Patriarch Pavle meets with Martti Ahtisaari

"We are now hoping that the international community, together with the Serbs and the Albanians, will do everything that is necessary to
finally bring peace back to Kosovo and Metohija. It is important that Mr. Ahtisaari and his associates familiarize themselves thoroughly
with the real situation on the ground, and toward that end that they speak with the Albanians, the Serbs and members of the minority
communities," emphasized Patriarch Pavle. "We pray to God for peace and that what has befallen us does not befall any other people in
the world. We pray to God for peace, justice and freedom for all, for the Serbs, the Albanians and all others equally. We hope that you, too,
are here as men of good will who will help in establishing peace, justice and freedom."

HIS HOLINESS SERBIAN PATRIARCH PAVLE MEETS WITH MARTTI AHTISAARI

Information Service of
the Serbian Orthodox Church
November 25, 2005

His Holiness Serbian Patriarch Pavle, together with His Eminence Metropolitan Amfilohije of Montenegro and the Littoral, His Grace Bishop
Joanikije of Budimlje and Niksic and Protopresbyter Savo B. Jovic, chief secretary to the Holy Synod of Bishops of the Serbian Orthodox
church, received Mr. Martti Ahtisaari, the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General of the United Nations for negotiations on the future status
of Kosovo, together with his deputy, Mr. Albert Rohan, and their associates, in the Belgrade Patriarchate today.

Patriarch Pavle informed the eminent guests that he had served as bishop in Kosovo and Metohija for 34 years, and was well acquainted with
local conditions there. He also informed them about the major expulsion, unprecedented in modern world history, of some 250,000 Orthodox
Serbs and ethnic minority members, and the destruction of 150 churches and monasteries since 1999, when international forces assumed
administration of the southern Serbian province. This is the biggest act of ethnic cleansing ever carried out "in a time of peace" anywhere in
the world. Nevertheless, the most tragic and irreparable tragedy of all is the loss of a large number of human lives. "We are now hoping that
the international community, together with the Serbs and the Albanians, will do everything that is necessary to finally bring peace back to
Kosovo and Metohija. It is important that Mr. Ahtisaari and his associates familiarize themselves thoroughly with the real situation on the
ground, and toward that end that they speak with the Albanians, the Serbs and members of the minority communities," emphasized Patriarch
Pavle. "We pray to God for peace and that what has befallen us does not befall any other people in the world. We pray to God for peace,
justice and freedom for all, for the Serbs, the Albanians and all others equally. We hope that you, too, are here as men of good will who will
help in establishing peace, justice and freedom."

Mr. Ahtisaari informed Patriarch Pavle and the other representatives of the Serbian Orthodox Church that he and his associates had received
a mandate from the Secretary-General of the United Nations to conduct negotiations on the future status of Kosovo and Metohija. Toward
that end, in addition to the Albanian leaders in Kosovo and Metohija, he had already met with His Grace Bishop Teodosije in Visoki Decani
Monastery and seen for himself the difficult living conditions of that monastic community under the essential military protection of Italian
soldiers and lacking even the right of freedom of movement. "Our intention, in cooperation with the UNMIK leadership, is to open up the
local society so that all communities can live freely. My impression is that Decani Monastery is a place that survived. The only positive
example in the present situation. The orders and instructions of the UN Secretary-General, as well as of the member countries of the Contact
Group, are to ensure the protection of all communities and cultural heritage. In this I see the great contribution to be made by the Serbian
Orthodox Church and you personally, considering the great influence you have on the people. The visits to Pristina and Belgrade, and the
talks we have held this time are our first attempt to get a grasp on the problem."


