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.

Cuz blondes are too smart to be terrorists? Yes, I'm blonde.

[rageaholic]

As ever, the INS will be a willing accomplice.

[blam]

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

Good. That was exactly my first thought too.

[Destro]

The Muslim newspapers admitted this not the Serbs.

[Destro]

One could make the argument that if it wasn't for Clinton's support during those 8 years, Al-Queeda would have never grown to the menance it now has become.>>>

vooch, is right because the jihadists fighting for the Bosnian Muslims carried out 9/11.

Bosnian Jihadist organized 9/11

[Ronly Bonly Jones]

Vojslav Seselj, the Serbian Bin Laden, danced a jig on 9/11. As you know.

There has not been a single connection made between 9/11 and Bosnia, except in the mind of guilt ridden Serb Holocaust deniers who want to scratch dirt over the droppings of the genocide at Srebrenica like a dog trying to cover up a mess he made on a lanoleum kitchen floor.

I should add that the only anti-American bigotry I ever encountered in Bosnia after 9/11 was from Serbs. Never from Muslims, who despised what was done by their nominal coreligionists.

How about 2 connections?

Two of the fighters who took part in defending Bosnian Muslims from Serbs and Croats in 1995 were young Saudis named Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar. They went on to play an organizing role in the Sept. 11 attacks and died on the hijacked plane that crashed into the Pentagon.

If you want to include the first attack on the WTC that would make it 3 connections by jihadist vetrans of Bosnia.

[Ronly Bonly Jones]

Even if it were true, which I doubt, if the Serbs had not tried to steal their neighbor's fridges, the islamonazis would never have received their training.

Seems to me then that the road to the WTC clearly began in Belgrade.

[Destro]

You don't beleive what? You have names and you have several western sources. Are too weak minded or to vain to admit you are wrong?

[FormerLib]

We were morally required to stop Serb Naziism in its tracks.

And ended up immorally boosting al-Qaeda terrorism instead. Thanks for the Sept. 11 surprise!

Had the Serbonazis triumphed, Bosnia would have been a little tiny Islamofascist state centered around Tuzla, populated by PO'd displaced persons with dead relatives (all butchered at the hands of Serb Nazis) stinking around them on the farms and factories they'd been forced to abandon. We saved Bosnia both from Serbocrazies *and* from the Islamonazis. It ain't paradise, but then if the Serbs had behaved themselves and (a) not started the war in the first place or (b) committed GENOCIDE we'd all have been a lot better off.

Defeat sure tastes nasty, doesn't it, Slobbo?

[Ronly Bonly Jones]

You don't beleive what? >>>

That's actually a good question. I don't believe you. What you are is a question I haven't figured out yet.

[Destro]

That's why I link.

If Serbs won there would be no al-Qaeda in the Balkans. PERIOD. There are a million Muslims living in Serbi and Montenegro proper and al-Qaeda is no where to be found there. Al-Qaeda is found where you have NATO protection - Bosnia and Kosovo and Albania. The Croatians maybe would have kept them out-but they sold out to al-Qaeda as well.

[Godfollow]

You'd think little old "white" ladies being strip searched in US airports would be mad as hell and would want to join...

[dirtboy]

The hell you say. Genocide within 400 miles of German soil (or less, if you consider Austria part of the Third Reich historically, as it was at the time) is INHERENTLY a threat to the United States.

Gee, I didn't realize that Germany and Austria are part of the United States, especially since Germany vehemently opposed the United States pursuing its national interests against Iraq.

Genocide in Europe is not to be tolerated and for good reason.

Sorry, but genocide is and of itself not a national security issue for the United States. I'm not saying that we should not intervene against genocidal acts - but they do not automatically constitute a threat against U.S. interests - and, in the case of Kosovo, our intervention worsened our national security interests AND made matters worse on the ground there. Thank you, Bill Clinton...

[Ronly Bonly Jones]

If the Serbs had triumphed unopposed there would be no Muslims in the Balkans. Because they would have shot them all in the back of the skull. JUST LIKE THEY DID AT SREBRENICA.

I'd rather have a handful Qaida operatives and a million innocent Muslims untouched than have your obscene idea of "peace" (the making of a pile of Muslim skulls) in place. That's the difference between you and me. I am not willing to let fear of a few terrorists turn me into a gibbering Orc with a Muslim bone in my nose.

[Ronly Bonly Jones]

The hell you say. Genocide is what we're in business to stop.

You may go now.

[arasina]

Think they'll let him sign up? I imagine he'd take the martyrdom option over execution any day.
