Turkish President Erdogan is now seeking to use his growing influence in the Balkans against the Western countries.…the region where he is pursuing more assertive policies and strategically spreading his brand of Islamist nationalism through a network of mosques and religious institutions. Erdogan is using the same method of spreading the Salafist ideology through mosques […]
Islamic State plotting to infiltrate, destabilize Balkans
“A senior diplomatic official from the region tells The Washington Times that Croatian intelligence has identified a possible Islamic State leader who is setting up in Kosovo and Bosnia-Herzegovina and beginning to organize scores of Islamist fighters who left the Balkans to join the Islamic State or al Qaeda’s Nusra Front in war-torn Syria and […]
Islamic State video calls for jihad in Balkans on eve of pope’s visit
No problem. The Pope will just explain to the jihadis how true Islam and the proper understanding of the Qur’an reject every form of violence. Abashed, they will lay down their arms. “Video calls for jihad in Balkans on eve of pope’s visit,” AFP, June 6, 2015: Islamists claiming to be members of the Islamic […]
Islamic State to Muslims in the Balkans: “Either join it here, or kill there”
How did these misunderstanders of Islam get the crazy idea that jihad had something to do with killing? Every Western authority knows that the Islamic State has nothing, nothing whatsoever, to do with Islam, but do any of them ever stop and ponder, even for a moment, why it is that the Islamic State appeals […]
UN officials and the Muslim regime in Sarajevo orchestrated the Srebrenica massacre
Jihadists yet again play clueless and ignorant Westerners for fools. “Srebrenica was an Inside Job” by Andy Wilcoxson in the Balkan Report, June 15: In the wake of the July 1995 fall of the Srebrenica enclave, thousands of Muslim soldiers and draft eligible men were killed or went missing. Some were captured and summarily executed […]
Revealed: Kosovo jihadists really were trafficking in Serb organs
A few years back, when I posted here at Jihad Watch some material from the intrepid Julia Gorin and others showing that the “moderate Muslims” of the Balkans were a bit more jihad-minded than most of the learned analysts had been saying, the calumnies came thick and fast. Internet libel artists, one of whom — […]
Bosnia: Muslims “wanted to draw NATO into war”
Of course, when people point out the activities of jihadists in the Balkans, the Commentary crowd accuses them of supporting the enormities and crimes, real and/or trumped-up, of the local opposition to that jihad. Of course, that accusation neither logically follows nor accords with fact. “Bosnia: Muslims ‘wanted to draw NATO into war,’” from AKI, […]
Jihadists on the rise in Balkans: “Oh Osama, annihilate the American army. Oh Osama, raise the Muslims’ honor.”
A few years back, if you spoke about jihadists in the Balkans, you were an “Islamophobe” who denied the patent reality that all Muslims in the Balkans were moderate, peaceful lovers of America. If you dared say anything about this, you were probably a secret supporter of Milosevic and genocide to boot, beyond the pale […]
“Aiding and abetting Muslim designs in the Balkans, in the hope that this will earn some credit for the United States in the Islamic world, has been a major motive of American policy in the region since at least 1992”
“It has never yielded any dividends, of course, but repeated failure only prompts the architects of the policy to redouble their efforts.” Indeed. And that goes also for Pakistan, and so many, many other venues. “ICJ Ruling: Blow to Serbia, Boon to Tadić & Jeremić,” by Srdja Trifkovic at the Lord Byron Foundation for Balkan […]
Julia Gorin on the Ground Zero mosque and Kosovo: “What we did to Balkans Christianity when we joined the jihad against it on five fronts was the beginning of the end for all of us”
In “Ground Zero Mosque: Americans Get a Taste of Serbdom” at Republican Riot, June 13, Julia Gorin exposes some chickens that are coming home to roost in Kosovo, and that may soon be laying eggs at Ground Zero: Last week I blogged about the radical Islam that, thanks to our interventions in the Balkans, has […]
