“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 Iraq and have since returned home.” They shouldn’t be allowed to return home. Their going and joining such groups should be considered an act of treason, as those groups are at war with the Balkans and everywhere else.
“Islamic State plotting to infiltrate, destabilize Balkans, intelligence suggests,” by John Solomon, Washington Times, November 5, 2015:
As Croatian voters go to the polls Sunday to potentially unseat remnants of the country’s communist past, there is growing intelligence that the Islamic State may be setting its eye on infiltrating and destabilizing the 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 Iraq and have since returned home.
“We have identified a possible Islamic State leader for the region and are monitoring the jihadist fighters returning to the Balkans, and there is much to be concerned about,” said the official, who spoke only on the condition of anonymity because he was discussing sensitive intelligence.
The concerns have been exacerbated by the refugee crisis sweeping Europe, which has security officials in the Balkans worried that an Islamic State sleeper cell could slip into the region disguised as Syrian refugees seeking asylum.
The official noted that a video that surfaced in June from the propaganda arm of the Islamic State showcased numerous Balkan fighters in Syria and threatened jihad in the Balkans.
The video made reference to the U.S.-led war against Serbia in 1990s and urged Islamists in the Balkans to join the fight in Syria or to wage attacks on their home soil. “Plant bombs under cars, explode houses, poison them, kill them everywhere,” a fighter in the tape declared, according to a rough English translation.
With a large Muslim population and a weak economy that leaves young, poor men vulnerable to radicalization, the Balkans region is experiencing growing fears that terrorism may be breeding among its civilian population.
“The threat is real, and the region is a potential tinderbox for radicalization,” the Balkan diplomatic official said….

Linde Barrera says
I hope the coalition forces don’t just pound ISIS, but destroy ISIS in the Balkans. ISIS wants to meet their god –Satan– so there is no time to waste.ISIS is comprised of vile, evil, wretched and disgustingly filthy demonic creatures. Yet, I pray for all Muslims to be converted to Christ.
Joseph says
I pray for that too Linde but you know as well as I do that the human heart is dark and vile. People often say that if Jesus Christ is love then why would he send someone to hell? Jesus does not send anyone to hell, it is man of his own free will that chooses to go there. When a Muslim hears about the truth of Jesus yet still embraces Islam he/she has made a choice, a very terrible choice.
EYESOPEN says
True, Joseph. True.
Lia Wissing says
I also pray for muslims to find G-d. I pray especially for the women & children, who are illiterate, have no books anyway & are delivered over to the satanic preaching of imams.
Alex says
Oh please. You sound only a bit better (?) than the Islamic nuts you’re attacking. You’re feeding the anti-Christian lefties who are just too happy to use people like you as an example of what’s wrong with some conservatives.
Joseph says
How am I a bit better? I am not forcing “Christianity or death” I am only stating the obvious.
If you care what the left thinks of you because of your viewpoint then I would say that you recheck your values and what they mean to you. You sound as if you would change your opinion just because some liberal was uncomfortable with it.
What is your beef with Christians anyway? Why beat around the bush, just come out and say what you think or do you have to check with a liberal first to make sure what you say isn’t offensive?
I don’t care what you say, I am a Christian and I will proudly be this way till the day I die. They can only kill me once, it is the second death that everyone should fear.

@Alex
“Oh please. You sound only a bit better (?) than the Islamic nuts you’re attacking.”
Really Alex?
You, Alex, are an example of the Christian hating mob that divides our coalition of freedom loving people who TOGETHER are fighting “The most retrograde force known to mankind.”
“You’re feeding the anti-Christian lefties who are just too happy to use people like you as an example of what’s wrong with some conservatives.”
Look in the mirror Alex.
A Muslim that converts to Christianity is no longer an enemy. Christians who seek to accomplish this feat should be encouraged.
You know this, or should know it.
Joseph says
Thanks DG, you took an angle I didn’t think of. Too close to the trees to see the forest I guess.
Hope all is well and that it will only get better

