More on the Fort Dix jihad plot

Four of the jihadist plotters were Kosovar Albanians.

Michelle Malkin has details: "Terrorist plot in Cherry Hill, NJ; illegal aliens among alleged plotters; a John Doe turned them in; press conference at 2:30pm Eastern; Fort Dix has been a refuge for ethnic Albanians; update: details from the complaint."

I think this proves the point that Jihad is not territorial. It seems that European Muslims are as much a threat to our nation as Middle Eastern Muslims. Just remebering Salt Lake City and how if you mentioned Suleman Talovic's religion you were a bigot.

Meanwhile, the government of the United States, and many governments in Western Europe (and certainly the appeasing E.U.) thinks that Kosovo should be ripped from Serbian control and made into yet another independent Muslim country. And no doubt Tom Lantos will, in Congress, proclaim that a fine thing, a thing which demonstrates how well-disposed the American government is toward Islam. Apparently Lantos thinks we are under some obligation to prove that. Others, however, may think not only is there no such obligation, but that such behavior illustrates not friendliness to Muslims (quite unreciprocated, and quite uncalled-for, and quite damaging, in fact, for it will be taken by Muslims, as it should be, as telling appeasement of them based on fear), but unfriendliness, and a cruel indifference, to the claims of the Serbs and of other non-Muslims in the area.

NRA Says Terror Suspects Should Be Able To Buy Guns

News – The National Rifle Association is urging the Bush administration to withdraw its support of a bill that would prohibit suspected terrorists from buying firearms.

=================

Are we out of our minds, or is it just me?

I recommend watching out for muslims following troops who have returned home .I suspect that light surveillance is being done to exact revenge all over the country on those who wage war against Islam.

They are out of their minds.

Particularly interesting, considering that Kosovars are supposed to be among our dearest Muslim friends.

From the FBI affadavit:

"Members of the group pointed out that United States military vehicles were shown being destroyed in various attacks. SHAIN DUKA pointed out that a United States Marine's arm had been blown off at which point laughter erupted from the group."

This made me puke:

"We want to welcome these people to America the way we might wish our grandparents and great-grandparents had been welcomed to Ellis Island," U.S. Army Gen. Mitchell M. Zais, said he had told troops assigned to Operation Provide Refuge...The general, head of Joint Task Force Provide Refuge, said he recalled his own family history as the first planeload of about 450 refugees came down the ramp May 5 at McGuire Air Force Base, N.J. "The babushka-covered ladies looked as I imagined my grandmother looked when she came across the gangplank at Ellis Island -- an illiterate peasant refugee from Central Europe, driven out of Kiev by the pogroms," he said...

You took the words right out of my mouth... er hands. This is the thanks we get for bombing Serbia. And these guys weren't Bosnians, on whose behalf we didn't militarily intervene - they were Kosovo Albanians.

In the GOP debate last week, one of the questions to a candidate was, "How do we get the majority of the world's Muslims to recognize that our campaign isn't against Islam." These cretins (those framing and asking such inane questions) will get us all slaughtered.

....what the NRA is saying (since you really cannot identify who is a terrorists...terrorists will not say so on firearms purchase registration forms) is that if you ban firearms purchases, you must ban everyone from purchasing firearms...and that is not a good policy....

Does this mean that if these apparent terrorists are not convicted, they might go to court to press charges against "JohnDoe" as a hate criminal?

Guys am i the only 1 that fully understand how wrong this is ???

i mean that copy-place guy called the fbi simply because the men shooting on the tape were muslim,

i bet if it was a tape of jews or christians shooting stuff and calling jesus/yahova is great he wouldnt call the feds

i think the fbi should drop picking on those poor muslims (cause islam is a relegion of peace) and put that copy-place biggot in jail for... hatecrimes against muslims or something like that

I think 'ali BOBa' needs to get a better grasp of the ENGLISH language.

And where did appeasement get us prior to the outbreak of World War II?

That much closer to defeat!

I think out of all the terrible shortcomings our leaders have today it is that perhaps the worst that they are oblivious to just how fragile our freedoms truly are. They are like fat cats too lazy to chase the birds but expecting to get fed.

Sure Bob ;-)

(is Bob short for Allibaba?)

