Recent statement by the departing Homeland Security chief Tom Ridge that a profile of a terrorist must be described in a different way is an encouraging sign. Ridge said that al-Qaeda is actively recruiting terrorists among the white race: Bosnians, Chechens and among the Muslims integrated in the Western society, in particular, women. The new profile of a terrorist - the white al-Qaeda - removes another constraint in the battle against the islamic terrorism that has become a world struggle.
The bad part of the Ridge's statement, however, is that it has come relatively late, and that it is partially true.
The proof that Ridge's statement is true could have been heard immediately after 9/11. For example, immediately after the hit on the World Trade Center, I was summoned by a Belgrade TV Politika where I alluded that the central threat to the West may not come from al-Qaeda members recruited from Arab countries or Asia, but from the members and sympathizers of these terrorists mingling among the white races of Europe. The rationale is simple: since the al-Qaeda attacks on US will not end, and all Middle Eastern visitors to the US will immediately become suspects, terrorists need killers that will go unnoticed by the authorities and, increasingly, the suspecting public.
Since the middle eastern racial type is unique, and despite all efforts by the US government to respect all racial types, whether they like it or not, this racial type will be profiled. Precisely because of this, al-Qaeda has decided to recruit its terrorist killers among muslims that have a racial blend in a western society and a large pool of this racial type is found in the Balkans among Albanians and Bosnian Muslims.
Also important is that the 9/11 attack should be understood as the Islamists do: that it was a prelude designed to test al-Qaeda's possibilities and explore American vulnerabilities that are to be used in the final assault. Al-Qaeda wants the final assault to inflict a mortal blow to America or inflict sufficiently large damage so that US would become a desert that will never be able to recover into an oasis of freedom.
If the aim is a mortal attack on the US, then acts of the 9/11 type seem to be important to the terrorists only as morale boosters for their allegiance. But to achieve destruction of America, islamic terrorists want to hit targets such as nuclear facilities or the stockpiles of the atomic weapons, or use the weapons of mass destruction that will kill all alive but keep the material wealth of the US which islamic terrorists covet.
In December 2003 I've also alluded to this nuclear and WMD threat on a Belgrade TV show, and unfortunately it seems not early enough: soon thereafter, the news came that at least 10 top secret disks pertaining to the US nuclear program have been stolen from the Nuclear Laboratory in Los Alamos. The more bizarre is that this was the second time that top secret nuclear files have been stolen from that laboratory.
The repeat of the theft would not have happened unless some serious security holes exist and not just as absence of sufficient security personnel but, more importantly, as a political refusal to look into the eyes of the truth. Because of this, there is a real possibility that the institutions such as the one in Los Alamos will become infiltration centers that will lead the terrorist activities in the US and the peoples best suited to infiltrate these institutions and destroy America from the inside are the "white al-Qaeda" found among the Muslims of the Balkans - most notably the Muslim Albanians and Bosnians. That is why al-Qaeda is actively recruiting among them.
Ridge has made a similar mistake by not including into the new terrorist profile the islamic Albanians, or more precisely, their organized political-criminal hybrid that dominates Europe and has recently dethroned the Italian Mafia in the US as the leading criminal enterprise. This failure may be a tragic result of the Balkan policies that US has had in the Balkans and it compounds the political and security mistakes that the ex-Yugoslav and now Serbian authorities are making.
In treatment of the islamic problem in the Balkans the accent of the problem was always shifted onto the Bosnian Muslims while, in the case of Albanians, the phenomena of islamic fanaticism was downplayed.
When analyzing the Albanian society, for example, the typical depiction is of a conglomeration of 3 religious groups, and that the Islamic one is made up of Sunnis and many other dervish sects among whom the Becktesh was the largest. The cliché was that Albanians have overcome all of their religious differences and achieved national unity so, the cliché goes, religion does not matter to the Albanians. Therefore, the impact of Islam on the politics of Albanians was neglected and with that the potential influence of the al-Qaeda type organizations was also neglected.
Many superficial elements did give this clichéd impression. Albania was ruled by an atheistic regime for 50 years and it was removed only recently with the fall of communism; all Albanian separatist groups that operated in the Balkans had a distinctly marxist outlook and were nostalgic of Albania that was stalinist at the time.
The clichéd political profile of Albanians in the Balkans suggested that the Albanians are secularized society with a negligible Islamic influence. Along with the neglect of the force of Islam among Albanians, whether deliberate or not but nevertheless a false religious picture was also portrayed of the Albanian population. For example, the much touted "Balkan expert" Stephen Schwartz recently made a claim that 15% of Albanians in Macedonia are Christian while a more realistic picture is a negligible decimal. Similarly, in Kosovo, claims are made that hundreds of thousands are Catholic when in fact the Kosovo Albanian Catholic congregation led by Bishop Mark Sopi is at 20,000 - just below two percent.
In addition to the overwhelming numbers and behind the surface of clichés attempting to whitewash the Islamic influence among Albanians are cultural practices that suggest a much more "Islamic" character of Albanians then Bosnian Muslims.
For example, even during the years of hyper-atheism of the communist Yugoslavia, Albanian recruits in the ex-Yugoslav army refused pork products at an overwhelmingly larger rate then did the Bosnian Muslims; Albanian soldiers demanded that the toilets be outfitted not with paper but water hoses; belief in djenet and huria (Islamic heaven's virgins) that are waiting for the devout ones is much more widespread among the Albanians then the Bosnian Muslims. What's more alarming is the spread of the Wahabism among the Albanians across Balkans. In fact, the most prominent Kosovo Albanian clergyman, Redzxep Boya, is a Wahabi schooled cleric and exerts tremendous influence on the political landscape of this province. In Albania itself, furthermore, Muslims are increasingly renouncing moderate Henif-Islam and flocking to the militant Wahabism.
The Wahabi Redzxep Boya was recently removed from the leadership position and along with these traditional Islamic practices of takhiyah that require a Muslim to deceive the infidel in order to bring victory to Islam; the upsurge in Islamic fanaticism among Albanians; sheer scale of population numbers; general cultural predisposition to the extreme Islamic practices, as well as the vast and brutal criminal network that stretches across the world... all represent a terrorist profile that should alarm the West and in particular, the US.
The profile should be even more alarming because the al-Qaeda has already established a good terrorist network among the Albanians in the Balkans. During the mandate of the post-communist President of Albania, Sali Berisha, al-Qaeda infiltrated that country with great deal of help from Berisha's chief of security (SHIK) Baskim Gazidede who may have organized bin-Laden's visit to Albania. Gazidede also organized the secret training camps for the Albanian gunmen, KLA, in Albania itself, Kosovo and Macedonia, and some of the financing for the camps came from al-Qaeda.
After the fall of the Berisha government, Gazidede allegedly flew to safety to Syria. Despite his departure and presence of the NATO troops in Albania and Kosovo, the goal of Islamic terrorists is unchanged for this region: to create a large, majority Albanian and Muslim state in the Balkans by annexing territories from Serbia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Greece to Albania and to use that islamic state as a launching pad for destruction of the West.
With its support for the extreme islamic forces in the Balkans, the US has contributed greatly to the spread of terrorism and insecurity in the region. Extremists used this support very well and now are ready to repay it back to America and the payment may be too dangerous to collect.
I alluded that the central threat to the West may not come from al-Qaeda members recruited from Arab countries or Asia, but from the members and sympathizers of these terrorists mingling among the white races of Europe.