How, faced with the sanguinary horror of Islam, can you claim that Christians are “only a bit better (?) than the Islamic nuts”?
No one has to believe in the Christian view of heaven and hell–and more important, Christians are not oppressing and murdering in its name.
They want you to be saved–and you can politely decline, without fear of coercion or violence.
They might tell you they’re going to pray for you–and if you consider this much the same as enslavement or slaughter, then you have no moral sense–or sense of proportion or sanity–at all.
Shane says
Muslims are not going to convert to Christianity; they are going to try to force us to convert to Islam or kill us; that is what Muhammad told them to do to infidels. The only way to deal with Islam is with an iron fist. It is suicidal for any Western nation to allow large numbers of Muslim immigrants.
Joseph says
Shane many Muslims do convert, sadly not enough. Please don’t underestimate the power of the HOLY SPIRIT. Man delivers the Gospel and the Holy Spirit does the real work.
Joseph says
I love the Croats they are a beautiful, friendly and generous people. The way that their economy is right now, this is something they definitely don’t need to happen right now.
Enragedsince1999 says
The Croats murdered Serb Christians in an alliance with the Bosnian Muslims and jihadis from all over the world. The Nazi Croat Zdravko Mucic ran the rape-torture murder camp for Serb civilians in Celebici, Bosnia together with Bosnian Muslims. Brothers forced to have sex with each other, fathers with their daughters, under the threat of horrible torture, then horribly tortured and murdered anyway. The Nazi Croats had finished their job on the much – suffered Serb communities of Dalmatia, Krajina, Kozara, East Slavonia and West Slavonia , which they started during WWII. Even a high-ranking officer of the Nazi German SS ( SS ! ! ! ) in his report to his superiors in Berlin called the mass torture- murders of Serb civilians by the Croats “bestial” (!). And the Italian Fascist Army actually lined-up and shot Nazi Croats, their allies, for the mass torture-murders of Serb, Jewish and Gypsy civilians.

Peggy says
Croatian Ustashi in WWII were so evil that even the Germans were horrified at what they did.
Did you know that the only concentration camp for children was in Croatia and it was run by nuns?
Yes, Croatian clergy participated in the horrors. This is something not many people know because we only learned about Jewish genocide during WWIi but Croatians had their own going.
Imagine the horror that they were the only ones who had a concentration camp just for children and had it run by nuns. You can’t do worse than that.
Please read this.

Maybe Joseph who is obviously of Croatian background isn’t even aware of all this. I am quite sure his family would want to keep something like this hidden.
Joseph says
No I am not a Croat.
My extended family suffered greatly under the Germans and Russians.
Do I hate them…..NO
Can I understand…….Yes
Being forever pissed solves for me nothing and to those who are children and grandchildren of the perpetrators my being pissed at them does no good.
I have Serbian, Croatian, Polish, German and Russian friends. To be at each others throats would make for a shitty life.
I am not excusing what was done in the past it is what WILL be done in the future that worries me.
On the flip side and MUCH MUCH closer to the flesh on my bones is that I also have Vietnamese friends. You would think that this should be difficult for me but it is not.
To hold a grudge like that only damages one person….me!

======================
Joseph, I wasn’t talking about holding a grudge but being accurate.
You say that Croatians are good people. Yes some but many not as you can see from the link I sent you. Even their clergy participated in horrors.
Now during the 90s when civil was was raging in the former Yugoslavia, Croatians showed themselves again what “good people” they are by committing genocide on the Serbs again. You won’t find any MSM reporting it and the Canadian battallion stationed in Medek Pocket was told not to talk about it but eventually they have talked about it. The nameof the Canadian battalion was Princess Patricia batallion and they saw what Croatians are capable of.
So it’s not a matter of holding grudges but a matter of being accurate when you try to portray some people as a whole.
Joseph says
Peggy,
Fair enough, and by that I mean your comments are fair.
If you talk to some Croats you will get a different story, like the murder of Croat neighbors in Serb controlled neighborhoods and just the opposite in Croat neighborhoods. The war was bad on both sides.

