Who Will Protect Kosovos Christians?
by John Couretas, Director of Communications
This week, Montenegro voted to end its union with Serbia, the last remaining alliance of the former Yugoslav federation. News accounts of the vote frequently add matter-of-factly that Kosovo, the Serb province placed under the administration of the United Nations in 1999, is next in line to gain its independence and probably by the end of the year.
But anyone who cares about religious freedom, the rights of minorities, and the rule of law should be highly skeptical of an independent Kosovo. Since 1999, when a NATO bombing campaign drove out Serb military forces fighting an Albanian separatist movement, the Orthodox Christian minority in Kosovo has been under intense pressure from Albanian Muslim extremists.
In a Feb. 18 letter to President George Bush, the Serbian Orthodox bishop Artemije of Kosovo and Metohija the ranking church official in the region said that granting the province independence would hand terrorists a significant victory in Europe.
Detaching Kosovo from democratic Serbia would mean a virtual sentence of extinction for my people in the province the larger part of my diocese who continue to face unremitting violence from jihad terrorist and criminal elements that dominate the Albanian Muslim leadership, the bishop said....................

He's spent too much time in the oil business, hanging out with the Saudis, like they are his "buds". The Saudis are the worst of the lot and it is no surprise that they produced an Osama bin Laden.
But, back to the subject of the article, there is something we can do -- there is a link on that www.savekosovo.org website to email Bush and your senator to tell them "No" to giving away Chrisian land to Muslims! Enough of those emails and they can't ignore them.

Sadly, there are a couple left here on Free Republic who will cheer the burning of every last Christian Church in Kosovo as it will mean the death of the Serbs they hate so completely and the success of the Muhammedans that they hold so dear. For some, Dhimmitude just can't come quickly enough, I guess.
The good news is that there are only 2 or 3 such left, there used to be many more.

Dont thank us. Thank Lee Greenwood for such a great song, and our great country.
BTW- This song was most appropriate for my wife when she migrated LEGALLY to the US.

["Did a little more web search: "]
I was searching around too. I know that they were both in Bosnia in the mid-90s. And, Alhazmi went Chechnya I think in 97.
I was looking for a link between them and the KLA.

that granting the province independence would hand terrorists a significant victory in Europe. This is the plan.

Don't know but the Clinton Administration changed the status of the KLA so that we could aid known terrorists.
There really ARE two ways to fight the war on terror. The left is VERY selective when it comes to protesting wars.

OK. So there is no direct KLA connection - two of them appeared to have been "Muj" in Bosnia...
However, it is not disputed that members of KLA were trained by al Quaeda prior to our intervention there...some thanks we got on Sept. 11th, huh?
GD traitorous 'Toon...

There's no "appearance.". The two 911 hijackers Alhazmi and Almihdhar did go to Bosnia to fight against us (Serbs).
To: LjubivojeRadosavljevic
gotta enlist with the US Army to get 'em for free...:)
