UN administrators flee Kristallnacht | 23:46 | B92
PRISTINA -- Wednesday UN administrators have abandoned offices in the Kosovo towns of Gnjilane, Prizren and Pec, fleeing what one UNMIK official described to B92 as Kristallnacht.
Kristallnacht is under way in Kosovo, the official told B92 on condition of anonymity.
What is happening in Kosovo must unfortunately be described as a pogrom against Serbs: churches are on fire and people are being attacked for no other reason than their ethnic background, he added.
Serbs and UN officers have been the target of attacks by Kosovo Albanians during most of the day and night. The most dramatic withdrawal was from Belo Polje on the outskirts of Pec, where UNMIK officials, retreating with Serb residents, where forced to shoot Albanian assailants in self-defence.
The Serbian Orthodox seminary in Pec has been razed, and Albanians celebrated its destruction by setting fire to the local church., said the UN official.

The old Geezer reporting in. I remember reading a lot and have much in my files on a web site that was reporting while Cllinton was bombing from 80,000 ft. I can't remember the exact name of the site. But I think it was: The Emperor has no clothes, or some such. It went into details about the false claims of ethnic cleansing.and had lots of pictures. Also, Christine Amanpour (Clinton's treasury secty. was married to Amanpour) Amanpour was from Albania and trashed Slobo and put out false info on CNN. (The darling of CNN)
Someone else will have to dig up that site. Mine is still somewhere in boxes unopened from my move from Cal to Ga.
HOW BOUT YOU, ALAMO GIRL. I KNOW YOU HAVE SEEN IT
Stretch, the old geezer

GArbage? Check the facts for yourself. Albanians are 30% Christian. And you mean to tell me that Serbian Orthodox didn't burn down Catholic Croat churchs?

White slavers? Hmmm... They are White. They are Caucasian. And were they involved in the White Slave trade? No. Those were the North African Corsairs, not the Albanians.

Those are the statistics for Albania. In Kosovo, they are almost all Muslim. The Christians are more to the south of Albania, near Greece.

Look up the PRESENT DAY statistics of how the albanain mob/gangsters are running women and CHILDREN prostitution rings in Italy, Great Britian and the Netherlands.
In fact, the Brits recently deported some criminals back to Albania... the Haiti/ash-hole of Europe.
YOU... learn something before you come on a conservative site and plead the case of islamic albanian terrorists and criminals.

We can thank the mass media for that. I am happy with President Bush for many things but immigration and kosovo are two that need explaining.

I actually met a REAL Serbian person last week. She is nurse at the hospital where I had my recent surgery. She said she has been here for over 30 years. Seemed ok... did NOT have fangs or horns as our Albanian posters would have us believe that all Serbians have.
To: winodog
Me , too. I wish he would bring our guys home from there.

Well, I'm NOT Albanian, but don't a few Serbian posters here try to make us believe that all Albanians -- Albanian Christians as well, are actually islammmic terrorists with fangs and horns?

Thanks! But, actually they aren't all Muslim.

Hey Dyslexic, read the stats. Read a little:
Most of the conversion's to Islam took place in the lowlands of the Shkumbin River valley, where the Ottoman Turks could easily apply pressure because of the area's accessibility. Many Albanians, however, converted in name only and secretly continued to practice Christianity. Often one branch of a family became Muslim while another remained Christian, and many times these families celebrated their respective religious holidays together
As early as the eighteenth century, a mystic Islamic sect, the Bektashi dervishes, spread into the empire's Albanian-populated lands. Probably founded in the late thirteenth century in Anatolia, Bektashism became the janissaries' official faith in the late sixteenth century. The Bektashi sect contains features of the Turks' pre-Islamic religion and emphasizes man as an individual. Women, unveiled, participate in Bektashi ceremonies on an equal basis, and the celebrants use wine despite the ban on alcohol in the Quran. The Bektashis became the largest religious group in southern Albania after the sultan disbanded the janissaries in 1826. Bektashi leaders played key roles in the Albanian nationalist movement of the late nineteenth century and were to a great degree responsible for the Albanians' traditional tolerance of religious differences.

In Kosovo as Joan says... it's muslim albanians in Kosovo!
Violent thugs today are fighting killing UN Peacekeepers who are trying to protect Serbian civilians and their homes and Churches... the terrorists are muslim THUGS looking for excuses to kill and destroy. Just like muslim terrorists all over the world. Yes, they have horns and they follow satan's koran.
To: Cronos
Nobody reads your long winded posts.
It is already apparent that you support albanian muslim terrorists.
Start quoting the koran for us now and tell us how peaceful islam is. hahaha

Tsk Tsk, and I guess you supported Slobo's genocide against Slavic Catholic Croats too? Note: I call it Slobo's genocide, not the Serbian, as most didn't support him. Then he went for the Kosovar Albanians, and tried to paint them as Islamic terrorists. Well, they're not, but if he had been allowed to persecute them then they would have been infiltrated by Slammie nuts from SAudi A (as has happened in Chechnya) but WE, the US did not allow that to happen. Real Islamic terrorists can be found in Saudi A, Syria, Irn, Irq, Pakistan

Beware the Religion of Peace. Their Prophet is false and preaches the death of innocents, enslaving one's neighbors, and polygamy. Vive Lepanto!
