Thanks for posting this Doctor.

The destruction of Serbian Orthodox Churches (CHRISTIAN churches) in the Kosovo and Metohija area has been one of the great tragedies of that area. The "Humanitarians" of the West have virtually ignored this phenomenon, which proves just how phony these bleeding hearts are.

A particularly bad year was 1999, the year of the "Bombing by NATO".

The following website provides a good overview of the casualties suffered by the Serbian churches during just one short period of a few months.

http://www.rastko.org.yu/kosovo/crucified/default.htm

Catalog of Destroyed and Desecrated Churches in Kosovo and Metohia (June-October 1999)

Number of destroyed and desecrated Serbian shrines in different zones of responsibility of KFOR units deployed in Kosovo and Metohia (total 76)

21 USA

21 Italy

17 Germany

10 United Kingdom

7 France

Just one of the examples:

The church of the Holy Virgin Hodegetria, built in 1315. Think about that. This church survived even the rule of the Ottoman Turks in that area for centuries.

And after the "mining":

Funny how the "Humanitarians" all seem to have an overwhelming compassion for the 'Muslim casualties', but when it comes to 'Christian' casualties, they are not so empathetic. And still they do not see the huge mistake they have made in judgment.

By the way, the Turks were actually quite accomodating of the Serbian Orthodox Church for over 4 centuries of Ottoman rule. They "allowed" the SOC to exist and flourish.

What has happened, and been allowed to happen, to the Serbian Orthodox Church in these 'modern' times is a WAR CRIME.

The Turks were always nice to collaborators and quiet serfs.

How many mosques or Catholic Churches are still standing in what is now Republic Srpska?

How many Albanian houses did Serbs destroy on purpose during their "crimes against humanity" campaign?

BTTT. Very tragic and doubly so that such hateful destruction and violence is ignored by the west and the MSM.

LucyT -it could indeed happen here; we’re on that trajectory. Just depends if it changes direction or not. HOw much “community organizing” goes on, and if the head “community organizer” gets dragged off the stage or not.
