Thank you, Albania! says Secretary Rumsfeld to Prime Minster Nano.
President Bush says "Thank you" to President Moisiu of Albania.
I read somewhere that a lot of the "conversions" were actually imported muslims from the Caucasus area.
Rumsfeld also shook hands with Saddam, so what?
Secretary Rumsfeld shook hands with Hussein as a courtesy when meeting him in 1983 as an envoy from President Reagan on a fact-finding mission to a country with which we did not have diplomatic relations.
Secretary Rumsfeld traveled to Albania to thank Prime Minister Nano for Albania's contributions of troops to Afghanistan & Iraq as well as the use of Albanian training areas, airspace, and seaspace to prep American units for deployment into combat.

All of them, including Izetbegovic. Just as criminal as anyone.
No evidence that he's ever been banned for advocating the destruction of Christian Churches though, eh Bonly-boy?
Since Bonly-boy can't fault your facts or your logic, he's reduced to pointing out that you haven't been posting very long as if that proved something.
In his case, he's been around longer than his sign-up date would indicate, but that's a common occurence when someone returns to FR having been banned under their previous screen name.
It's the "Nanny nanny boo boo, I know you are but what am I?" tactic. Terrific.