I've personally witnessed a lot of the 'settlement' of A/B Moos all over America...from the SE to Big Sky and all over the Upper/Midwest.

Does anyone in their RIGHT MIND believe they won't do this when and if they can, as if they aren't just toying with the idea now?
CLOSE THE DAMN BORDERS and FIGURE OUT where ALL of the Criminal Invaders are, and WHICH of us inside America is ON THEIR SIDE!!!!
SECURE AMERICA NOW!!!!!

Every nation has its share of war criminals. No decent Serb will deny that Serbs committed atrocities in this or past wars. My mother's uncle, who was a colonel in the Serbian army that drove Turks out of Europe in 1912, made it very clear that the liberation of Serb lands and Europe from Turkey's occupation was not without atrocities. No one is proud of that, and they should individually be brought to justice in Serbia, just as America is trying its own war terminals at home and not in the Hague.
The mistake of the Clinton administration and all those who to this day think Bosnian Muslims and Kosovo Muslims are on our side (indeed "share the same values" as Sen. Lieberman said about KLA) are sadly mistaken. As long as we support Israel no Muslim will in his heart be on our side even is he or she likes us.
More importantly, Islam forbids Muslims to make friends with Jews and Christians, so it is always a deceitful relationship. Those Serbs who collaborated with the West against their own people and who to this day collaborate to the detriment of Serbs in Bosnia and Kosovo will not get off easy -- oh no, they will answer for their crimes and treason as soon as the political climate changes (and that is inevitable).
But I can say that the West lost a traditional and determined friend and ally by betraying Serbs by siding with their and our traditional enemies.
Amen, brother
"dennis, you need to beat feet over to Kosovo and tell them this!!! Without your tutelage they have grievously erred--they have elected a Catholic (Rugova) as their president!!!"
And a former KLA commander/terrorist under ICTY investigation as Prime Minister!!!
"just about every non-Slavic writer on the subject has been labelled as anti-Serb."
LOL. And just about every non-slavic writer on the subject that's against the Kosovo war has been labelled anti-Albanian/pro-Serb and so on! The fact is that the "labelling" goes both ways.

