Conrad73: well,ain't THIS interesting?

MADDOG69: Yugoslavia and Albania used to be a regular secular country. Albanians and Bosniaks were relatively secular. With Gulf money and radicalism since the 90's Kosovo, Albania and Bosnia now have a major problem on their hands. I'm told if you go off the beaten track in Bosnia you'll now find villages where the men wear long beards, when they never did before. Kosovo is a breeding ground for terrorists.... before they were freedom fighters against aggression... and now, the substantial Atheist or Christian Albanian minority are often called 'Greek spies' or some other crap by their once brotherly Muslim Albanian neighbours.



In truth, there have been warnings for some time that Kosovo has become a significant breeding ground for the global jihad. Eyes were opened back in late March, when Blerim Heta blew himself up in Baghdad, killing over fifty people. In some ways, Heta did not fit the normal profile, in that he came from an intact family that was not poor, had no criminal record, and was employed (in fact he worked at Camp Bondsteel, the main U.S. Army base in Kosovo); yet in his sudden and profound radicalization Heta did reflect a depressingly common pattern. He attended sermons by Shefqet Krasniqi, the popular imam at Prishtina’s Grand Mosque, who praised the martyrdom of the first Albanians to die in the Syrian jihad.

Conrad73: getting quite serious in the Balkans again,yet no one is paying much mind to it!
Seems Islam is reclaiming it piece by piece!
