However, Serbs were our allies during WWI so that example is not accurate. Times may change, but Islamofascists don’t.

[GAB-1955]

Why? We constantly kick the French on this forum although the French were the most constant of our allies in WWI. Serbian intelligence wanted control of Bosnia, which was under Austrian control. The Turks were slowly retreating out of the peninsula, pushed in 1911. They triggered the assassination of Franz Ferdinand to show the Austrians how unstable the region is, especially when the nationalism of the Balkans brooks no tolerance for neighbors. The states of the region went to war again in 1912 when they weren’t satisfied with the 1911 settlement.

The driving force in the Balkans is still nationalism, not religion. Serbs have fought Catholic Croats was well as Muslim Bosnians and Kosovars. The claim that Serbia is fighting Islamic terrorism is window dressing. Serbia wants every canton with a majority of Serbians to be part of Serbia. Fine. That implies allowing the rest of Kosovo to got its own way, and allowing Croat cantons to join Croatia, and so forth. They haven’t allowed that.

Albanians aren’t “Islamofascists”.
