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.
If it's really an ethnic conflict like you say, then The Albanians' religion is irrelevant.
Christian Serbs can be terrorists, but not Christian Albanians?

UN Prostitution Scandal - "The charges were first aired by Kathy Balkovac, an American police officer and a former UN human rights investigator... Balkovac alleged that extensive trafficking of women into prostitution had been carried out by UN personnel, NATO troops and other international officials in Bosnia, along with the local police. Balkovac was promptly sent off for psychiatric examination and her contract with the UN was subsequently terminated by DynCorps, the US State Department's personnel subcontractor for the UN Mission."
And these cowards are needed in Iraq?!!?!?!
I believe a mistake has been regarding the banning of Siobhan for alleged "anti-semitism" pursuant to her post below.
If you had read the thread to which she was responding, surely you understand that she is talking about Muslims. It's not my understanding that bashing of Islam (or Catholics, for that matter) is a bannable offense in the same way "anti-semitism" would be.
I trust you'll review your decision and realize that a mistake has been made here. As you'll see from Siobhan's last post her keen Catholic sense about Kerry -- in addition to her substantive allegation of the "satanic" in Islam -- ought to make her a valuable addition to this forum.
It's important to remember that Islam is a heresy and indeed "demoted" Christ, if you will, in favor of Mohammed's sometimes clearly 'satanic' lies. The only Jews who betrayed Jesus were his friend Judas and, to some extent, his "rock" Peter who denied him thrice not even a day after pledging to follow him without fear unto death and the rest of the apostles -- save John -- who were too overcome with fear and confusion to stand by him through the crucifixion.

Ping.

Do not forget that over 1,000 Albanians have been murdered by the KLA
Nice way to give a link that did not work.
Kosovo's Albanians are 95+% Muslim

Are you sure about this? Post # 124 is still there. The comment hasn't even been pulled, nonetheless having the poster banned.

If that comment was posted on this thread, then clearly you are correct that it could only refer to Muslims, not Jews, since this thread is dealing with Muslim terrorism and not with Jews in any way. However, it's the second part that I don't get. Why would it be okay to say that Muslims betrayed Christ but not okay to say the same thing about Jews? Why is there a special code of PC speech regarding Jews, but not any other religious or ethnic group?