Islamic State plotting to infiltrate, destabilize Balkans
………………………,
This should come as no surprise. Pious Muslims, of course, believe that the whole world “belongs to Allah”, but what they hate most is when Infidels dare to take their lands back. The Balkans used to be under the Muslim heel, just like Spain, before they were driven out by the native Infidels. And they still have a disturbing toe hold there in Albania and the newly-created Kosovo.
Here’s Erdogan, claiming the Balkans still belong to Islam
“Turkish PM Erdogan: Territories of Balkan countries belong to Turkey”
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2013/12/turkish-pm-erdogan-territories-of-balkan-countries-belong-to-turkey
Davegreybeard says
Thank you for that graven, I had missed that little communication from Erdogan.
Seems he is dismantling all the protections against Islam that Attaturk so carefully put in place.
There is very little discussion of Attaturk in the counter-jihad and I think this is a mistake.
He, a former Muslim, understood full well the dangers of Islam and considered it incompatible with a modern society. As he said:
“This is Islam, an absurd theology of an immoral Bedouin, a rotting corpse which poisons our lives.”
EYESOPEN says
How right he was Dave.
gravenimage says
All true, Dave.
And yet, while there is no doubt that Atatürk did a great deal of good in beating back Islam in Turkey as much as he did, it is noteworthy that he allowed the most horrific aspect of Islam–violent Jihad against the unbelievers–to continue unopposed under his watch.
The Armenian Genocide–which, really, targeted *all* non-Muslims in Turkey and the Ottoman Empire, including Greek, Assyrian, and Levantine Christians as well as Jews–was allowed to continue, and did not end until after the terrible destruction of Smyrna.
Later he tried to blame it all on the “Young Turks”–mostly so he could root out the remnants of his rivals–but the fact is that the Armenian Genocide continued in waves from the last years of the Ottoman Empire in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, to the Young Turks in the oughts and teens, to his own stint as prime minister. He did nothing to stop the carnage during the last years of the genocide.
Turkey’s rulers kept changing during these years–but the slaughter of the “filthy Infidels” never did.
In fact, here’s a historian specifically positing the liquidation of non-Muslims as part of the goal of “modernizing”:
“The first implementation of the CUP regime’s goal of creating a homogeneous nation was the elimination of the Armenians from Anatolia in 1915…It was a prerequisite for homogenisation in the name of modernisation that both internal and external conditions served to justify their policies under the rhetoric of state security and interests.”
–Ayla Gul, “Imagining the Turkish nation through ‘othering’ Armenians in Nations and Nationalism”
By the time Atatürk embarked on his “Westernization” campaign in the mid-1920s, it was in a Turkey that had become almost “Infidel-rein”.
Mazo says
Cravenmirage, Jews were never targeted in the Armenian Genocide. Turks committed genocide against Christians and not Jews. Jews are historic allies of the Turks.
You spew shyte from your mouth as easily as saliva.