The sentimentalism of Zais and others dwelling merely on some outward physical similarity - worn faces, or kerchiefs around the head that are no doubt unremarkable when worn by Jewish women fleeing pogroms in The Pale in 1910, or Sicilian women fleeing poverty in Palermo in 1912, but which on the heads of Muslim women, even those "westernized" and "moderate" Muslim women who come from the Balkans, too often, go unrecognized as what they are -- signs of an undeclared mental baggage, which mental baggage, if not jettisoned, but kept, and opened, can mean only a swelling of Muslim ranks, of Muslim political power, and all that that means, ultimately, for the Infidels, both the naive generals whose hearts swelled with tender sympathy as they watched the spectacle of the Albanian Muslims descending the gangplank (click on the link above), and those who, not so naive,nonetheless will be among the future victims of the naivete of others, others in positiions of power. With power nowadays comes responsibility, and the responsibility is not to give in to sentimentality, nor to wishful thinking, nor to the seductive wiles and charms of individual Muslims, neighbors or fellow workers, but to become well-versed in Islam, its doctrine and its practice, and in becoming well-versed, one will naturally find oneself less and less of a melting disposition, and more and more, stonily unmoved, by the entirely imaginary similarity, evoked by a facial expression or article of clothing, between Muslims who come to settle deep within the lands of the Infidels, and all non-Muslims who do so, and who lack that ticking mental baggage consisting of deep belief in Qur'an, Hadith, and Sira.

The horrid thing is that the American elite will not respond to the danger at home until the danger is obvious or even manifested in successful terrorist incidents. Until people learn the nature of Islam and learn to distinguish the nonsense (for example, Karen Armstrong's work) from the reality, the society will be taught in a concrete, physical way. The abstract, book-learning way should have been sufficient.

Those who adore Mohammed are not valuable additions to the American mosaic. Civil rights protections should not apply.

IN reading Michele Malkins article, I notice the terrorists would record possible targets using cellphone cameras....I noted on the JW article regarding the Muslim terrorists smashing cellphones and music cds.....that one possible reason is that they (the Muslim terrorists) were afraid that people were using cellphone cameras to record their locations and sending the information to coalition forces....Now I see the terrorists in the US doing exactly that..using cellphones for surveillance for terrorist activities....hmmmmmm....

hey Muslim Bob - there are no tapes of Jews or Christians doing the type of Jihadi stuff you refer to.

Only adherents to your Religion of Violence, Islam, do that.

I suppose the alert John Doe that first contacted the FBI about the disturbing DVD can expect to be sued by CAIR and charged with "hate."

It wouldn't surprise me if these guys are let loose on lack of evidence and show up again in about two years now; after completeing a successful jihad mission.

Naturally, we'll have to scratch our heads two years from now, and wonder why we didn't connect the dots.

Hope I'm wrong -- but why were these jerks within a 100 miles of a military base to begin with?

Because, we can't seem to identify the enemy!

I agree with you on the Albanians, but leave Morgaan out of it, since she hasn't surfaced on this thread... and hopefully won't. We don't want this thread to become another 300 post thread of her spam on the holocaust committed by the Serbs.

...it's you. Think about it. If a law is put in place to prevent people from buying firearms who are "suspected terrorist," then who defines "suspected terrorist?" If I want to purchase a weapon with a capacity of >5 rounds, am I suddenly a "suspected terrorist?"

Law by liberals have this knack of sounding sane, when they are anything but.

I don't agree with everything they do, but thank God for the NRA.

sorry for mistake in above post.


What sticks out to me when I read this article is that one of the men works at a nearby pizzaria run by his family. I've noticed in recent years that a pretty large portion of pizzaria's here in New York City are actually run by Albanians. To most people this goes unnoticed; often these people will posse as Italians and many also came to the US via Italy so they can speak Italian. Now I'm sure most of these pizzarias do this simply for business reasons but it does go to show how easily European Muslims can operate under the radar in the US.

@tuffbeingright

so when these Jihadis get released for lack of evidence or are out on bail, it's okay for them to go and buy weaponry?

Some guy named Muhammad Abdullah Al-Wahabbi who is on the FBI's watchlist and under surveillance goes and wants to buy automatic weaponry, that's cool

not a problem

right toughguy?

Okay everybody, relax, false alarm. I just heard the latest update on KCBS radio. These 6 men have no known links to Al Qaeda, and after an extensive 15 minute investigation, are assumed by law enforcement to not be part of a larger terrorist organization. Whew! Had me worried there for a minute.

Ignorant, stupid, lying press. 70% of Albanians are Moslems. Albania is a Moslem country. If these scum are recent converts, their grandparents were probably koran carrying Moslems. Why does the press go to such great lengths to hide the Islamic origin and connection of murder and mayhem to Islam?

