>> You want to pretend that you’ve never seen the pictures of all those destroyed Christian Churches, we’ll take the option of watching you deceive yourself without being pulled down to that level.

NO one denied that Serbian churches were burned and I am not defending it, just as you should not defend the destruction of Cro, Bosnian and Albanian places or worship (be it mosques or Churches) and historical places. Churches and mosques should stay out of politics and out of the firing lines.

You said, Albanians are “illegal immigrants.” Prove it. You can’t because it isn’t true. I spent ALL day yesterday trying to find a reputable source, and all I found is forced migration of Albanians to Turkey, village burnings and massacres in 1912, 1918, and land confiscations to bring in Serb colonists in the 1918-41 (Books by Vickers, Noel, Elsie and Banac).

In 1912, Albanians were at about 75% in population. A book by Danielle Sremac says that 200,000 Albanians came from Albania after WWII, with NO attribution. After reading carefully, she is the Serbian Unity lobbyist http://www.haverford.edu/relg/sells/reports/sevenfallacies.htm and that in commie Albania escape was punishable by death as treason. Tito and Albania’s psycho had a falling out right away and no else mentions it. 200,000 people moving in from a country of 1 million (Albania is 3 million right now) to Kosovo would have made huge news. It only gets repeated over and over again until someone challenges it. Apparently many people in Serbia believe it:
“Albanians are illegal aliens, they practice polygamy, have 20 children each, make money selling drugs and soon will go where they came from” (this was the summary of the common beliefs by an op-ed writer. I will post a link if I find it again)

There are many arguments to be made, no need to resort to lies. I also found out that Serbia made the same “historical right” claim for half of today’s Albania with two of its ports (Serbia’s “Window to the World.”) The powers disagreed, but they got Kosovo at Russia’s insistence.

Prove the "illegal aliens" of Albanian descent in Kosovo? Ask the majority of them for their papers and you will recieve the answer they don't have them. Why? They crossed the border.

Along the border of Kosovo and Serbia near Novi Pazar...I tried stopping a car full of no-licence plate/registered Albanian car from Kosovo. The reason for their refusal to stop? They did not have papers (passport) they were Serbian citizens, they were illegals from Albania.

Not caring nor giving a crud for the regional local nationals, the reason for Albanians in not working in Government "jobs" is they were not citizens.

Old and Old, maybe if you were ever inside Kosovo and had or were boots on the ground, you would know this crap. Instead of relying on the "internet" and not being able to back up your claims they are of citizenship.

Your issue is that you are using some of the worst sources I have ever seen.

Michael Sells? Who claims to be "of Serbian heritage" but is a Professor of Islamic Studies? He's a Balkan Islamic apologist!

What's next Ahmad Suleyman Stephen Schwartz?

Try those writers who wrote on the Balkans BEFORE the PR Firm, Ruder Finn was hired by the Croats, Bosnian Muslims and Albanians. People like David Binder of the NYT, Nora Beloff, Bat Y'eor.

Or those who have written since the wars were over, like Shaul Shay, John Schindler, Christopher Deliso. Not "a Serb" among them.

Most of the writers who were popular during the Balkan wars were just vampires who exploited Balkan myths to make a career for themselves -- people like Roy Gutman, Noel Malcolm, Tim Judah and Phillip Cohen. They are disgusting racists.