Mazo stop the crap. Muslims are mortal enemies to the Jews. Just because Turks killed Christians as well doesn’t mean that they are allies with Jews.
Maybe the shyte is coming from your mouth.
Charli Main says
NATO will be fuelling the planes and loading the bombs, ready to reduce Serbia to rubble, like they did last time the Serbs tried to defended themselves from rampaging Muslim rapists and murderers attacking their ancestral homelands. A few fake pictures of dead children and howling Muslim women should do the trick.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Remember all those news reports about mass graves containing the corpses of a quarter million Moslems? The world was shocked, stunned, horrified, had to do something, anything. So we bombed the hell out of Belgrade, that was something. Turns out they dug up a measly 10,000, or that’s what the usual suspect UN officials claimed, and that number was openly derided as a wild exaggeration. But by then Slobodan Milosevic was in a grave of his own, and the news narrative peddlers had moved on to greener narrative pastures, so everybody came out it OK. Well, except for Slobodan and all those men, women and children who were killed or maimed by the U.S. Air Force back then.
Peggy says
Milosevic conveniently died in prison before the verdict.
There are more Serbs rotting in Hague while Muslim and Croatian guilty of real crimes have been found not guilty.
Injustice is still being done to the Serbs. Albanian organ harvesting from Serbs has not been investigated properly and what evidence was found was destroyed. Carla Del Ponte is admitting to all that now. I always say, it’s easy to tell the truth once you are not in the job any more.
Camp Bondsteel is still in Kosovo making sure that Kosovo remains under Albanian (sorry US) control. The fact that there is great wealth under that ground is irrelevant I suspect. For now they are doing a huge trade with Afghanistan using Kosovo as the base.
US has nothing to lose on this one. If they can’t control the rabid Muslims any longer, they will move along and let Serbs clean up.
Christianblood says
Charli Main:
Very well-said indeed Charli Main! And the US/Nato will also (very likely) carve out a third islamic country for the muslim minorities there after Kosovo and Bosnia.
RonaldB says
The NATO bombing of Serbia is an example of what is actually the biggest problem of the West: we do the fighting of the Muslims for them. It was President (Bill) Clinton and NATO who bombed the Serbs into submission when they were fighting the Muslim and Croat militias.
I think the prospect most to be feared is that central authorities in Europe, especially the European Union bureaucracy, will throw whatever forces they can muster into any fight against the Muslim invaders. It is conceivable they would formally invite US forces in, to “stabilize” the situation. An Obama, Clinton, or Bush administration would obviously respond positively to such a call.
Ex-muslim says
RonaldB
What do you think Nato will do if the Balkan jihadists start violent jihad against the Serbs there?
Peggy says
Bill, Hillary, Madeline and Wesley must be very pleased with themselves.
Job well done.
Now Maddy Albright want to get on on the rewards. She wanted to buy assets in Kosovo. Serbia is willing to take anyone to court who wants to purchase assets in Kosovo without their approval because Kosovo is still a part of Serbia. I think Maddy is rethinking her investment now.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Well, I’d suggest that the Pentagon send in our allies the Syrian Freedom Fighters, but they’d only go to murdering the Christians and secular progressives living up there. Maybe we can do what Prez Bill did and send in some B2 bombers to attack Belgrade. Yeah, I know that’s not in Kosovo or Bosnia, but it’s close, and fighting the War On “Terrorism” is like playing a game of horseshoes. Next Prez Hillary would support it.
Walter Sieruk says
That’s about all the vicious, cruel and murderous jihadist thugs who compose the brutal and deadly jihad entity ISIS can do and know how to do. Which is scheme to infiltrate, destabilize as well as activity engage in the malicious and callous behavior of murdering, maiming, and destroying. The ISIS villains in their heinous and hideous jihad are the products or fruit of Islam. As the”holy book” of this death cult instructs in. As in for example , 9:5,111,47.4. Nevertheless there are still are some people who a yet in denial and the violent and deadly essence of Islam.as so blindly and ignorantly have the gall, in spite of all the facts of reality and call Islam “peaceful religion.” Those people,very much, need a reality check and to become aware of the truth about that religion.
Angemon says

You’re welcome Joseph.
As you know I am not a Christian and I have no use for grand prophecies from the past.
But to a few close friends I will admit that I sometimes indulge in a secret X rated fantasy that involves a militant, proselytizing Christian army “saving” Muslims from themselves – and us.
Sadly, such an army is only a dream at the moment – and a dream indulged in by only a very few.
Hope all is well with you and yours.
TheBuffster says
My husband and I and a bunch of our atheist friends think converting Muslims to Christianity is seriously to be prayed for. There are many people in this world who will *never* be suited to atheism or agnosticism. As long as they believe in individual liberty as recognized by the US Constitution, that’s all I need from them.
Go Christians!

Raju G. C. Thomas, Ph.D, says
The invasion and rise of Asian and African Muslims into Europe is a dangerous and destabilizing factor. Islam is basically an intolerant religion, and most Muslims are mentally prejudiced against non-Muslims even if they do not overtly display their prejudice in public most of the time. The Muslim population invasion of Europe is undermining European civilization as mosques are being built in several locations and Islamic prayers are held for masses of Muslims in public affecting European culture and life style. Muslims do not fit into European civilization in appearance and culture.
