THE BALKANS: Al Qaeda Looking for Blond Recruits

January 20, 2004: Al Qaeda continues to show up in Bosnia. A Bosnian government official issued a statement asserting that Al Qaeda is looking for young Bosniak Muslims to enlist in a so-called “white Al Qaeda.” Here’s the telling quote, as reported by western sources from a Bosnian Serb newspaper: "Reports by international intelligence services saying that future terrorists will be blue-eyed and blond indicate that Al Qaeda is recruiting in Bosnia-Hercegovina and Kosovo. This is why the authorities should prevent radical Islamists from paying young and poor men to go to battlefields and to die there." The “recruiting” is allegedly done by “non-governmental aid organizations” funded by Islamists.

January 13, 2004: Several sources are once again reporting active Al Qaeda recruitment in Bosnia. These sources run from speculation in the Bosnian press to “unofficial” statements by SFOR. The specific targets of Al Qaeda recruiters are Bosniak Muslims who have become Wahabi (the conservative form of Islam from Saudi Arabia). The Al Qaeda recruiters are identified as Islamist mujahadeen fighters who came to Bosnia for the war against Serbia, married Bosnian women, and have “stayed on” in Bosnia. One report had Bosnian recruits fighting in Chechnya. As Europeans, it is assumed Al Qaeda believes the Bosnians are better able to slip through police and transportation security checks.

OK...Two blondes were walking in the park when they come upon a compact on a bench. The first blonde picks it up looks in the mirror and says, "Whose that?". The other blonde takes the compact from the first, looks at it and says, "Don't you know who that is? It's me.

This recent development is why the Brits are canceling flights rather than relying on profiling.

"This is why the authorities should prevent radical Islamists from paying young and poor men to go to battlefields and to die there."

Did you hear about the blond that was told to send a fax to Chicago?

An hour later her boss gets a call from the windy city; "Why are sending me copy after copy of this letter?"

Boss calls in the blond asking if there is a problem with the fax machine.

The blond explains: "No matter how many times I put the letter in the machine to send to Chicago, it keeps coming out the other side!"

Be careful of what you ask for.

Oh brilliant...blonde Al Qaeda eh...? Al Qaeda needs to walk through airport security checks only to see that blonde guys get yanked out of line as much or more than any olive skinned individual.

Next thing you know, Al Qaeda will be recruiting wheelchair bound grannies so they can take advantage of the handicapped parking spots.

[LADY J]

Hmmm - Good time to infiltrate and do a reverse run on them!!

[Amerigomag]

Oh...wait...Isla....never mind.

Religious fervor mixed with desperation is a powerful intoxicant

Well, we know the usual Serb-haters will claim it's all a Serbian plot to discredit their enemies.

And they'll keep that line up even after we start pulling Bosnian ID papers off of the next batch of terrorists.