I just got done reading the 20 or so page affidvit at another website. Chilling, but extremely informative. If you can take the time to read it, please do.

ALERT ALERT ALERT !!!

"At one point, they contemplated joining the military to wage jihad from the inside:"

They were also considering joining the military to get inside, to be better trained to do their damage.

How many muslims are already in the military???

There are DOZENS of them in West Point, the Air Force Academy, and Annapolis!!!

Congressmen have to be alerted to NOT recommend Muslims to the academies as cadets! The military overall needs to exclude Muslims!

This is a potential catastrophe!

When the US Civil War broke out, many finely trained cadets, such as Robert E. Lee, resigned from the the US Army and joined the Confederate Army to fight against their former comrades. That war cost the country 600,000 dead and almost shattered the nation forever.

We need a "Muslim Exclusion Act" written into the US Constitution. The "Freedom of Religion" clause has to be refined - we can't allow cannibals, headhunters, etc., to practice their religion freely, and we can't allow Muslims to practice jihad, slavery, polygamy, etc.. Islam needs to be excluded.

"Carthago delenda est"

Michelle Malkin apparently quoted the Philadelphia Inquirer:

The men - several of whom were in the same family - had videotaped their practice sessions in the Poconos, the source said. That videotape, in which they railed against America, led to their arrests. The men made the mistake of bringing it to a retail store, seeking to get a copy burned to a DVD, according to one of the sources. A store employee who later watched the tape called the FBI who began immediately investigating.

On the one hand, I am so happy and so proud that private citizens are ignoring the instructions of the Administration and the media to accept Islam as the Religion of Peace, and are reporting the activities of these groups.

On the other hand, I am extremely frustrated and angry that our national security is dependent on DVD copiers, and Walmart clerks and truck-driving instructors (from other, unrelated cases) to catch the jihadists. I've said it before: we are on our own, folks. Teach yourself, pay attention.

Too bad the FBI didn't notify the army of the plot so that army shartshooters would be waiting for them when they arrived at Fort Dix, where our soldiers would have had the great pleasure of obliterating them all in a hale of rifle fire.

Now we'll have to spend years of litigation, countless appeals, fending off charges of religious discrimination, delay after delay of court appearences, ACLU tactics, unending complaints from CAIR and other Muslim organizations and protests from civil rights groups, before these murderers are ever brought to trial.

And even then, they could walk out of court, free men, on a technicality.

This could have all been avoided had we allowed our military to administer justice on the spot, and there wouldn't have been any questions about guilt or innocence. The evidence would have been unquestionable, and the verdict would have been swift and final.

What's worng with our leadership anyway?

This episode with the Bosnian Muslim involvement has reminded me of how pertinent was a document declassified in the recent decade from the British Foreign Office . It is dated from 1919 and it implores the new kingdom of Yugoslovia to convert the Bosnian Muslims as a matter of urgency -- no doubt for security reasons .

Now , what do people have to say to that today ?

The Europeans will regret the day they allowed an independent Bosnian Muslim state and the same goes for Kosovo .

These communities cannot be sovereign states-they are dangerous. They need to be closely supervized by other states and within their borders --given limited autonomy at most.

Take Chechnya as an example . Read about what the Chechens were up to in 1942 against the Russians when the Nazis took the region .

Even now , they want to form an Islamic State in the Caucasus . Mr. Clinton was the great enabler of all Al-Qaeda activities in Bosnia and Kosovo.He even went so far as to do a deal with Iranian fanatics in Bosnia so as to harm the Serbs. The Taliban loved him so much they sent emissaries to the United States just before 9/11 trying to get recognition . At the same time these "friends" were planning 9/11.

Is Washington D.C. run by fools or what ?

"The men - several of whom were in the same family - had videotaped their practice sessions in the Poconos, the source said.

A store employee who later watched the tape called the FBI who began immediately investigating."

EUREKA! Finally, I have discovered the scientifically verifiable reason for islam's existence. It is a perfectly Darwinian process that results in the deletion of abject idiots from the gene pool. allahu akbar.

p.s. to above post. So, I propose we get all the jihadis together, offer them several football stadiums for an afternoon, subsidize their suicide belts, and sell tickets to the spectacle. Might need to replace the turf before the next game.

Win win.

And, which president was it that bombed Serbia all to hell because the Serbs were trying to rid themselves of the homicidal idiots? Just askin'.

