“Refugees from the Former Yugoslavia”
The six foreigners who planned a mass-murder at Fort Dix were originally described (by the FBI apparently) as being from the Former Yugoslavia. My initial question was Bosnian Muslim or Albanians? If the men had been Serbs, the term would have to have been "Serb terrorists." As the story is being reported now, none is in fact from Yugoslavia. Of the six "Islamic militants" (one cannot say Muslim terrorists), one is from our ally Jordan, a second from our ally Turkey, and the other four are from Albania. The only way to reconcile the two versions is to assume that the four Albanians spent time in Kosovo.
If more details had been released in the beginning, we should have known the terrorists are Albanian. What other Muslims would go to the the Poconos to train—why not Tel Aviv? Who else could think that paintball games were sufficient combat training to take on a US Army post. Who else would take their training photos to a fast photo finishing place to be developed? I am reminded of the Albanian spy who came to America during the Cold War. Knowing nothing about the US and understanding little English, he went around asking suspicious questions about how to meet influential politicians.
More recently, there was the Albanian thief who robbed a series of upscale jewelry stores. When he was finally caught and questioned, he explained he was raising money for the Albanian lobby. What Albanian lobby? Ask Bob Dole. Ask Tom Lantos. Ask all the other members of Congress on both sides of the aisle who have been taking Albanian money and covering for the Kosovo Albanian terrorists whose principal fund-raising activities include trafficking in heroin trade and white women slaves: In Europe they are the major players in both businesses.
The strangest part of all this is that the bribe-takers have done their job well. Non-Albanians have been murdered and driven out of Kosovo, Orthodox churches by the score have been dynamited, and the Bush administration is committed to giving the terrorists their independence. They will immediately finish their job—the genocide of Christian Serbs—and, even better from our point of view—they will establish a Muslim terrorist state in the heart of Europe. This is what it means to have the best Congress that foreigners can buy.
Misguided Americans generously took in Bosnian Muslim and Albanian Muslim refugees. The Albanians, significantly, were given hospitality in Fort Dix. Then why would Albanian Muslims go out of their way to antagonize their benefactors? Because, in addition to being thieves, rapists, drug-racketeers, kidnappers, extortionists, and homicidal maniacs, they are the dumbest people in Europe.
Will this "incident" have the slightest impact on the negotiations over the status of Kosovo? I doubt it. Why? Because Americans are dumber than the dumbest people in Europe.

Let me point out for a moment something Dr. Fleming wrote a couple of comments ago: "The Albanian/Serb hostility is really the result of the Albanians’ conversion to Islam."
Muslim Albanians became the fulcrum of Ottoman power in the region after the Serbs's exodus from Kosovo in 1690 (and subsequently). As Serbia began the chain reaction of anti-Ottoman liberation movements in the 1800s, the Porte's only allies in the Balkans were Albanians and Bosnian Muslims. Both were co-opted by Vienna after Austria-Hungary took over administration of Bosnia, Raska and Kosovo following the 1878 Treaty of Berlin. The League of Prizren argued for the formation of an Albanian entity within the Ottoman Empire, but was very pro-Ottoman in character.
Long story short, Albanian hatred of Serbs - as Christian "underpeople" - stems from the legacy of Islam and Ottoman rule, and was amplified by Austria-Hungary as part of its imperial agenda in the Balkans. This feeling was exploited by the Nazis, as well as the Communists, throughout the XX century, and most recently by NATO.
One may say that "the religion of Albanians is Albanianism," as Albanians frequently do, but there is no escaping that Islam shaped "Albanianism," particularly when it comes to Albanians' relations to their Christian neighbors.
as always this is propaganda,you can not make responsible a whole country and/or people based on four people...
One can say the same of Serbs, Avni. You can't judge them all based on the actions of a few, but oh does the West try and try and try and try and it won't stop trying until they get a good reality check.
Dear Avni,
Neither you, nor I are any good in mathematics. Let’s try to find a more accurate number of Albanian criminals by using unbiased and international sources – agreed? Good. Here we go.
Albanian criminals exceeding the modest number of four, according to the Austrian Interpol: MORINA Drilon, REXHEPAJ Nazif, THERQAJ Ardian, GECAJ Ded, Spahiu Leonard, Hajredini Gentjan, MALAJ Arlind, LATIFI Lulzim, GURGUROVCI Ibrahim, ZYMERI Rrahim, AMETAJ Sabit, FRROKU Lek
Of the 11.398 recruits listed for the Division, 9.275 were ascertained to be suitable to draft in the Waffen SS. Of those suitable to be drafted, 6.491 Albanian were chosen and inducted into the Skanderbeg Division. To this Albanian core were added veteran German troops primarily Reichdeutsche from Austria and Volkdeutcshe officers, NCOs, and enlisted men, transferred from the 7th SS Mountain Division "Prinz Eugen" which was stationed in Bosnia-Hercegovina. The Kosovo Albanian 21st Waffen Gebirgs Division der SS "Skanderbeg" consisted in total of 8.500 - 9.000 men of all ranks. The 6.491 Shqiptar recruits were assembled at depots in Kosovo where the formation and the training of the division began.
