Over 10,000 people turned out Saturday for the reopening of a mosque in Bosnia that was blown up by Christian Orthodox Serbs during the 1992-1995 war and that became a symbol of the effort to destroy Bosnia’s centuries-long multireligious fabric.

let’s say some Manila Filipinos smashed a Japanese pagoda during WW2 and later the Pagoda was rebuilt:

would we be jumping up and down swooning because of it?

I don’t think so, and I don’t see the point in this, either.

why are Western People constantly presented with the idea but deep in their heart they’re **supposed** to be on the side of Islam..?

I still would like to know how much bribe money Bill Clinton pocketed for helping Muslim terrorists conquer Kosovo.

Blow it up again after President Trump takes the oath of office. He, unlike Billy Goat and Hillary, will not bomb Serbia and kill innocent Christians.

I’m thinking we picked the wrong side in that conflict. And a rhetorical question; Why do we still have troops deployed there 20yrs on in a place that holds no strategic importance to the US...oh, that’s right, a liberal got us involved to distract the sheep from his scandals, and since it was a liberal, it must be a “good” war.