Prediction: the ACLU will finally stick up for the 2nd Amendment. Firing M16s in a military formation in the Poconos while yelling "Allah akbar" is a constitutional right that can not be infringed upon.

did anybody in adminstration care to read history of kosovo and plight of serbians before bombing serbia. kosovo is soul of serbia and we have done everything possible to ensure it becomes an islamic state. once that happens money is going to pour in from saudi, iran and pakistan to promote jihad in europe. we will never learn how to deal with a religion which is a curse on humanity. thank god (not allah) for israel, armenia, russia, china and sikhs in india who are making sure these ........ do not raise their ugly heads.

I saw Hussein Ibish "debating" Michelle recently (I think it was Fox). He did not her speak, but kept talking. He was really offensive to people who saw that. Maybe he will talk about this. He's another deceiver-phony. He looks like the Ed-209 from Robocop....

Kind of. It is why I said we have two enemies on a previous message.

The second is all the left-wing media who insist on applying political correctness filtering to the news. It is no longer their job to present news with no filtering. Instead it is their job to "educate us". But for that, they will be applying a worldview - a left-wing worldview which includes the discredited multi-cultralism - all cultural viewpoints are equally valid, and political correctness and appeasement.

So you dont get the word "Muslims" in stories by the New York Times, the BBC.

CNN now has "Islamic Radicals"
BBC now has "Islamic Radicals"

Great ! Albanians !

Don't forget to thank Clinton. Because of his alliance with the UCK during the Kosovo war, Americans have helped islamic terrorists who are launching jihad in the US now...

By the way, you can enjoy the great tolerance of the Alabanian muslims toward Christians :

Actually my son carries his 9-millimeter to work everyday (and thank God he does) because he has a co-worker who went Postal at work (with a knife) and got re-hired. This crazed, knife-wielding psycho is threatening to attack his co-workers again and my son refuses to quit his job (like 3 other people did) so now he carries his gun to work in his backpack.

Believe me, I'm not against people owning guns.

Do I think gun laws in this country are too lax? Yes.

Foxnews just said they were 'backyard Jihadists' and that is was thought they were incapable of carrying out their plot??
To me the backyard thing is one step closer to "sudden jihad syndrome".
They are trying to subtly tell us that not all guys who wish to do these things are part of an Al-qaeda type group. The more it is reinforced that all are potential jihadists the better.

That's true -- and we have to provide special accomdations for their 5 times a day prayer rountine.

That's why we elect Congressmen like Conyers, Pelosi, and Ellison; that's why we have Presidents like Clinton and Bush who pander to groups like CAIR who are then hired to make our military more "sensitive" to islamic demands.

This is a potential catastrophe!

Take a look at the burning church and all those albanian muslims torching the place -- and the KFOR vehicle that drove by and did nothing.

I am not opposed to gun ownership! I am not opposed to guns being in hands of law-abiding American citizens.

but just as this government is sloppy, lazy, stupid and selfish regarding the immigration of muhammadans into the USA, so too is the government sloppy, lazy, stupid and selfish in bending over backwards to make the CEOs and corporate boards of gun manufacturers rich and fat.

but repeat:

I am not against private ownership of guns.

MadMom,

"I think this proves the point that Jihad is not territorial."

This phenomenon of the trans-national character of Jihad has long been evident: if you note the reports about any of the other Jihads of recent history -- the Nigerian Jihad of the 70s; the Afghanistan Jihad of the 80s (which continues to the present); the Chechnya Jihad; the Somalian Jihad; and of course the Iraqi Jihad, you will note how there have been so many Muslims from so many different countries around the world who felt obliged to travel there on their duty of Jihad. This phenomenon first hit me like a bell in about 2002 when I read a news story about two young Muslims in Canada who casually told the reporter that they had traveled to Afghanistan back in the 1990s "so we could do jihad" -- and I thought, WHA???

stop ALL immigration from muslim countries - and no, i am not a "racist" - i am a "realist"

"but just as this government is sloppy, lazy, stupid and selfish regarding the immigration of muhammadans into the USA, so too is the government sloppy, lazy, stupid and selfish in bending over backwards to make the CEOs and corporate boards of gun manufacturers rich and fat.

but repeat:

Ynkedoodl2 - are you sure you're not a woman?

Let's see: Government is sloppy, lazy, etc on immigration and because they let some white guys make more money than you. BUT - you are more than happy to put them in charge of determining who should be deemed a "potential terrorist" and thus have their ability to purchase a firearm restricted. Yea - OK, that makes sense :(

I still think you should try that pamprin. It will probably work for you.

