kid, you bore me.

You are as dense as I first believed.

Muslims were organized into terrorist cells in the region long before the 90s all during Tito's reign - training Bosnians/Croatian/Communists to help Palestinian terrorists and and long before that when Terrorist Muslims both during and after the Muslim Turk occupation were genociding the Christian Serbs.

http://www.balkan-archive.org.yu/politics/papers/civil_war/iran_springboard.html

As for my ancestral ethnicity and my posting concerning the genocides commited by Muslim Turkey - - you constantly bring that up Lord know why - I guess it is easier for you to use jive making personal attacks instead of using logic and facts. That is the way it seems with many of your pointless posts...

The US made a disastrous mistake in supporting the wrong side in Yugoslavia...one that the West is still paying for with the lives of our soldiers and civilians fighting the Muslims.


The Bosnian Muslims owe their origins and their existence as a community only to the Muslim Ottoman Turkish occupation. In short, they are tied to the foreign occupation forces, to the foreign Islamic invaders.

With the expulsion of the Ottoman Turkish occupation forces, many Bosnian Muslims emigrated from Bosnia to Turkey and Anatolia along with the Turks because their identification was with Turkey and the Turks that created their identity.

You are trying to prove that Al Qaeda was in Bosnia before the war.

Lemme know when you get something to bolster that claim, m'kay?
