What was the truth of these frightening allegations? There were genuine grievances by both Serbs and Albanians in Kosova, and both groups felt threatened. But Serb independent journalists and human rights workers found the more inflammatory charges to be total fabrications. A study of police records in Kosova showed only one rape of an ethnic Serb by an Albanian in an entire year. Similarly, the alleged destruction of Serb shrines turned out to involve isolated cases of vandalism, graffiti, and cutting of trees on church property -- hate crimes, perhaps, but surely not the organized, genocidal annihilation that was claimed."

Funny, every ethnic group other than albanians seems to have been driven out of KosovO by now and you claim nothing serious caused that? You think maybe the albunnies just made faces at all the other people until they got the creeps and left??

Once again, you're misleading Freepers and repeating propaganda: They are over 130,000 Serbs in Kosovo, and less than 200,000 were there to begin with (out of 2 million or so). Many left with the Serb soldiers, knowing what had happened in Kosovo, about 16,000 of them have returned. The 'gypsies' have returned as well. This is not to say that everyone loves each other, there is still mistrust, but it's as you say either. Source for 130,000 Serbs there:

Your views aside, please do not mislead on facts. And calling Albanians 'albunnies' is very childish and adds nothing to the debate. On whether Binder had any pull, of course they do; they are on the ground and are trusted. Do you think a team of investigators checks each story before it's published?.

By 1980's there was a lot of tension, by then SANU had called for Kosovo's autonomy to get pulled and to unite all Serb areas in one, meaning taking land it from all other republics. Serbs had the mighty Yugoslav army, one of the most powerful in Europe.

Once, again, facts are facts and people need to know theme so they make their own decisions. In Kosovo there are plenty of Christian missionaries, new churches are springing up, and many are converting to protestanism and Catholicism.

Here's how "Jihadi" typical Albanians are:

"What is remarkable is that about 10,000 members of Father Gjolaj's midnight congregation will be young Kosovar Albanian Muslims. Thousands more are expected at Catholic churches in other towns and cities across Kosovo.

What's more, the custom is welcomed by the Catholic clergy and generally smiled upon by Muslim religious leaders.

Father Gjolaj says he does not know how or precisely when the custom of interfaith visitation began in Kosovo. He said he would like to see the phenomenon studied by social scientists: "When it started, I don't know, [at least] since I've been here for the past 11 years. But it is obvious that massive participation began before the war. I think we're talking about approximately 10,000 people, most of them standing inside the church's front yard, since there was not enough place for all of them inside."

More than 90 percent of Kosovo's 2 million people are Muslim. Kosovo has been under UN administration since 1999, when a NATO air war ended a Serbian campaign of ethnic cleansing aimed at Albanians in the province.

The Kosovar Muslim interest in Christmas signals neither an abandonment of Islam nor the adoption of Christian belief. Blerta Krasniqi plans to attend Christmas Mass at Father Gjolaj's church this year. She's a Muslim who lives in Pristina. "

As everyone points out, they are some extremists, just as they are in Brooklyn or Small Town USA, but the people are shunning them, and the government is cracking down.