Somebody on one of these threads said that the FBI should have notified the command at Fort Dix so that they could have marksmen waiting for these six little shits to show up and mow them down in a hail of bullets. The same commenter noted that by doing it this way, the suspects would have been caught in the act and their guilt placed beyond doubt, and the American taxpayer spared the expense of long trials, appeals, delays and a possible acquittal of the suspects in the end on some sort of technicality.

I completely agree. These guys are following well known declarations of international Jihadist leaders that they are at war against the West. That means that we are at war, whether we care to say so or not. This plot was an act of war. If its war, its war - so respond accordingly.

It's not a police matter. The U.S. government should give the order to its troops to defend themselves as necesary from this sort of threat and notify the American public to expect this in future.

they could have marksmen waiting for these six little shits to show up and mow them down in a hail of bullets.templar at May 8, 2007 04:04 PM

My thought is the same. That would have scared the wanna-bees Jihadies shi.less. I think we ought to pre-empt them with turbo shower of bullets. They deserve all that and they should get it.

Thank you 'Joe Doe' for the great job done.

uh oh

This is another one of those whiney pieces about the gap between the rich and the poor.

Just why do leftists love to play up this "gap" so much? Well, it's because they believe that income is "distributed," not earned. That's where they get the phrase "income redistribution". Wealth distribution is a function of government. Earning wealth is an individual pursuit. The Democrat Party is the party of big government, not the party of individualism. Democrats like to play up how much more money the rich have than the poor because it forms a basis for their drive to redistribute that wealth by taxing the rich more and more to pay for vote-buying government programs for the poor, poor pitiful poor.

One thing you will never .. and I mean NEVER ... see in a leftist-inspired piece on the gap between the evil rich and the sainted poor is the fact that there is a great deal of mobility between these groups. Every single year people who were once listed as poor move into the realm of the rich, while those once-rich find themselves scratching to pay the bills. In other words, the opportunities to become rich are out there, and people take advantage of those opportunities every day. The opportunities to make poor choices are also out there, and that's one reason why people slip into the lower income brackets. Thus it has always been, and thus it shall always be.

No more muslims in this country...period!

In the GOP debate last week, one of the questions to a candidate was, "How do we get the majority of the world's Muslims to recognize that our campaign isn't against Islam." These cretins (those framing and asking such inane questions) will get us all slaughtered.

Yep!! The way they ask the question it's almost impossible to point out this fact you mention.

The question should be answered such: "WHY do we care what they think about us? And what do we do to protect ourselves from them since we know what they think about us?"

Execute them at sunrise tommorrow!

Albanian Albanians, as distinct from Kosovo Albanians (and there are some differences), are the least enthusiastic adherents of Islam of all the nominally Islamic people in the world. In fact, anyone who knows anything about Albania knows that Albanians have never taken Islam seriously. Albania's national hero, Skanderberg, was a Roman Catholic who fought against the Ottoman domination of Albanian lands. Albania's late Marxist dictator Enver Hoxha (whose surname means Haj man or holy man) outlawed Islam in 1967 when Albania was declared the world's first offical atheistic state. All mosques were closed down or were used for other purposes. The koran was banned, and possession of one was punishable by decades of hard labour, or worse. Pretty Draconian stuff, and not very pleasant, but this could not have been enforced if Albanians really did have a deep affinity with Islam and the concept of martyrdom.

Not all Albanians should be tarred with the same brush as these mad Kosovo jihadis. Do not listen to the barely concealed racism of at least one Serbian poster here. The overwhelming majority of Albanian Albanians are more pro-American than most European populations, and are our friends in the struggle against extremist Islam.

Incidentally, if you fly to Albania you will land at "Mother Theresa" International Airport in Tirana.

"Not all Albanians should be tarred with the same brush as these mad Kosovo jihadis."
Sounds like: Not all muslims are like bin laden. Man, you watch bbc too much.
"Do not listen to the barely concealed racism of at least one Serbian poster here."
Racism of Serbs allowed many other nonserbs free life in rest of Serbia, while your dear albanians expell everything nonalbanian from both albania and kosovo over their belif of ancient ilyrian roots.
"The overwhelming majority of Albanian Albanians are more pro-American than most European populations, and are our friends in the struggle against extremist Islam."
Aaah, thats the catch. So being proamerican gives you licence to kill, rape, torture, plunder and do the all other jihad beutis over some inferior slavs on balkans. Funny how those damn Serbs never attack any american, not even during 1999 bombing. And its even more funny how among these proamerican albanians always lurke some jihadist like these.

It is all well known for a long long time...