Metropolitan Amfilohije briefly outlined for Mr. Ahtisaari with the entire tragic history of Kosovo and Metohija from the great migrations of
the Orthodox population under Ottoman rule and constant conflicts which continue to the present day. Later, during World War II and the
occupation, approximately 250,000 Serbs and minority members were expelled from Kosovo and Metohija, and an additional 150,000 during
the time of Communist rule. The torching of the Pec Patriarchate in 1981 signified the new awakening of Albanian nationalist chauvinism and
the intent to ethnically cleanse Kosovo and Metohija, emphasized the Metropolitan. "If Kosovo and Metohija become independent, there is
no doubt that the Serbs and the ancient Christian culture there will experience the same kind of catastrophe and the Greeks and their culture
in Asia Minor after World War I. Hence, your task is far from simple. It is clear that international forces cannot remain forever in the region
but the International Community must find a way for displaced persons to return to their homes. Refugee returns is not only an essential
matter of enabling basic human rights and a matter of humaneness but a prerequisite for the survival of the remaining holy shrines. It is
essential to protect our ancient churches and monasteries - the Pec Patriarchate, Gracanica, Bogorodica Ljeviska and others - following the
model of special protection zones such as that around Decani Monastery; however, the holy shrines exist for the people and if there are no
people they will perish despite the protection zones. In this sense, you have the full support of the Serbian Orthodox Church to carry out
your difficult and demanding task. UN Security Council Resolution 1244 and its full implementation could contribute to finding a model for
the future status of Kosovo and Metohija. This solution is the only realistic solution that can bring peace to Kosovo and Metohija and
Serbia, as well as to the entire Balkan peninsula.

At the conclusion of the meeting with Mr. Ahtisaari, His Holiness Patriarch Pavle presented him with copies of the Communiqué of the
Serbian Assembly of Bishops following its discussion on Kosovo and Metohija, and the Memorandum of the Holy Assembly of Bishops on
Kosovo and Metohija, both official documents of the position of the Serbian Orthodox Church regarding this issue.

TV Most taken off the air in central Kosovo and Metohija

Kosovska Mitrovica International Press Center
November 24, 2005

According to the decision of the UNMIK Office of the provisional commissioner for media, the repeaters on Mokra Gora and near Gracanica
were turned off yesterday, leaving the area of Metohija and central Kosovo in media darkness.

Subsequently, the director of TV Most, Zvonimir Miladinovic, held a press conference today during which he warned that by obstructing the
broadcast of the only Serbian television program in Kosovo and Metohija, Serbs and other non-Albanian communities have been left in an
information blackout, depending exclusively on the Albanian media.

"It's a fact that we began broadcasting, perhaps too soon in our desire to provide Serbian language programming for central Kosovo and
Metohija, from Gracanica three years ago without an official permit. We did so as a result of numerous requests and petitions by Serbian and
other non-Albanian citizens living in this area, who also approached the Coordinating Center," said Miladinovic.

He reminded that on September 3 this year TV Most sent an official request to UNMIK asking for permission of use for its frequency. Instead
of a response, it received an order for TV Most to cease broadcasting immediately and remove its repeaters used in "illegal broadcasting".

According to Miladinovic, previous special representatives and KFOR commanders in Kosovo and Metohija used TV Most to send their
messages and explanations of their operations and activities to the Serbian people in Kosovo and Metohija, recognizing the television
station as one of the most popular in this area.

TV Most sent notification yesterday to the special representative of the UN secretary-general Soren Jessen-Petersen, asking for his
intervention in order to resolve the problem of legalizing the frequency as soon as possible.

Appropriate officials of the Republic of Serbia have also been notified regarding the interruption in broadcasting of TV Most programming,
and an appeal to journalistic associations is forthcoming.

Commenting on the situation, the Serb National Council assessed that the UNMIK commissioner for media Robert Gillette had made "an
anti-Serb decision". "Even before the beginning of negotiations on the status of the southern Serbian province, he openly took the side of
the Albanian separatists, the extremist advocates of an independent Kosovo and Metohija."

"The SNC of Kosovo and Metohija demands that this irrational and highly damaging decision by Robert Gillette, which denies the Serbs of
Kosovo and Metohija the right to receive information in their native language and, at the same time, intentionally weakens the Serbian
position during the course of the negotiations on the status of Kosovo and Metohija, be rescinded immediately," assessed the SNC.

Journalists working for local media also reacted, announcing their protest.

Odd, the uniformed gangs, makes me think of the Calif. Liquor Stores and the suits and bow ties.

Are we going to see uniforms? Will this force the law that governs POW's? If in uniform, the law take force, LOL, for the life of me I cannot name the law, but can recall that it came from the Geneva Convention.........

What is needed in Kosovo is more international presence, not less, so that
the proclaimed standards of democratic civil society are met to a greater,
rather than lesser, extent.

