Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

When the free world joined the jihad

May 18, 2009 5:43 am By Robert Spencer

Islam is the only religion with a functioning propaganda machine. Besides whitewashing history for present-day political purposes, Islamic spokesmen have carried out two extraordinarily successful propaganda offenses aimed at demonizing two of the foremost modern-day victims of jihad: the Israelis and the Serbs. The idea that Israel committed genocide in Gaza and the idea that Serbia committed genocide against Muslims in the Balkans are two manifestations of the same disinformation campaign. And while some people are waking up to the Palestinian propaganda offensive, many of them are still engulfed by the fog when it comes to the Serbs. But here Julia Gorin pierces through that fog.

“The Hoax that Continues a War,” by Julia Gorin at Republican Riot, May 17 (thanks to Pamela):

We are still in the midst of the 10-year anniversary of our NATO attack on Serbia on behalf of bin Laden-trained/financed KLA terrorists, to help steal Serbian land because Albanians reached a majority in part of that country. The 1999 bombing lasted from March 24 to June 10, a symbolic and historic day for Albanian supremacism.

If Americans deign to recall, the “trigger” event that was used to touch off the NATO assault (which was already being planned for a year at that point), was something called “the Racak Massacre.” Following is my account “” written for a compilation of essays titled “Kosovo: The Score” “” of the American-staged atrocity that led the free world to join the jihad:

Perhaps nothing is more Albanian than commemorating a massacre by Serbs even after the Albanians commemorating it admitted to having staged the massacre. Sometimes there is even a double punch line, as in January when Kosovo Albanians honored the American who avenged the massacre that didn’t happen.

On January 15th, the tenth anniversary of “the Racak massacre” “” disproved as such even in mainstream media such as the Toronto Sun “” Kosovo “prime minister” Hashim Thaci and “president” Fatmir Sejdiu awarded the “Gold Medal of Humanity” to William Walker, head of the Kosovo Verifying Mission that ensured a NATO intervention on behalf of Walker’s KLA friends and masters in 1999. (The ceremony, “dedicated to the martyrs of the Racak massacre,” was reported by the KosovaLive news agency: “Kosovo leaders vow at Racak massacre memorial never to forget Serbian crimes.”) There couldn’t have been a better comedy roast for the year 2009, the tenth anniversary of NATO”s war against Yugoslavia “” launched by a staged atrocity in the town of Racak.

This comes nine years after Thaci himself admitted the Racak ploy the very year following its success. Canadian Major General Lewis MacKenzie, former UN Protection Force commander in Bosnia, cited the admission in an April 2008 statement to the Lord Byron Foundation:

The current Prime Minister Hashim Thaci was the leader of the KLA. He has admitted that the KLA orchestrated the infamous Racak “massacre” dressing their KLA dead in civilian clothes, machine gunning them and dumping them in a ditch and claiming it was a Serbian slaughter of civilians. NATO bought into the ruse and on its 50th birthday looking for a role in the post cold war world the alliance became the KLA”s air force and bombed a sovereign nation from the safety of 10,000 ft.

In addition to telling BBC in January 1999, “We had a key unit in the region. It was a fierce battle. We regrettably had many victims. But so did the Serbs,” Thaci boasted more recklessly in February of 2000 to a roomful of foreign correspondents. But most of them dutifully kept a lid on the most sensational story of the decade, leaving only Russian National Radio to report it. From a translated summary:

Pristina, March 7th – Leader of the Albanian terrorists in Kosmet [Kosovo-Metohija], Hashim Tachi, told recently foreign reporters, quoted by the Voice of Russia, about the methods of demonizing Serbs, i.e. how his terrorist KLA committed crimes in order to urgently provoke western military intervention in Yugoslavia”¦According to the foreign media reports, quoted by the Russian radio, obviously “carried away”, Tachi mentioned the well known incident in the village of Racak”¦.Tachi revealed a public secret and confessed that the KLA members committed the murder of four Serbian policemen in Racak.

“¦Indeed, a police action followed, but it was no punitive expedition of Serb special forces against Albanian farmers, but a legitimate operation against the Albanian extremists, who made their stronghold in Racak”¦.[A]n independent international expertise followed, and the OSCE experts from Byelorussia and Finland, established that the bodies belonged to the KLA extremists. In spite of this, NATO and the leading western countries blamed Belgrade for the killing of the so-called Albanian farmers from Racak. That was the first in a series of accusations in an already worked out scenario for deceiving the international public, i.e. preparing the field for the NATO aggression on Yugoslavia, stressed the radio.

There is much more. Read it all.
