Presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain has enjoyed strong support from a lobbyist group that backs the Kosovo Liberation Army despite allegations the KLA is a Muslim terrorist group with ties to criminal drug networks and al-Qaida.
The Albanian American Civic League, or AACL, regards the KLA as "freedom fighters," said the AACL's president, former Republican congressman Joe DioGuardi of New York.
They're "not terrorist, like the Serbs and Greeks say," DioGuardi insisted in an interview with WND.
But Islam expert Robert Spencer, editor of the popular website Jihad Watch, contends radical Islam is the driving force behind the Kosovo independence movement.
"There is no excusing the excesses of the Serbs under (former President Slobodan) Milosevic, but there is no denying also that jihadists have been pouring into Bosnia and Kosovo, preparing to use them as a base for jihad activity in Europe – and we have been helping them," Spencer told WND.
Spencer explained that the KLA is directly linked to the Kosovo independence movement.
"When Kosovo independence was declared, thousands of Kosovars gathered in Pristina and chanted, 'KLA!' 'KLA!' Spencer noted. "This was a telling indication of the broad popular support the KLA enjoys."
KLA members, however, continued Spencer, were trained in al-Qaida camps.
"There is little doubt that there are powerful elements in Kosovo who are Islamic supremacist and pro-Sharia (Islamic law)," he said. "They will do all they can to turn Kosovo into a jihadist camp in the heart of Europe."

Ping!
Why would they back McCain over their guy, Obama?
John John...we are so disappointed...and have been for a long time.
I heard his campsign has no money left. I’m sure the Saudis will step in and so they can say they fund both sickening political parties.
BTW—this GOP race is not over...lots of things can happen between now and the convention and even at the convention.
Where does Huckabee stand on the travesty of kosovo?
Thanks. Sorry for repost.
Moderator can erase this one.
I guess we now have to call McCain “McQaeda”?
Just like his stand for illegals....McCain is weak on the WoT
I thought that I read that Obama was offering his support to the Serbs. I wasn’t sure which Serbs, he was referring to because I thought that the only Serbs that we brought into this country were the Muslim Kosovars, who are technically Serbs.

What does that mean? “Backs McCain”? Are there members of this group actively campaigning for him on the road? Is McCain receiving campaign contributions from this group? Are these people running ads for McCain? What? To me, those actions would be “backing” a candidate.