Recently, uniformed gangs have appeared in Albanian-dominated parts of
Kosovo in defiance of the United Nations, the police force and the
international troops.

This is ominous. Violence or threats of violence should not be rewarded by a
promise of independence.

Wahhabism spreading among Albanians

BBC Monitoring International Reports November 20, 2005

WAHHABISM SAID SPREADING AMONG ALBANIANS IN MACEDONIA, KOSOVO

Text of commentary by Islamic theologian Zekeria Idrizi: "Careful:
'Wahhabists' marching in Albanian lands", published by Kosovo Albanian
newspaper Koha Ditore on 15 November

I have hesitated to approach the phenomenon of our Albanian "Wahhabism" and
"Wahhabists" (if you can call them Albanians!), which, over the past 20 years,
has spread its roots across our Illyrian [ancient people of the Balkans, whom
Albanians regard as their ancestors]-Dardan [ancient name of Kosovo]-Albanian
lands. I have hesitated for the simple fact that I thought that Washington, that
is, the Bush administration is currently dealing with this problem.

But, the phenomenon of "Wahhabism" has assumed wide and alarming proportions
in all Albanian lands and in the Albanian diaspora in the West. They are visible
everywhere with their eccentricity in every respect - long beards, Asian
dresses, short trousers, wives covered by black dresses (which remind you of
Slav Orthodox nuns), and extremely radical and vulgar vocabulary. God, they only
need to bring camels from the deserts in order to conform completely - of
course, according to them - to the "Sunnet" [practices of Muhammad] of the
Prophet! For this reason, the Shkup [Skopje] citizens are justified in calling
them "bearded men," "Selamalejkums" [from the Arab greeting selam aleykum],
"mojahedin," "Taleban," and so on. Their eccentricity is really out of this
world for our European environment and for our national traditions. Finally,
their entire extreme and radical doctrine, ideology, and practice is against our
religious doctrine, which has been embedded in our tradition for centuries since
our forefathers embraced the Islamic religion. Our Wahhabists want, among other
things, to uproot our traditional religious doctrine - Hanafi Madhab [religious
legal doctrine] - and replace it with the rigid doctrine of "Wahhabism." What an
absurdity - they want to uproot the extremely tolerant and rational teachings of
our Hanafi Madhab with the extreme, stale, infantile, and irrational teachings
of Saudi Wahhabism! With their deranged views and propaganda, they have created
unseen confusion and chaos in our lands - in mosques, streets, homes, religious
ceremonies and celebrations, electronic media and press, Internet, and so on.

Praise be to God, why do we, Albanians, need the Saudi Wahhabism, which, as
a religious and ideological faction, opposes the study of general and Islamic
philosophy in the universities of Saudi Arabia? It denies rationalism,
moderation, and human intellect? This is because, according to them, it is
"haram" [sinful in Arabic] for a Muslim to think with his or her own head! Oh
God, what a misery! Why do we need the Afghan "Taleban," who turned stadiums
into criminal courts and places for punishing women and who strictly forbid the
use of radios, television sets, and computers in Muslim homes on the verge of
the third millennium? Why do we need this sect, which has sown hatred,
divisions, and fratricidal war everywhere? Why do we need this nihilistic
religious philosophy that wants to uproot every trace of culture and
civilization, this philosophy that denies every national value, and every
historic treasure of religious and national heritage?

The alarm bells are already ringing. In Kosova [Kosovo] these Wahhabi
bastards have started to desecrate our graves and our monuments "in the name of
religion." This is really terrible and worrying. If nothing is done to prevent
these vandalistic acts, I fear that it will be too late tomorrow.

I think that there are many factors that stimulate the expansion of this
Wahhabi ideology among Albanians. On this occasion, I will mention some of the
main factors - of course, from my point of view.

First, it is the indolence, confusion, and at times extreme passivity and
lack of unity among our Islamic theologians and leaders. This has created a
large vacuum among us, which the Wahhabis have cleverly and quickly used to
their advantage.