And yes, there are those four you mentioned as well. My math is often poor, but it seems to me we have counted over 10,000 Albanians with Serbian blood on their hands – wouldn’t you say?
I am not entirely sure that all the above can be called "propaganda" and it seems to include well over 10,000 people (as opposed to your count showing 4 people).
I come from a right wing Greek town on the border region, 200 years ago our people were slaughtered in Albania itself, those that fought and survived moved South. The historical accounts given by my family complement NGL Hammonds book Epiros. We came from the heartland of modern Albania, where Greeks lived, called Mati, the fertile valley.
Greeks also built a few great cities, this is in ancient times, and a major Mycenaen city has been uncovered in Albania as well.
During the last 100 years Greeks have been persecuted in Albania, and Greeks are still denied their rights, threats and intimidation are still employed.
The Greek government does not take a hard line, they betrayed the people when national borders were established and betrayed them again to communist crimes.
The word is getting out.
Thanks for Chronicles
what a circus show of misinformation from serbian rapist ....
and now the grek with the name of Makedon shows up to put the the lid on the pot , the balkan Alliance of early 1900's is alive and still wants to rape the native people of the balkans
*you Serbian killed how many people in the balkan in the last decade or so ..??
*you damaged how many Catholic Churches ??
*You raped your own slavic cousins ?
*You gave Iraq services and parts ?
*you danced on 9-11 ?
Rexxy, answer me one question. Knowing that your a man of blatant honestly I only hope your answer will be in character.
Which ethnic group in the Balkans has suffered the most in terms of population loss (that is genocide, ethnic cleansing, whatever you want to call it), loss of property, loss of basic human rights and forced into conversion in the past 100 years?
Since 1907 to today. It's not that hard.
The native people of the Balkans of course ....
You refuse to answer because it works against your anti-Serbian agenda.
Sorry Rexxy, the PR deal with Rudder Finn Inc (a public relations firm which was hired for services with the governments of Bosnia and Croatia in the early 90's, and Kosovar Albanians in 1999 worth millions of dollars - which noeone really bothered to investigate)expired a few years ago, noone really believes in the Albanian sob stories anymore. The fog of war is slowly and surely starting to lift.
I like your name Bob ....
the "Partisan" part of it remind me of all the Yugoslavian Albanian Partisans that were killed by Serbian...besides the 10,000 that only Albania sent up north to aid .
and I am not anti-serbian ...I am anti-wrong
................
and you are using this biased article by whatever his name is to do your own little serbian propogandovich ....you might as well ..uh ?...opportunity is here for you .... grasp it ...grasp it while you can ...its not like the grasping of hay that you usually been getting in the last few decades....its also a good day for serbian smokescreen as well ...the winds are just right ..
oh how easy it is for you to forget the last havoc you unleashed in the balkans ....
let alone the past ones of many years ago ....
Most of the people in EU know that what Serbs did towards Albanians during the war is unacceptable. The fact is that the Albanians had to do something to protect themselves because first of all Albanians were in their country. No matter what anyone says Kosova was part of Albania if you go back just 50 years ago. What about Srebrenica what do you call that. I bet if there was no evidence servians would be more then happy to deny it. Children womens husbands fathers were killed in Kosova during the war.
It's time for the webmaster to end this collumn. Albanian propagandists are invoking their rights granted to them by the Nazi Italy and Germany - that's the only answer to the question what was Albania/Kosovo 50 years ago. It was struggling to get rid of the Nazi evidence and Nazi uniforms your fathers and cousins wore a few yaers prior - that's what it was. The constant propensity towards their only two neighbors (Greeks and Serbs) is filled with such hatred that any discussion becomes quickly a monologue filled with lies, misdirection and folly. Thank God, that there is a sentence: Deeds speak louder than words.
With all the millions of Albanians that were killed by the evil Serbians how is it possible that the population of Kosovar Albanians would double from 1.3 million to nearly 3 million today? Granted a lot of them go back and forth to Albania proper over the porous borders, but the numbers alone do not entirely make sense.
Among the "8000 Muslims killed by Serbians" in Srebrenica, I think that only about 386 were identified with some degree of certainty - where did the 7.5 thousand dead bodies go? Unless that number was also "slightly inflated" by the Islamofascist propaganda.
" No matter what anyone says Kosova was part of Albania if you go back just 50 years ago. "
The person who said this is either an utter fool or a bare-faced liar. Who could possibly think that all Americans are so stupid that they cannot look up a fact in an encyclopedia. To confine the matter only to the 20th century, Serbia liberated Kosovo from the Turks and their Muslim allies in 1912 and it became part of what was later known as Yugoslavia after WWI.
When the conversation descends to this level, it is time to end it.
