At least they want to deport them. The question is what country will take them?

a little 'mecca' in the balkans thanks to clinton&co.

Part of the Dayton accords were that the Bosnian government would deport the mujahideen who came to their aid when Serbia invaded back in '92. With the exception of those who found themselves Bosnian wives (who number in the hundreds) the muj left, and those who remained behind were there throughout the entire decade long deployment of US troops with IFOR and SFOR. We still have a hundred odd intel types in Bosnia, keeping an eye on things, but generally it's not an exciting place to be for them - the last items of note were the arrest and deportation in 2002 of six foreign nationals whom we had the Bosnians arrest and then turn over to us when we declined to provide them with the necessary information to prosecute them, and the busting up of a 2005 suicide bombing plot which the Bosnians themselves are addressing in their court system.

You'll note that Bosnia to this day is a Christian majority State*, but the Muslims are a plurality because the Christians (Catholics and Orthodox) who are inclined to violence would just as happily slit each other's throats as that of a Muslim. Even with that, however, in the decade that Bosnia has been under international supervision, both the probability and the possibility of a re-ignition of the ethnic war there have diminished considerably, much to the dismay of the local ethnic party politicians who rely upon fearmongering to remain in power.

*State Dept Religions: Muslim (40%); Orthodox (31%); Catholic (15%); Protestant (4%); other (10%).

I agree with the Serbs. The Muslims in the Balkans are a threat to the entire security of Europe because many of them were exposed to Al Queda.