The Macedonian news agency MakFax ran a similar article 30th November 2004.
"Chronicles Intelligence Assessment: Balkan Muslims fit for Al Qaeda recruits"
At least 6.000 members of the terrorist organization al-Qaeda, are on the territory of Macedonia, Albania, Bulgaria, Kosovo and Bosnia & Herzegovina, says the magazine "Chronicles Intelligence Assessment", based on sources from intelligence services.
Shahid Emir Musa Aizi, an Afghan veteran close to the Taliban leadership and Al Qaeda, is trying to recruit Muslims with Slavic origin, because they don't look like Arabs, therefore are more suitable for infiltration in Europe. Such people can be founded in Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Kosovo and Sandzak.
According to the magazine, Aiman al-Zavahiri, the second ranking leader of Al Qaeda, is leader of the terrorists in Balkan. After aborted assassination attempt in Egypt, he escaped in some Balkan country, French media say.
The military analyst Aleksandar Radic in the interview for the magazine "Blic" said that the Balkan countries are suitable for Al Qaeda's new recruits, because the only Muslims that look like European are in Balkans, so they can be used for actions in the Europe.
He adds that Al Qaeda is not planing major terrorist attacks in the Balkan countries and no local government is interested in supporting the terrorists.
The major factor of political destabilization of Balkans are ties between the governments and the organized crime, claims Radic for "Blic'.
It's difficult to determine the number of Balkan people involved in the terrorist network. The number is not important because even one terrorist can inflict tremendous damage, says Radic.

" Just for the record."
Thanks. I'll give Bogdan a history lesson.
"you obviously don't know mark, who has been on these threads forever providing "objective" information in support of Balkan Muslims. He is not alone, as there are a couple of others"
Personally, I find it interesting to see which articles mark and co post replies to. One group of threads which I noticed thier lack of presence on was the threads about the Dutch documentary showing Albanian support for Democrat candidates prior to the US election. I guess they must have missed those threads.
Thanks for the ping to the thread, Marmema. It does make me proud that the boys, American and Greek, stood their ground to defend the church. Too bad the other sissy European units in Kosovo don't have the guts or the inclination to do the same.
Some call it "selective outrage." Mark & co are selectively outraged at Serbs but not at Albaninas. That doesn't change the fact that Muslims can't be our friends -- by virtue of their faith and not of our choosing.
I'm sure he must know the poem. He was a Middle-East scholar at Oxford, and wrote some of his first books about that area.
I am curious if Bogdan knows all this. Especially the role of Vuk Stefanovich-Karadzhich as a useful fool for the Austrians (he was sponsored by Bartholomew Kopitar, Austrian Emperor's personal Court Censor). The fact that Vuk converted to Roman Catholic faith while in Vienna is cleverly suppressed in Serbia to this day as "irrelevant". The consequences of his reforms are in large part responsible for chaos Serbia is in today linguistically and culturally, the sad level of her national education, even literacy (which, ironically, his system was supposed to eradicate), and many other things.
One thing is for sure: his work was much more profitable for the Croatians who finally got "their" literary language), and Austrians, who gained politically between 1950 and 1903 by alienating Serbs from Russians and eliminating Russian influence in the Balkans (both of which were absolutely essential for the Berlin-Baghdad Axis).
My ex brother in law is Iranian, blonde hair brown eyes, and fair complected. Can;t tell unless he opens his mouth with his accent.
Here's the link, from Hitchens' column (in The Nation) of Oct 4, 2001:
There are others who mourn September 11 because it was on that day in 1683 that the hitherto unstoppable armies of Islam were defeated by a Polish general outside the gates of Vienna. The date marks the closest that proselytizing Islam ever came to making itself a superpower by military conquest. From then on, the Muslim civilization, which once had so much to teach the Christian West, went into a protracted eclipse. I cannot of course be certain, but I think it is highly probable that this is the date that certain antimodernist forces want us to remember as painfully as they do. And if I am right, then it's not even facile or superficial to connect the recent aggression against American civil society with any current "human rights issue."
