Tell me something specific from the book, Destro, not something you read off the internet.

For example, Kohlmann relates how before Western media started reporting on the war in Bosnia, nobody from the Afghan jihad knew what or where Bosnia was - and the first group of Arab-Afghan jihadis to go to Bosnia actually came from Milan Italy. Prior to the war breaking out in Bosnia, the jihadis were at a loss as to where to go - Afghanistan had turned into muslim on muslim fighting, and the Pakistani government was shutting down the jihadi infrastructure built up in that country during the war. So the Serb invasion of Bosnia, and subsequent reporting of the atrocities perpetrated by them there in the Western media, provided the Arab-Afghans both a purpose and a destination - the cause and effect nature of their involvement in regards to Serbian actions is clear.

And where exactly does Kohlmann refer to Izetbegovic as a Wahabbist? I must have missed that part.

Even at his most radical, Alija Izetbegovic was far from a Mullah Omar or even a Radovan Karadic. [sic] Rather, Izetbegovic is more comparable to the various personalities who have dominated Chechen nationalist politics since 1992, such as Dzokhar Dudayev. While they are far from committed fundamentalists themselves, men like Izetbegovic are weak enough both ideologically and militarily to cooperate with Muslim radicals, led primarily by Al-Qaida, out of desperation. This phenomenon is not entirely illogical, and some blame must fall on Western governments for failing to provide alternatives to embattled but generally popular Third World governments like the one in Sarajevo in 1992. This is true especially when the United States government itself has recognized the sovereign right of those legitimate governments to defend themselves, yet paradoxically simultaneously prevents them from acquiring weapons in order to exercise that fundamental right.

Epilogue, p. 229

The smart money's on your not having read this book, Destro, and that you're trying yet again to BS your way through getting caught in yet another lie.

He can't reveal anything besides what is on the 'net. The dip is pointless with his posts.

Hello! "Even at his most radical", duh!

And he was a polygamist in real life! What kind of Bosnian Muslim is a polygamist!!! You might like the excuse the Serbs made me do it but in reality "radical" Izetbegovic, like all radical Muslims sought out such company as did Dzokhar Dudayev. It is what their type breed. Like I said - my only concern is to document Bosnian Muslim collusions with al-Qaeda.

And how did al-Qaeda get into Bosnia? Why Clinton opened up a Bosnian pipeline or if you will did nothing to stop it - I guess you missed the chapter sub titled blowback -
