"Is this accurate?"

kronos hasn't been on much lately. His back went out and the doctor told him not to sit at the computer all the time

"It so happens that the modern-day Albanians have more in common with the Illyrians and Dardanians (the historical people of the Central/Western Balkans) than any other people currently there, excepting the Greeks"

Incorrect, that's more propaganda and wishful thinking. There is no archaeological evidence to even prove this hypothesis.

At least be like the others and post something to back up your argument.

You might want to send some of your links to montyspython so he actually has a counterpoint to post when he responds to me.

"You might want to send some of your links to montyspython so he actually has a counterpoint to post when he responds to me."

I acknowledge that you like to argue based on some logic and evidence, and I respect that. But when you try to present a case that is effectively, "Bears DON'T poop in the woods", it really doesn't take much more than an, "Are you nuts?" from Monty (or anyone) to refute it -- no scientific or historical links necessary.

I will say this, Skenderbej, if the "sides" in this issue were "Serbs and Albanian Christians (especially Orthodox Albanians)", instead of Albanian Muslims, I don't think that there would have ever been "sides" or a conflict that escalated -- not just based on the outlook from the Serbs' side, but also the outlook from the Albanian side.

From my point of view, the Albanian Muslims have written their own agenda in the Balkans and unfortunately the Albanian Christians have (mostly silently) gone along with "the program", whether out of fear and intimidation -- or Albanian solidarity --or whatever.

Too bad, because I think that Serbs and Albanian Christians would likely have figured something out on their own. But because Kosovo became the real dividing line between Islam and Christian Europe and Serbs have always seen themselves as the Guardians of the (Christian) Gate, that neighborhood has traditionally been a bloody mess.

You brought up the point, not me, why don’t you provide the archaeological evidence.

By handing Kosovo over to the Jihadists, the US has supported the “Reconquista” of “Aztlan”.

Even a publik skool graduate should be able to figure that out.

Actually, our “dumb” Americans are much smarter than Chicago boy.