Second, it is the Albanian Muslims' very superficial knowledge of our Hanafi
legal doctrine (I am not even going to mention other religious legal doctrines
of the Islamic world: Shafite, Hanbalite, and Maliki) in particular and the
Islamic religion in general. This is the main reason why the Wahhabi sect has
been so successful in Albania, given that the long period of atheism there had
created fertile ground for their sophisticated propaganda.

Third, it is the lack of values in modern secularism, vulgar and extreme
materialism, such as drug abuse, prostitution, paedophilia, cannibalism, the
hippie movement, pornography, exhibitionism, and other pseudo-values that have
led many of our young people into chaos, confusion, and the abyss. They are
every day in search of a way out of this chaos. Strangely enough, many of them
find salvation in religion. What religion is that? Of course, in that religion,
or rather in that religious sect that has the most rigorous, most dogmatic, and
most extreme rules. Unfortunately, from the psychological viewpoint, the
pathological cases in society in the past will remain such even when they
embrace religion, Islam, or, in some cases, even "jihad" in the streets of
Illyria, wearing all kinds of Arab-Asian dresses and using very coarse language.
Moreover, this phenomenon is widespread not only in the Albanian world. This is
a universal phenomenon. In the Western world, the number of satanic sects and
their extreme members are continuously rising. We already know about collective
suicides in religious temples and collective sexual orgies of "religious"
hedonists.

And fourth, there is the social-economic factor. After the disintegration of
the Socialist-Communist system, especially after the end of the wars in our
ethnic lands, many Arab-Islamic charities have infiltrated the country and have
been propagating sectarian ideas under the guise of humanitarian work, making
their meagre assistance conditional on conversion to the "new religion."
According to them, from a "deviant religion" (Hanafi Madhab) into "genuine
orthodox Islam" (Bin-Ladin's Wahhabism)! In their efforts, they have opened
hundreds of free Islamic schools for our young people. In this respect, they are
having great success in spreading Bin-Ladin's ideas among Albanian youth. In
addition to this, there is also the miserable state of our religious Islamic
administration and their professional staff (low salaries of imams, muezzins
[Muslim crier who calls the hour of daily prayers], and religious teachers).
Unfortunately, as a result of this situation, a considerable number of
theologians and imams have fallen victim to the Wahhabi propaganda. They get
hefty salaries from Wahhabi centres in the Islamic world to spread their
ideology in the Albanian world. These are not just empty phrases and
unsubstantiated claims. They are well-documented facts. Many times I have said
to ignorant Albanian Wahhabists (who think that they have become "Muslims" by
growing a beard and by reading two or three religious brochures): "You are
nothing but small fry in comparison with your mega-bosses, who are traitors of
the religion of their forefathers and whom I blame the most. This is because
they are the cause of all this chaos and drama in our universe."

The alarm bells are already ringing. Dozens of mosques in Illyrian lands
have been usurped by the Wahhabis! Oh god, this is terrible! The monumental
mosque in Shkup, Jahja Pasha Mosque, has fallen into their hands. The beautiful
new mosque in the Dizhon neighbourhood (Cair municipality) started to stink of
"Wahhabism" from the day it was opened. There are many other mosques, too.

Their goals do not end here. This is just part of the wider efforts to take
over from within all Islamic fortresses, that is, all religious administrations
in the Illyric Peninsula [referring to the Balkans]. There is already a danger
of our religious community offices being turned into "boutiques" of Arab dresses
and, god forbid, stables for camels. In this respect, our religious-Islamic
establishments should show vigilance and a higher sense of responsibility in
order not to fall prey to such perfidious traps.

As early as 1995, I was banned as a result of strict censorship from reading
the presentation, "Religious Sectarianism Among Albanian Muslims Serving
Pan-Slavic Ideology," which I had prepared at the scientific seminar, "Islamic
Religion in Post-Communist Albania," in Durres. I only realized why when I found
out that the seminar had been organized by an Arab "Wahhabi" association. I
mention this fact in order to stress that I warned about the dangers of the
"Wahhabi" phenomenon from very early on. To be honest, it is not by accident
that the "Wahhabi" phenomenon emerged at such a sensitive time for our national
cause when we were in danger of being biologically exterminated. It was quite
typical that the political-military establishment of the Slav-Orthodox Serbs
would allow this despicable phenomenon to spread in our ethnic lands because
"Wahhabism" did the dirty work for Pan-Slavism by sowing division among
Albanians over religious nonsense coming from Bin-Ladin types and by portraying
Albanians as "Islamic fundamentalists" in the eyes of the international
community. This has always been the case since this religious sect first emerged
on the scene in the Saudi desert at the beginning of the 18th century, when its
founder, Muhamed Abdul-Wahhab, lived. At that time, this alleged scholar issued
a fatwa allowing military-political cooperation between the Saudi Muslims and
Anglo-French Christians in the war against the Ottoman Empire. It is worth
mentioning that the Vali [ruler] of Egypt, Muhamet Ali Pasha, this great
Albanian, was sent by the Sultan to crush the uprising of the fanatic Saudi
Wahhabis in blood.

