They riot over the alleged desecration of the Koran, while our Catherals and Monasteries are being laid to ruin. Who is more entitled to outrage, and where is that outrage from the west?

Not the Koran. Just a SINGLE COPY of it.

Crazy islamics are too busy rioting over alleged using koran as toilet waste (which BTW isn't a bad idea) and the media lying and using half truth reporting that the real important news gets overlooked and not reported.

Keep in mind....they're only white Christian peoples whose only offense is trying to coexist with brown Muslim peoples. Don't expect Kofi, Mohammed and the third world islamafia to give an iota....

I have known about the desecration of Orthodox Churches in Kosovo for a number of years and not a peep from the media. Years ago I met a Serbian bishop named Arsenije hear in NY who gave a little talk on what was happening there. This is about 7 years ago.

There will be no outrage whatsoever from Western liberals. There was only some minor outrage when the Islamist Taliban used artillery to destroy the ancient Buddhist shrines in Afghanistan. The fact that Muslims have defiled churches for centuries on end is conveniently left unmentioned. No stern condemnation of the destruction in Kosovo from the alleged Christians Condelezza Rice or George W. Bush, either.

Muslims consider the Koran to be desecrated if an infidel does so much as touch the book containing the writings of their prophet. Why the double standard? Liberals hate Christianity more than they fear Muslims. In the liberal wotrldview, it's not a double standard. Christianity is the relgion of the oppressor who must be destroyed in order for the free and equal supermen, the "other" (which includes Muslims), to emerge and take their rightful place in the new world order - utopia.

I am nostalgic of the good old days of the Cold War. At least we knew who the enemy was and treated him as such.

Today our government knows that islam is the enemy but is unwilling to state so because of its preference to be politically correct. Remember we need muslim oil because of our giving in to the wishes of environmental wackos.

The answer is simple and we all know what it is. Under Clinton the Serbs were made the demons so that Slick could help the Muslims. This, along with him and Hillary kissing up to Arafat, were intended to get an Israeli/PLO peace agreement and Slick a PP legacy.

Now it has been shown how bad the Muslims really are but the MSM can't turn loose of the myth less Slick (liberals) look bad and Bush (conservatives) look good. That wouldn't bode well for Hillary's ambitions.

"True enough. But beyond that, it also seems true that after the wars of the past decade, few Westerners dare to sympathize with anything Serbian."

I do.

The U.S. was bombing the wrong people in the last war.

Too bad the Serbs didn't win the first battle of Kosovo.

Too bad Mehmet captured Constantinople, and too bad the d@mn Turks weren't forced to give it back after WW1.

And I'm an outraged western Christian. Too long have western Christians bathed in a KoomBahYahh like attitude of misguided tolerance for Islam.

It's the eastern Christians that are being repressed. If you think about it, the eastern Christians have managed to resist islam in it's various forms for the better part of a 1,000 years.

It's logical in a twisted and evil way that islamic terrorists would be targeting eastern Christians. Not only are they a convenient target of opportunity, they are the ones who are familiar with how islam works, unlike western Christians who have been isolated from islam for the most part.
