You have swallowed whole the popular version of PC history.

Try reading Maddens'a article here for an accurate portrayal of Spain and the inquisition

As for Serbia and the Mooslems - this might help awake you from your stupor

The rest of your drivel is beneath contempt...the realization that history is written more than ocasssionally by those who political/religious/ideological axes to grind might help you with a more objective reading of history in the future.

From the encyclopedia link in the link you posted on Kosovo:

"Kosovo is the term deeply embedded in the Serbian national consciousness - it draws from the 1389 Serbian defeat by the Turks. "

Kosovo Polje is the "field of blackbirds" as they call the place where the Serbian army was destroyed.

"Some Serbian nobles and peasants converted to Islam in order to reap privileges by serving the foreign oppressor. Their offspring are today's Bosnian Muslims."

So, as I'm reading you, the Kosovars don't have any right to be there. The fact that they are descendents of Serbs who converted to Islam seems to matter not at all to you. That is how the Serbs see it, anyway. Racial traitors, they call the Kosovars. I said both sides committed atrocities, I meant it. Some of my knowledge of the subject comes from reading, some from classes I've taken, and some from people who worked with me whom I sent to Sarajevo and Tuzla, in the mid-1990's. "You have swallowed whole the popular version of PC history." No, I've learned from a multitude of sources that history is never simple. You've swallowed the whole "Islam is evil" thing, yourself. Islam is a bunch of people. Some are good. Some are bad. Some are variable. Try reading a little more history yourself. Christians are the same way.
