Bosnian Muslim Cleric, US Diplomat Discuss Terror Threat in Bosnia (Terrorists!? We!?)

This was one of the conclusions of a meeting earlier this week between the Deputy High Representative, US diplomat Raffi Gregorian and the head of the country's Islamic community Reis Mustafa Ceric.

The meeting was held Tuesday to discuss tensions triggered after in an Aug. 18 interview Gregorian said that Al-Qaeda has its supporters in Bosnia. He also said that some Western intelligence agencies consider Bosnia to be one of Al-Qaeda's transit points.

Gregorian's made his remarks in an apparent reference to Mujahedeen fighters who fought alongside with Bosnian Muslims during the 1992-1995 war.

Bosnia is still recovering from the conflict that ended with the US-brokered Dayton peace accord n 1995, leaving the country an international protectorate and divided into a Muslim-Croat entity and a Serb mini state.

After the war, under international pressure, country's authorities expelled most of foreign fighters, but few hundred remained behind after taking Bosnian citizenship. Bosnia's government recently started reviewing all citizenships given to Islamic fighters.

Gregorian's interview was criticized by Reis Ceric, who described it as "incorrect and malevolent." Sulejman Tihic, president of the key Bosnian Muslim Party of Democratic Action also ciritized Gregorian.

“After the war, under international pressure, country’s authorities expelled most of foreign fighters, but few hundred remained behind after taking Bosnian citizenship.”

Complete nonsense. What international pressure? It was the international pressure that put them there in the first place thanks to Clinton's deal with the IslamoNazis.

Serbs are a constituent people of Bosnia and are about 1/3 of the population. Serbs lived in Bosnia before the Ottoman Turks came, and so Serbs were living there long before there were any Muslims living in Bosnia.

The first killing was done by Bosnian Muslim militants who fired at Sarajevo Serbian civilians who were in a wedding party. Several were injured and and the father of the groom was killed.

The Muslims started killing scores of Sarajevo Serb civilians within the first several days of the war - I read that in a report about Bosnian Muslim army records released in 1997.

It was a big lie that their President Izetbegovic was moderate and wanted peace. He even stated something like he would sacrifice peace for "independence". So he was willing to destroy a peaceful situation to get his way. And thus the war began.

Impossible.
Well, that's what I've heard from the media for years: there
are no "radical Islamics" in the former Yugoslavia.

I guess that's why OUR government settled 40,000 to 50,000
Bosnian Muslims in the greater St. Louis area.

I'm sure they had nothing to do with the election of Democrat
Claire McCaskill to the U.S. Senate, seeing how there's no vote
fraud in St. Louis.
