is just another bloody Jihad

The idea that the secularized and pro-American Kosovars are jihadists is simply ridiculous. The KLA fought for the liberation of Kosovo from the Serbs. Nothing in their political statements or acts during the war or since then supports the concepts of jihad, sharia, or any type of religious motive--Islamic or otherwise. KLA soldiers included Muslim, Catholic, and Orthodox Albanians from Kosovo, Albania proper, and the diaspora. Their elected president is a Christian,the Catholic Church in Kosovo is thriving, and Christian missionaries are welcome. Their two most revered national figures are Skanderbeg and Mother Theresa, both Christian. During the war when bin Laden sent his emissary to offer weapons and money, the KLA turned him down flat--didn't want anything to do with him.

Dennis, in my time in the Balkans, Middle East and Africa, I've been in no-kidding real-life Muslim societies where Islam is actually practiced, jihad is supported, Christianity is despised, and Americans are the enemy. Kosovo is not one of those places.

People who are not on terrorist payroll think otherwise.

 All those dynamited Serb Orthodox churches and monasteries in Kosovo are mute testimony to the untruth in your statement. How many are there? 70? The foreign fighters came from Arab lands to make Jihad and they succeeded. Kosovo is now part of Dar al Islam so you should rejoice. Your objective has been achieved, Milosovich is on trial in a UN court, yet you persist in dredging up past events in the Balkans.

Kosovo is a Muslim territory. How many of the Albanians are Christian and how many are Muslim
