[GAB-1955]

Burning churches is regrettable and stupid. The Albanians aren't saints, as people here frequently and I agree. However, no more open fighting has occurred since 1999, and in that KFOR is a success.

As for a base for Jihadis—what, Great Britain and Germany aren't the key source of terrorists in Europe?

Absolutely incorrect.

The violence continued on March 18 with further demonstrations in many localities across Kosovo, notably at Čaglavica again and also in Kosovska Mitrovica, Lipljan, Obilic and Pristina. The casualty toll at the end of the day was 28 and 600 people were injured, including 61 peacekeepers and 55 police officers. U.N. spokeswoman Isabella Karlowitz said 110 houses and 16 churches were destroyed. She also reported that around 3,600 people had been made homeless by the violence, mostly Serbs but also Roma and Ashkali.

Some lies do not become true regardless of how often they are repeated.

The lack of open fighting is due to the Serbs being obliterated in most areas of Kosovo - the remaining Serbs live compacted and Albanians/NATO aren't ready to risk an open/heavy war yet.

There have been kidnapping, murder, looting and theft from minorities. There is heavy pressure which forces minorities out - this includes the Goranis (Slavic Muslims in Kosovo's south) and Croats (hundreds of Kosovo Croats left for Croatia). There are still reports of Albanians pressuring these people who are left and trying to gain control of the land and businesses they use to survive.

There was also the war in Macedonia in 2001 which was supported by Kosovo fighters who were involved. Additionally there was fighting in southern Serbia in 2000-2001 which was supported by Kosovo. The potential is there for more war and they are now on hold to make Kosovo look more peaceful. But it ain't over.

The Kosovo Albanians are highly involved in illegal activities and network over Europe. Many of the largest drug/thieving gangs in Spain, Britain, and Italy are Kosovo Albanians (sometimes mixed with other Albanians.)

The war was started by the Kosovo Albanians with western help and training (CIA, Germany's BND) and ended when they got what they wanted all along - the Serbian government and forces out of Kosovo so they could have it for themselves.

THEY are the ones that start the wars and then shut them down.

Giving the ethnic Albanian criminals Kosovo is rewarding terrorism and theft.
