With the support of the United States and the opposition of Russia and China, Kosovo has declared its independence from Serbia, and in doing so, has laid hold of Serbia’s most celebrated Christian shrines.
The Kosovo declaration of independence oddly puts the United States and several of its allies in direct support of establishing the third Islamic state in Europe, in addition to Albania and Bosnia. The move fans the flames of a struggle between Christians and Islamists that dates back to the Ottoman Empire takeover of Serbia in 1389.
Over the next 400 years, the Islamists controlled the former Christian empire of Serbia. According to historic accounts, many Christian Albanians converted to Islam to avoid high taxes and persecution from Muslims. In the 1870’s the Christian Serbs once again tried to retake Serbia, but were defeated and over a quarter of a million Serbs were ethnically cleansed from Kosovo between 1876 and 1912 by Turkish and Albanian Muslims. Fighting continued through the 1900’s until the area became a segregated part of Yugoslavia and later, part of Serbia. Enter communist Slobodan Milosevic who rose to power and took over Kosovo, which was striving for independence in the 1980’s.

Great idea! And how about a Jewish homeland in the Middle East, while we’re at it?
Big mistake.
...but we're supposed to be the party that's strong on national security.
Hokaaaaaaaay then!
For once I agree with Russia and China. The US is overcome with PC silliness which we will regret. The Serbs have always been our ally and we’re kicking them in the teeth.
They are each parliamentary republics and are not governed by Islamic law.
Of course, Serbia has no problem with actual Islamic states ruled by sharia law - since they are quite cozy with Iran.
sooooo
does 2+2 still = 4?
Nothing odd about it. ....at least at this point. The U.S. and the European Suicide Union have been supporting Islamic power in the region for a long time now. The Islamists can just sit back and relax -- the West will spread their power and influence for them.
If it doesn't, it's doubleplusungood.
Putin and Medvedev have been in Serbia discussing putting Nukes there.
Excuse me...the administration inherited this from the previous administration. You can blame Clinton/Albright for what happened in the former Yugoslavia. Were just stuck with this mess.
I vote for putting the new Islamic state in Antarctica.
maybe it is to get back at Russia
No ya big silly! geez...
Serbians have fought Muslim invaders for the last 700 years. They have better credibility than you when it comes to Muslims.
Not really. They were quite compliant Ottoman citizens for the vast majority of that timeframe.
They have better credibility than you when it comes to Muslims.
That's a good point: my country currently does not have any diplomatic relationship with the Islamofascist regime in Iran, but Serbia is extremely tight with Ahmadinejad. So they really have much more credible inside knowledge of Islamofascism than I do.
Another Islamic UN vote.
your newspeak is too.