The Northumbrian,huh.
Now my father was a Geordie from Newcastle Upon Tyne in the U.K. Originally Northumbria was Inhabited by North Angles,Anglo Saxons,Danes,etc
no one called bloody Mohammed. Certainly my father didn't fight in WW2 to see his native land
infested with the Death Cult of Islam and its Followers.
Your choice of 'The Northumbrian' is offensive
to me. Please use a different name instead of tarring REAL NORTHUMBRIANS with your scumbag
lying Taqiyya.

Morgane, I've re-read your post several times and am truly mystified by it. What the hell are you talking about with comments like "your scumbag lying Taqiya"? Are you insane? Do you think I am an Islamist or some apologist for Islam? Did you read my post? Did you understand my post? I have been posting here for several months, and am resolute in my hatred of jihad; that's why I post on jihadwatch.

I am a real Northumbrian, and certainly don't want to see my country infested with an Islamist death cult either. Your comments really are quite offensive to me, calling me a scumbag. That type of comment is more suited to a hate site, not to jihadwatch. Go back and re-read my post, and tell me precisely which bits are untrue or have inspired your "taqiya scumbag" outburst. In a nutshell, Morgane, I was saying that Albanians on the whole have never really taken Islam seriously.

As for the other two Serb posters who try to conflate the issue of race hatred for Albanians with the struggle against jihadism, I am not willing to waste my time on you.

"Race hatred"!?

Are you nuts?

Who is planning to kill US soldiers here? Serbs didn't attack a single US citizen even during NATO bombing and killing of our innocent civilians. Race hatred is somewhere else, but your hatred against Serbs has blinded your eyes...

As for the other two Serb posters who try to conflate the issue of race hatred for Albanians with the struggle against jihadism, I am not willing to waste my time on you.
Northumbrian

Beautifull. Now put your monocle back on the nose.

50 years of communism may have strayed Kosovo Albanians from doctrinaire islam but the mentality and methods are right there. Conquest through demography, victimhood, falsification of history, sense of supremacy, intolerance of others...

The 'N'
quote "I AM A REAL NORTHUMBRIAN,AND CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO SEE MY COUNTRY INFESTED WITH AN ISLAMIST DEATH CULT EITHER."

But it is perfectly OKAY to allow Albanians Muslims to infest & destroy Serbia!!
In the beginning of 20th Century SERBS WERE THE MAJORITY IN KOSOVO.
As for your assertions that 'Albanians are mostly Peaceful' is a load of rubbish-you are either a fool or Islamist Apologist like those other nuts such as Yvonne Ridley or Karen Armstrong.
Only things Albanians have contributed is a massive birthrate,massive crime rate-there was a special squad formed in Britain to deal with Albanian crime-don't you even bother to look what's going on in your own country??Who do you
think is doing most of sex trafficking of brutalised,raped & beaten young girls[sometimes killed] from Eastern Europe into Britain. Albanian pimps & whoremasters,that's who,driving
around in luxury cars with stacks of cash from
every illegal & despicable racket known.Even ordinary gangsters are terrified of them as their
atrocities to 'muscle in on new turf' are well known also documented by British police. Go,read them.
Please do not insult Serb JWatchers.Take your 'blinkers' off 'The N' and look around you-won't take too long before places in Britain will
resemble Kosovo but by then it will be too late for you to understand the Serbs. Let's face it,they know what WAR IS-all you know is warbling
about how wonderful Albanians are-why are you going to fight Islam with"Say old chaps,I'm really on your side & please respect my Human Rights" or will it be "I've got a toasting fork so don't come near me.."
Re:RACIST.There is nothing wrong with people defending their own land-it's called SURVIVAL.
You & rest of Brits better learn it-FAST.

To 'The N"
Let's see you write first verse of 'The Blaydon Races' on JWatch-not too difficult-if you are a
'Northumbrian' as you claim to be...

I TOLD YOU SO AMERICANS!!!!!!!

GO NOW AND PUSH LITTLE MORE FOR THE INDEPENDANCE OF YOUR FRIENDS IN KOSOVO!!!!!

Sorry, but I couldn't help myself.

Hunderts had warned about alliance with Albanians. Historians, analists, honest people from the region... Is blood of US people really needed on their hands before White House and State Department act preemptively?!?!?!?

Clinton&Co. are saing non stop that business in Balkans isn't finished. They're right.

I hope that Bush will finish it.


Statement from American-Albanian Council Condemning Attack

[Would the SErgbs have had such integrity just once.]

