Did your galley proof omit Kohlmann's conclusion that the Bosnian Muslims rejected Al Qaeda's brand of Islam as being alien to their European sensibilities?

Or did you "read" it like you "read" your Economist subscription?

In short, why do I get the distinct impression that you're just talking smack, as usual?

You now the book (if you read it) book stated that a majority of the Muslims rejected the Wahhabist influence - but the Muslim leadership did not - aftar all their President was Izebecovic a polygamist Waahbist was he not? And their is still a hard core - that is growing more islamist.

'A tectonic shift in the geopolitical world order is the steady transformation of Europe into a safehaven for militant Islam. How has it happened? One crucial answer lies in a recent yet much overlooked chapter of history: the struggle of the Bosnian Muslims and the bridge their jihad helped build from what was the core of the 1980's Afghan mujahideen to what has exploded into the global Al Qaida network. Evan Kohlmann, one of the world's foremost counterterrorism experts, documents and explores that chapter with insight and depth. A valuable contribution.' Andrew C. McCarthy, counterterrorism expert and former federal prosecutor in the 1993 WTC bombing

Book Description

Why did so many of the September 11th hijackers spend time in Germany? How did terrorist sleeper cells plant themselves in cities such as London, Paris, Rome, and Hamburg? This is the first book to uncover the secret history of how Europe was systematically infiltrated by the ranks of the most dangerous terrorist organization on earth.

Terrorist analyst Evan F. Kohlmann argues that the key to understanding Al-Qaida's European cells lies in the Bosnian war of the 1990s. Using the Bosnian war as their cover, Afghan-trained Islamic militants loyal to Usama Bin Laden convened in the Balkans in 1992 to establish a European domestic terrorist infrastructure in order to plot their violent strikes against the United States. As the West and the United Nations looked on with disapproval, the fanatic foreign mujahideen, or holy warriors, wreaked havoc across southern Europe, taking particular aim at UN peacekeepers and even openly fighting with Bosnian Muslims at times. Within a few months of the war's end, home-grown terrorist sleeper cells appeared on the streets of Europe's cities.

Al-Qaida's Jihad in Europe unveils a new angle to the deadly international terrorist organization and includes recently declassified American and European intelligence reports, secret Al-Qaida records and internal documents, and interviews with notorious figures such as London-based Bin Laden sympathizer Abu Hamza Al-Masri.