The Albanian Wahhabis are zealous workers. They carry out with precision the
orders that they receive from Arab shaykhs. They have been setting up publishing
houses to publish titles with a Wahhabist-Salafist message and newspapers with
the same message. They also produce various videocassettes and CDs, set up
Internet sites, and conduct a range of other activities in order to increase
their membership. They have even managed to pollute our air, apart from
everything else.

However, my optimism is based on the following: all our Islamic religious
administrative bodies have stipulated explicitly in their constitutions and
statutes that only the Hanafi legal doctrine is to be practiced. The majority of
the Islamic intelligentsia among us support this view. Religious teachers in
medreses [religious schools] and theological faculties preach this doctrine. The
same situation exists in lower religious schools and classes (excluding those
that have fallen into the hands of "bearded men"). Also, the majority of
Albanian Muslims in the country and in the diaspora practice their rites in
accordance with the Hanafi doctrine. For all these reasons, all practices
outside it, that is, all Wahhabi-Salafi practices, are in fact subversive,
extra-institutional, underground actions.

As I said earlier, our doctrine is tolerant, rational, and scholarly. And,
are tolerance, rationalism, and scholarship not the distinguishing
characteristics of our nation?

Thank god that we are Hanafi. In that way, the values of our culture and
civilization are closer to those of Europe and the United States.

LOL, the EU will fold, there are few countries that do not have secret prisons, they have existed always and are needed today, if for no other reason than to keep the ACLU from messing with them.

Look at how many from Cuba, that have been released, have right back to the battle front and took up the war on terror.

Interesting, all the prison searches pull the CIA report, it is as if the rest of the world has never had one.

Even this one, which has a few non-CIA reports is mostly the CIA reports, and I spot checked for 57 pages of the search.

American Hiroshima – the next 9/11?
By Shaheen Chughtai in London

Sunday 27 November 2005, 11:18 Makka Time, 8:18 GMT
When Australian police announced recently that eight men arrested on terrorism charges were planning a bomb attack against a nuclear reactor near Sydney, many security observers elsewhere were not surprised.


Officials and analysts in the United States have been warning that al-Qaida or associated groups are planning such attacks on American soil.

Dubbed American Hiroshima, the plan apparently targets New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Boston and Washington, DC.

Former US Defence Secretary William Perry says there is an even chance of a nuclear attack on the US this decade. Renowned investor Warren Buffet has predicted "a nuclear terrorist attack ... is inevitable".

David Dionisi, a former US army intelligence officer, is convinced that plans for a nuclear attack are under way.

Once a conservative Republican, Dionisi enjoyed success as a Fortune 500 business executive after leaving the army. But he later rejected his political beliefs and now advocates peace, social justice and humanitarianism.

In his new book, American Hiroshima, Dionisi argues decades of unjust US foreign policies will be largely to blame for sowing the seeds of hostility and vengeance which could lead to a nuclear catastrophe.

Aljazeera's Shaheen Chughtai caught up with Dionisi in London.

Dionisi had just flown from Liberia where he helps run a Catholic orphanage.

Yes, I heard the same report, exactly.

Report of a missile.

It was a smoke bomb, etc.

I heard it at 9am and 10 am, but the station does not have ABC the rest of the time, it has Paul Harvey.

Need to get up and change stations.

Hello, hope you are well.

Yes, it appears that we will have a nuclear attack, all the signs and knowledge already exists.

As Dr. Bill Wattenburg says:

" It is not if, but rather when?"

I am not surprised, it had to come.
