If Republicans had waged such a stupid, unnecessary, immoral war as Clinton's they would be attacked. The left would be screeching.

The first post 9/11 beheading was of Guillermo Solero, a California native, who was beheaded by the Abu Sayyaf group in the Philippines in October 2001. Abu Sayyaf was tied to Al Qaeda since its founding in 1990.

I am doing a thesis on the War in the Former Yugoslavia and the more I read extra material the more I am shocked. I was around 10 when it started (1991-2) and as it went on it was easy to believe the Western Media's portrayl of it as the "evil" Serbs against the "innocent" Bosnian Muslims.

After doing my research, I realise this simply isnt true. It looks to me as if the Bosnian Muslims were the most viscous and disgusting protagonists, the Serbians and Croats did bad things too, but not in the same manner. Of course as my thesis will be marked by liberal lecturers I'll have to say "all sides were equally bad" or run the risk of a low mark - still its better than the current false status quo line of the Bosnian Muslims being the innocent victims.

Amongst other things Ive found some reliable sources which describe how the Bosnian-Muslims, under guidance from their Fundamentalist sponsors, set up "beheading camps" at Zenica, and de-capitated Serb and Croat civilians and then played football (soccer) with the severed heads (see Mike Curtis "CQB" for this) - if anyones got any other suff on similar incidents neglected by international media then please post them.

Its disgusting and this sort of thing was financed by Mosque collections in places like the US and Europe. If theyre getting money here to fight in Bosnia and Chechnya its a safe bet Mosques in other parts of the world are getting collections for attacks like Madrid and 9/11. I think of this War on Terror and it really worries me. They clearly have the zeal for it but I dont think us "infidels" (read civilised people) do. Too many people are taken in by liberals into thinking that the War on Terror is phoney, they just bury their heads in the sands and ignore it. You only have to look at birth (and sadly conversion to Islam) rates to see if this continues the civilised world will wont be in a favourable position (numerically for much longer). Russia is much weaker economically and in terms of population growth now than it was in 1979, to be honest I dont know if it will be able to stop Islamic terror on its southern frindge for much longer. If it gives up then all the Islamic fundamentalists there will move on and attack a new place, probably Europe or the USA.

Best of luck to Russia and all the other forgotton countries fighting this war on terror. The Islamists might claim to have their god on their side, but you have the full support of the majority of the civilised world.