National Albanian American Council Strongly Condemns the Planned Attack on Fort Dix Army Base in New Jersey

WASHINGTON, May 8 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The National Albanian

American Council (NAAC) issued the following statement.

The National Albanian American Council (NAAC) strongly condemns the planned attack on Fort Dix Army Base by a group of people who reportedly
plotted to attack the base, and we congratulate the law enforcement authorities for their swift apprehension of the conspirators, thereby preventing a possible tragedy. While details are still being released, it was reported that these individuals, who plotted the attack on Fort Dix
Army Base, included persons with "radical jihadist views" with national origins from Turkey, Jordan, and Macedonia.
"As Albanians, we have lost brethren in the World Trade Center in the 9/11 Tragedy and fought willingly beside US troops in Afghanistan and Iraq
during the US-led war on terror, suffering significant casualties. We are particularly sensitive about the actions of these individuals, some of whom seem to originate from the Balkans, as others with unsavory political motives may attempt to ascribe these actions to Albanians but, as Albanians, we remain the most pro-American people in the world," NAAC Executive Director Avni Mustafaj said in an official statement. "As a
people, Albanians have significant percentages of our population worshiping all of the major faiths of the world and have never suffered from religious strife among our people. In fact, we have been a role model in Europe and, even represented the only nation in Europe that saved 100 percent of its people of Jewish faith during World War II. Furthermore, we provided safe
haven for all the Jews that fled the Holocaust to Albania. We aspire to have Albania join NATO in the coming year and are working with the US and
other democratic Western nations to establish an independent Kosova which will be a global role model for religious and ethnic tolerance."
Mr. Mustafaj further stated that, "Fort Dix is a uniquely special place for Albanians for this is where refugees who fled ethnic cleansing from
Kosova into Macedonian refugee camps were brought to the US. The refugees were registered and provided numerous services and assistance to begin
their new life in America. We are all relieved that this tragedy was avoided and ask that those who sought to harm innocent American service men
and women be brought to justice immediately."
American and Albanian relations mark the 85th Anniversary this year and the relations between our two nations have never been stronger. In fact,
this coming June President George W. Bush will be making an historic visit to Albania in support of Albania's bid to join NATO. Thousands of Albanian
Americans have and continue to proudly serve in the US military, and soldiers from Albania serve side-by-side with US soldiers in Iraq,
Afghanistan and in numerous other locations.
"We, as the people who gave the world their greatest symbol of peace, Mother Teresa, hope to continue her life's work as a people and contribute to eliminating religious hatred from the world and promoting peaceful coexistence among all people," added Mr. Mustafaj.
The National Albanian American Council is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to advocating for Albanians and promoting peace and economic development in the Balkans by fostering democratic policy, promoting respect for human rights, and conducting educational and developmental programs.

Morgaane Sin

Ah, finally. Nosferatu is back. I was just wondering what was your face look like when you heared the news. Oh yea:
'Would the SErgbs {typpo mistake, you are groving ollder} have had such integrity just once'
No we want, cos we never attack any american. Even more, we saved hundreds of them (but that was some long gone war).

ROFL. Wery knowledge that you are in pain over your albanian cherryes showing the face of their true nature makes a big smile over my face.

THE TRUTH IS MARCHING ON, Ms. Sinclair!!!!

Your lies are transparent now!!!

Morgaan Sinclair
Your Typo error has already been remarked upon.
'[would the Serbs have had such integrity,just once]'
Pardon me,Dearie. WHEN HAVE THE SERBS EVER ATTACKED AMERICANS? PLEASE FIND AN EXAMPLE OF THIS.
Am glad you brought up Integrity of Kosovo Albanians.
1]Kosovar Albanian were NAZI ALLIES & willing killers 'ethnically cleansing' Serbs from Kosovo
before term became fashionable.
2]Did they or did they not massacre Serbs,Jews and Roma during WW2?
3]Did not the attacks,torture & killings of Serb civilians by Kosovar Albanians occur before retaliation by Serbs during 1990's?
4]Do Kosovar Albanians control the Drugs Trade,people trafficking,brutal abduction,rape,beatings[sometimes death]of Eastern European girls to be sold as sex slaves
to rest of Europe & Middle East-from Kosovo?U.N,
N.G.O's admit they do-there is numerous documentation about Albanian Criminals.
Now I & rest of JWatchers don't want pages of hysterical crap-yes or no will suffice to these
simple questions.

Lies can't last forever.

