All one has to do is read

And have you read it?

One doubts it - it's simply not a serious book, inasmuch as Schindler discredits one of the main theses of the book regarding the West's uncritical acceptance of Bosnian Muslim claims through his own uncritical acceptance of the Bosnian Serb claims liberally sprinkled throughout his book.

Case in point, Schindler references the Research and Documentation Center in Sarajevo's work on overall casualties for the war in Bosnia (p. 85 "The Great Deceit"), oblivious to how that work eviscerates the Serbian claims of civilian casualties in the Drina Valley which he later repeats (p. 228 "From Drina to Dayton").

Essentially, while it is a more coherent and easier to read book than Kohlmann's "Al-Qaida's Jihad in Europe", it fails on the most basic level by embracing and promulgating the very same partisanship it decries, albeit on the other side of the issue.

Still, if one confines themselves to reading book descriptions on places such as Amazon.com, rather than reading the books themselves, one could recommend flawed books such as this, I suppose.

Schindler does not reference (on page 85) the Bosnian Federation's Research and Documentation Center which was established by the Presidency of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina as another muslim apologist NGO.

Regardless, your RDC document says, "The RDC research of the actual number of Serb victims in Bratunac has been the most extensive carried out in Bosnia and Herzegovina and proves that the overall number of victims is three to nine times smaller than indicated by Serbia and Montenegro .

That is laughable!!! Their "most extensive" research PROVES is "THREE TO NINE TIMES SMALLER" then indicated by Serbia and Montenegro.

"THREE TO NINE TIMES SMALLER" Such precision!!! LOL!!!

Since you imply you've read the book, why don't you list for your own benefit the number of "Bosnians" that have continued their war of terror on the world.

And if you're not a CS and muslim apologists you'd reply with that list!
