Kosovo and Israel: A Shared Betrayal
I am getting damn tired of Washington propping up Islam, as they continue to do in their push for an independent Kosovo.
Fjordman makes the case for Kosovo remaining with Serbia.
President Bush declared a “war on terror” after the Jihadist attacks on the United States in 2001. Six years later, all he has achieved is bleeding American tax payers financially and American soldiers literally while overseeing the eradication of non-Muslim communities in Iraq. Now his administration supports independence for terrorist-sponsoring Muslims in the Balkans and in the Palestinian territories. Unless he does something very substantial in 2008, George W. Bush risks being remembered as one of the worst presidents in American history.
The more I read, the less I buy of the official account of the “Balkan wars”. If Serbs “slaughtered” Muslims, it may well be they had sufficient cause. I no more believe the media’s caricature of blood thirsty Serbs than I buy their twisted portrayals of Israel. One does not understand the Balkans unless one takes into account the history of oppression that Serbs have long suffered under Muslim rule.
As Hugh Fitzgerald says, “One must keep in mind both the way in which some atrocities ascribed to Serbs were exaggerated, while the atrocities inflicted on them were minimized or ignored altogether. But what was most disturbing was that there was no context to anything: nothing about the centuries of Muslim rule. Had such a history been discussed early on, Western governments might have understood and attempted to assuage the deep fears evoked by the Bosnian Muslim leader, Izetbegovic, when he wrote that he intended to create a Muslim state in Bosnia and impose the Sharia not merely there, but everywhere that Muslims had once ruled in the Balkans. Had the Western world shown the slightest intelligent sympathy or understanding of what that set off in the imagination of many Serbs (and elsewhere, among the Christians in the Balkans and in Greece), there might never have been such a violent Serbian reaction, and someone like Milosevic might never have obtained power.” Yet, “In all of Europe, only a few French journalists and the Austrian writer Peter Handke tried to explain Serbian fears and Serbian history.”
[...]
Trifkovic cites James Jatras as claiming that Washington’s irrational Balkan policy is to a significant extent the product of the ignorant and misguided notion that the U.S. can curry favor in the Islamic world by sacrificing Kosovo’s Christians to the violent Jihad-terror elements that dominate Kosovo’s Albanian leadership: “Such an unfounded notion shows a breathtaking incomprehension of the worldwide jihadist threat.
I find this particularly disturbing.
Jevtic notes that “the fact that since the arrival of NATO to Kosovo over 150 Christian churches have been destroyed and some 400 mosques have been built, or are under construction, is for the Muslims a proof that if there is a faith which is supported by true God — it is Islam! Because, why would the Christian God, why would Jesus, permit the destruction of churches, where He, Jesus, is glorified? Why would He, at the same time, permit the construction of mosques, where His existence as God is denied? Why would He permit it, moreover, in the presence of men who bear arms and who claim to be Christians?
For secularists, the beliefs of a religious people are laughable. But it is just the left’s disdain for gods that will give Islam it’s advantage. Islamists will indeed believe their”allah” to be triumphant as they watch the west so easily abandon god and treasure without a fight. More so, it gives Islamists appetite to continue dissolving the West as the umma appears ever more likely with every western capitulation.
…writer Julia Gorin has warned, “An independent Kosovo will serve as a nod to secessionists worldwide,” and “history will show what no one cares to understand: the current world war began officially in Yugoslavia.”
Granting Jihadist Muslims independence in Kosovo after they have conducted ethnic cleansing of non-Muslims will establish an extremely dangerous precedent.
But the usual hyenas in our Congress somehow finds the establishment of a Muslim state in Europe cause for celebration. Which Arab pocket is Democrat Tom Lantos in?
The House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Tom Lantos (D-CA) called upon “jihadists of all color and hue” to see Kosovo as “yet another example that the United States leads the way for the creation of a predominantly Muslim country in the very heart of Europe.”
The more I dig into Kosovo, the more I am reminded of Israel.
As with Israel, the current administration has betrayed the West, it’s allies and the American people. Read the entire piece.

The betrayal is now complete.