Btw, that is nice statement Mograan. They can write another thousand for your copy/paste business, but acts speak better than words:

http://www.kosovo.net/default2.html

The overwhelming majority of Albanian Albanians are more pro-American than most European populations, and are our friends in the struggle against extremist Islam.

This is such a canard it is incredible. Only people who have not been to these places ever spout such drivel.

The Albanians of Albania and of Kosovo are on the road to creating religiously pure states.

Poverty stricken people, or people wishing to use us to finalize ethnic cleansing spouting love for us as part of it, are NOT "pro-American".

It is time for people who toss around the terms "anti-American and "pro-American" to stop fudging.

Pro-American is sharing American values. Anti-American is having values that are antithetical to democratic pluralisms.

Democratic pluralism is NOT satisfied by giving equal or dominant wight to closed, exclusive and intolerant religious views.

Do the French make fun of us, and us of them? yes. Does their snarky press, right or wrong (broadly wrong) spout off? yes. But that is not anti-American.

I was in Bulgaria recently for five months. That place is touted as pro-American. Everyone loves America there. But spend some time and the why of it comes up -- and it is not what you have been led to believe. They were fantastically pro soviet at a deep and popular level too.

Here goes again Ms. Sinclair with her problems with Serbs.

Ms. Sinclair, Serbs are not issue here. Serbs have NEVER attacked US anywhere in the world not to say on US soil, even when they were in war with US. US have already helped poor muslims in Balkans against Serbs, and today US is harvesting fruits of that "human rights" endevour. We're here discusing ALBANIAN MUSLIM JIHADISTS trying to make kill on US soil. Weird way to thank the savior...

Some of us, Ms. Sinclair, have been warning that MUSLIM ALBANIAN JIHADISTS atack against Western interests is only a matter of time.

If, Ms. Sinclair, MUSLIM ALBANIAN JIHADISTS reached N.J., what do you think of the strenght of their JIHADIST organisation in Kosovo? And what threat does it poses for Christians in the region?

My dear JWatchers, let us raise our voice against ALBANIAN JIHAD. Let us finaly say the truth, let us admit the mistake and help our traditional longstanding ally, Christian
Serbia, against this pest. Let us raise the voise against betrayal of our own values in the Balkans. Let us not help the only European native jihadists, the Albanians.

No one can fight ALBANIAN AND BOSNIAN JIHAD like Serbs, and other Balkan Christian nations, like Bulgars, Greeks, and even Romanians, Hungarians and Croats, they have proven that troughout the history, sometimes even with us, the West, helping the wrong side in Balkans.

Now there's an example that should be followed.
Unfortunately, most of the commenters on this site hate 'Marxists' far more than they hate Jihadists. (The Jihad is a threat to all of us, but JW rarely goes beyond being a narrow conservative debating club.)

4 of the terrorist plotters where kosovan albanians and this event came at a time when america is trying to help albanians steal kosovo from serbs

maybe God is trying to tell America something

i think the fbi should drop picking on those poor muslims (cause islam is a relegion of peace) and put that copy-place biggot in jail for... hatecrimes against muslims or something like that

"Bob", you're not very funny. I am certain you can't be this dumb. But then again you ARE a moslem so all bets are off.

shmuckl.. I knew I didn't like you. If you have a problem with JW then why are you here?

I totally disagree with your thesis that this is a narrow conservative debating club.

There are a range of opinions here. Justy when it comes to jihad most of us - except the intolerable morgaaaaan - are on the same page.

Concern re. jihad is why we are here after all.

UI resent your undue and facile characterizations buyt then what else should one expect from a liberal?

And no - hating liberals doth not a conservative make!

The Albanian moslem apologist morgaaaaan rears her head once again.. The guy's name gives away his religion, lady!

Give it a rest. You are convincing noone.

We stand behind the Serbs now that we all have learned the truth about islam these last few years.

We now know what's been troubling the Balkans all these years. It was islam.

I wonder if World War 1 might have been avoided had the Balkans not had an islamic element.

Why the hell do I have to prove to a nutjob like you that I am a Geordie (which I am)? Of course I know the words to the Blaydon races, but how on earth does presenting them here prove that? I could just have easily googled and pasted them. So, leave me alone whilst I eat my stottie and drink my nookie brown.

As for my two Serb "friends", try to remember that we are talking here, or should be talking here, about fighting international jihad and Islamic extremism. Making racist generalizations about an entire nation (i.e. Albanians) is fascist and puts you on the same moral level as the islamofascists. Keep your innate petty Balkan prejudices to yourselves.
