sorry for the double flags.

Before you think about the article, take a look at the source and guess what the nationality of the writer is.

[Diocletian]

I have. He is a Serb. I am a Croatian. His nation and my nation have fought against each other twice in the past century. However, just because he is a Serb doesn´t mean that I have to discount his piece based solely on that.

This piece is backed up by documented sources.

Now, do you have any comments on this piece?

clinton Legacy Bump!

[ma bell]

Then all pieces written by anyone is held for questioning according to your theory, which is asinine/pointless.

[Nathan Zachary]

I do. Clear out the Jihadists and the place will be a better place for all. They just play one against the other until they are in a position to clear out ALL the Orthodox Christians, which is what the entire region was before the Muhammadans came along. It was the Serbs who finally rid the land of the Ottoman empire control in 1912.
You need to go a little further back into history to settle other disputes, which will never be settled as long as the Jihadists are there to stir the pot. There are just using Croats and Albanians to their advantage, their true allegiance is to Muhammad and the umma.

[Diocletian]

Tell the State Department :)

[Nathan Zachary]

Well, the writer does leave out important little facts, like WW2, and Hitlers aid to the Albanian muslims, who made up the bulk of the SS division under command of Hussaini (Arafats uncle) which slaughtered over 100,000 Serbs, a million Jews,
and destroyed much of the orthadoxy, and was a central proccessing area for all the Jews in Eastern Europe. The Jihadists got their leg up at that time, cancelling all gains from the defeat of the jihadists in 1912.
Now thanks to Clintons blunder, the Serbs may fall for good.Complete genocide.

[Diocletian]

your info on WW2, Husseini, the Albanians, etc. is faulty.

[Nathan Zachary]

How so?

[Diocletian]

Husseini did not command any units. His role was strictly to serve as an ambassador to Balkan Muslims to encourage them to join the various SS units set up by the Germans. In particular, he was important in urging Bosnian Imams to get Bosnian Muslims to join the SS Handzar unit.

The Handzar unit was not at all involved in the rounding up or murder of Jews, but they did slaughter Serbs.

What nationality has to do with veracity of the text? Do you trust Hitlery, Clintoon and Ketchup guy because they are Americans?

Can you elaborate, please?

Once in Berlin, the Mufti received an enthusiastic reception by the "Islamische Zentralinstitut" and the whole Islamic community of Germany, which welcomed him as the "Führer of the Arabic world." In an introductory speech, he called the Jews the "most fierce enemies of the Muslims" and an "ever corruptive element" in the world. Husseini soon became an honored guest of the Nazi leadership and met on several occasions with Hitler. He personally lobbied the Führer against the plan to let Jews leave Hungary, fearing they would immigrate to Palestine. He also strongly intervened when Adolf Eichman tried to cut a deal with the British government to exchange German POWs for 5000 Jewish children who also could have fled to Palestine. The Mufti's protests with the SS were successful, as the children were sent to death camps in Poland instead. One German officer noted in his journals that the Mufti would liked to have seen the Jews "preferably all killed." On a visit to Auschwitz, he reportedly admonished the guards running the gas chambers to work more diligently. Throughout the war, he appeared regularly on German radio broadcasts to the Middle East, preaching his pro-Nazi, anti-Semitic message to the Arab masses back home.

To show gratitude towards his hosts, in 1943 the Mufti travelled several times to Bosnia, where on orders of the SS he recruited the notorious "Hanjar troopers," a special Bosnian Waffen SS company which slaugh-tered 90% of Bosnia's Jews and burned countless Serbian churches and villages. These Bosnian Muslim recruits rapidly found favor with SS chief Heinrich Himmler, who established a special Mullah Military school in Dresden.

The only condition the Mufti set for his help was that after Hitler won the war, the entire Jewish population in Palestine should be liquidated. After the war, Husseini fled to Switzerland and from there escaped via France to Cairo, were he was warmly received. The Mufti used funds received earlier from the Hilter regime to finance the Nazi-inspired Arab Liberation Army that terrorized Jews in Palestine.

[Nathan Zachary]

SO I guess he didn't actually "command" the division, but rather set it up.
Still This particular piece tells that he (his creation) slaughtered 90% of the Bosnian Jewery. And as mentioned before, the division was brutal towards the Serbs.

The SS Handzar had no role in rounding up or killing Jews. This is a fallacy. The best book on the SS Handzar by far is Himmler's Bosnian Division: The Waffen-SS Handschar Division 1943-1945 by American author George Lepre.

I highly recommend it.

[Diocletian]

Himmler was fascinated by the concept of Jihad, and intended the SS Handzar to be entirely Muslim staffed, but was forced to compromise due to military and diplomatic pressures.

The units were staffed with German officers and NCOs, and the rank and file were partially added with Roman Catholics since the Croatian Leader Ante Pavelic felt that a wholly Muslim unit would seek to place itself as a military source of autonomy for Bosnia, and to secede from Croatia.

Also, the SS Handzar rebelled against the Germans in the small town of Villefranche in Southern France, during training.
