NOVI PAZAR -- Ten young men donning long beards, short pants and white hats broke up a concert of the Balkanika orchestra.
The hooligans were dressed like members of the vehabit movement. They climbed up onto the stage and threw around the instruments that were set up for the musicians to play. One of the young men toko the microphone and told those attending the concert: “Brothers, go home, they are working against Islam here. This is Satan’s work.”
He then threw the microphone, which was damaged, as were the speakers, mixing board and some of the lighting.
Four police officers were present at the concert in Novi Pazar and used force to get the youths off of the stage and stop them from coming back. The concert was organised by the Novi Pazar municipality and the Serbia Culture and Sport Ministry.
About a half hour later, a group of about 50 Novi Pazar football supporters, upset over the team’s loss to Mladosti from Apatin, started throwing stones at the stage where the concert was supposed to be held. Earlier, the game was stopped for an hour after the Novi Pazar fans hit referee Nikola Maljković in the head with a rock.
The police have yet to comment on the two incidents, though further public concerts in the region will probably all be cancelled.
The vehabit is a radical Islamic group founded in Saudi Arabia. It is hard to give an estimate on how many supporters the group has in the Sandžak area, but what is sure is that the numbers have increased greatly in recent years.
What makes you so sure they have any penii at all?
Not really terrorism, but related. (All the rest of my comments are deleted but you can imagine.)
Vehabit = our old friends the Wahabbis. I gues thats the Serbo-Croatian transliteration.
But I don't get the short pants part. They kill people for that in Iraq.
Why aren't they being blamed for how things didn't get better after Milosevic's departure?
See correction in Post 5.
Keep letting the Islamist and Diyanet (secular government) Turkish missionaries in to brainwash people and this kind of insanity will only continue.
LOL! Absolutely true!
We could solve a multitude of the world's problems -- including "Islamic jihad" and "the oil crisis" -- with one teeny little neuton bomb dropped on Saudi Arabia!
Oh, they are blamed for ruining the country. Yet OTPOr as organisation seased to exist 1,5 years a go they, Oficialy merged with (can you imagine) Democratic party of president Boris tadic (soros founded president of Serbia)
My preciousssss..
When is Madonna's concert in that great venue? the Dixie chicks??
Breaking up music concerts, hmm where have we seen this before?
Swing Heil!
Youths!
I wait to see a notice nailed to the Church doors in Serbia saying:
"From now on, services will be held on friday instead sunnday. Allah Akbar"
I assume "vehabit" is the Slavic way to spell "wahabbi"?
What would Slobodan Milosevic do in this situation?
This is the kind of thing you'd expect in the Moslem part of Bosnia, not Serbia....
If these were real Moslems, AND there were football supporters around, would these Moslems have gotten out without being beaten?
Sure this wasn't a JOKE perpetrated by some hooligans donning fake beards?
Wahhabis in short pants?
I suspect this story is 'not on the level'...
"police is working on ID the excess suspects. Sanja Ilic, singer of the group "Balkanika" said that Muslims climbed onto stage yelling "This is Islamic city, this is satanic music"
Just watched primetime news.
