"They were there for over 700 years before Allah was dreamed" Well my dear boy exactly where is where? So you are saying these Illyrians were not nomadic but were for ever and a day in Kosovo? You must remember that even before Islam and Mohammed's hangover that caused his visions of Islam, the Arabs and related peoples like the Illyrians were very much nomadic. Go anywhere in Kosovo and identify the ruins of great Illyrian city that firms up your point. I was in Kosovo and its not a very big place. There I saw a lot of ancient Serb buildings. The point is some llyrian/Albanian pissed on some bush while guiding his migrating flock of goats one day a long time ago and decided the place belonged to them while moving on to the next mountain range in what is now Macedonia to piss some more bushes and make the same declaration. Saw some photos of some of your Illyrian friends pissing on a very ancient destroyed Serbian Church just recently which tells me nothing has changed in the last 700 years. You may want to get more educated on the Albanian way of life which includes learning about bullshitting and lying at a very early age. They used this ability very effectively during the war and most of all do not preach to me about Albanians especially the KLA whom I got to know first hand back in 1999.
Question for you has there ever been an ancient Illyrian city excavated anywhere in that region? I have never heard of one but if you have please piss away.....

No one is claiming that one group was nomadic or not. I was just wondering why he said "like the muslims" ...that's why the 700 years point. People I assume were as nomadic as they had to in order to survive.
You don't have to take my word or anecdotal evidence for it for it, just search google for Dardani. They were an Illyrian tribe which happened to be right on that area and you will even find maps. As far as migrating, you gotta be kidding me. The Serbs' migration to that area is documented, everyone admits it so why would you even bring it up?
Kids taught to lie at an early age? Wow, now that some breaking news. You have found the only people on earth (I'm sure you have it all documented and took care of any potential bias) who teach their kids to lie. Let me guess: The Serbs teach their kids to be honest. Right?
And no one got to know the Sebs first hand. It's everyone else's fault. The Bosnians, the Croats, The Albanians. Everyone is picking on the peace loving, innocent Serbs.
