The majority of Bosnian Muslims grew up in a society that was, essentially, Western-oriented (which Yugoslavia was, despite Communism). The majority of them do not support Al-Qaida. But you only need a handful of religious fanatics and you've got a huge problem on your hands. Such fanatics exist in large numbers over there (both local and foreign). Many have been recruited by Al-Qaida and some of them are bound to kill innocent people across Europe and the USA. It's not a question of IF but WHEN they're gonna do it.
Keep ignoring the red flags, Hoplite.

We're not ignoring any real red flags, Banat, as demonstrated by the arrest by Bosnian authorities of Bektasevic and his cohorts.
We are, however, based upon recent experience, inclined to view as false the red flags which you and your friends are waving, since they've turned out to be more about pushing a Serbocentric agenda (everybody else bad, ergo we good, so cut us some slack for what we did under Milosevic) rather than one concerned with actual anti-terrorism.
