Bosnia:Hidden Army Of Radical Islam

Clinton's war. The gift that keeps on giving. That man was wrong on every issue. Watch the Video. MUST SEE. More here at Front Page mag: Radical Islam's Dupes.

The Hidden Army Of Radical Islam Sky News hat tip Aaron

Sky News has obtained evidence of hundreds of radical Islamic Holy warriors hiding in Bosnia, a decade after the end of the war. Tim Marshall went to Zenica in search of answers. He found a growing radicalisation, and a new base for Al Qaeda.

And Jewish Liberals are culpable.

A JEWISH ALBATROSS: THE SERBS Julia Gorin, Front Page magazine

Imagine that a country is fighting domestic terrorism by Muslim militants who are carrying out attacks against police, government officials and citizens in a bid to carve out their own state, hoping to provoke a response from the government that will alarm the international community. Imagine that the world duly intervenes, and a peacekeeping force is sent in, paralyzing the nation’s ability to defend itself, and effectively doing the militants’ bidding even as attacks against the non-Muslim population continue. Finally, imagine the intervening internationals severing this nation’s Jerusalem from it and handing it to the provocateurs.

It sounds like a worst-case scenario for the Israeli people, but it is a fate that actually befell the Serbian people, who this year may lose Kosovo as the deadline approaches for determining the status of the province, where Christian churches, monasteries and homes were burned to the ground in pogroms in March of last year. They will lose Kosovo to Albanian Muslims, whose fates are now entirely in the hands of the international Islamist factions with whom they, and we, cast their lot.

You've got to be kidding. This isn't even a story. Bosnia probably has less radical Islamists than the UK.

Here's a story more indicative of how Balkan Muslims treat radicals in their midst.

You really should read about Balkan cultures, Pamela. You'd learn a thing or two.

[Andromeche]

Oh, and you failed to make mention of the fact that the members of the "hidden army of radical Islam" were almost all foreigners. Out of 1,700 three were Bosniaks. The Bosnian police are doing a lot to catch radicals, the politicians are staunchly against radical Islamism, and the vast majority of Bosnia's Muslim plurality is very secular --probably the most secular Muslim population anywhere. Bosniaks are far too fond of clubs, alchohol, partying, dating, public swimming and trendy clothing to convert to Wahabism in numbers that will make any difference in Bosnian society.

Dear Pamela;
This is why I enjoy reading your blog. I didn't know any of this stuff was going on. Or had went on.
I am a bit embarrassed by my ignorance regarding the Serbs, and the Kosovo war. But thanks to you I have the knowledge that I was lacking.
So thanks a lot.
And I agree with Julia Gorin.
Sincerely;
EJO

Don't worry, EJO, Willy Clinton doesn't know shit about Bosnia either. Monica was supposed to brief him, but they never got down to it.
To think an asshole like Clinton once had the power of America in his hands. What were we thinking ? Let's not let mistakes like that ever happen again.

[wxjames]

Andromench, if you have a point to make better make it eloquently rather than criticize Pamela. In fact, why not thank her for making the forum available ?

The problem with terrorism is that it is not one group but an internetwork that is self-supporting. The Wahabbi hotheads in Bosnia are the *obvious* ones to cite. The less apparent, better integrated and more capable ones are harder because of their ability to blend in. And as the #2 man from Interpol cited in 2000 ( www.globalsecurity.org/security/library/congress/2000_h/001213-mutschke.htm ), the melding between Eastern European organized crime and terrorism is frightening due to the access it gives both to arms and equipment, plus skills and training.

I must admit, the whole Bosnia - Serbia - Kosovo thing is a bit of a confusing, messy mystery to me. I had a feeling the Serbs were getting the shaft, if only because the UN was so confidently shipping all those guys off to the Hague for trials based on I(capital) nternational H(capital)umanifarcical L(capital)aw. But weren't the Serbs the ones shipping the Jews off to the concentration camps? Or was that the Croats? It's so confusing...Ah well, gives the UN something to worry about in between those resolutions on the P(capital)alestinian O(capital)ccupied T(capital)erritories. A lot of bad shit happened, but in the end, it does look like there's a new Islamic power center planted in Europe and a proverbial boatload, soon to be a real boatload, of non-Moslems whose land has been confiscated. Hey, do non-Moslems ever get capitalized letters for their causes?

"This isn't even a story. Bosnia probably has less radical Islamists than the UK."

I'm not one to pick fights on blog boards, but you gotta be kidding. Even the Saudis fear the level of Islamic extremism in the UK and have practically begged the UK govt to do something about the problem. Have you taken a cab from Heathrow into downtown lately, and seen the "death to Jews" graffiti all over the buildings, which the authorities don't even bother to clean anymore because it just reappears the next day? Who do you think is doing that - Mormons?

Being of Croatian decent and my grandmother being born in Bosnia-Hertzogovina this post definately pricked me. I will be linking this one Pam.

"This isn't even a story. Bosnia probably has less radical Islamists than the UK."

Hmmm...would you be willing to bet on that?

From the story I provided the URL for in the first comment.

NOVI PAZAR, Serbia: Security officials in this region of southern Serbia say they have found a base about 30 kilometers north of town that they believe was a training ground for radical Islamists who were planning an attack on members of the local Muslim community.

Four men were arrested in a raid on March 17, and two were arrested three days later in connection with the camp, which consisted of a series of tents hidden under pines on the edge of a plateau, the police said.

The six men all come from Novi Pazar, capital of a region that contains the most Muslims in Serbia proper. The police said they also uncovered weapons, including rocket-propelled grenades, 10 kilos of plastic explosives and automatic assault rifles hidden in a small cave.

The discovery of the camp - which the police said was not well concealed and had been open for only a few weeks - has brought attention to a small community of Muslim fundamentalists in the Balkans, who security officials contended are influenced by and receive financing from charities in Saudi Arabia.

Locals here call them the "Wahhabis," after the fundamentalist form of Islam widely practiced in Saudi Arabia. The radicals first emerged in the region during the 1990s wars in the Balkans. They can be seen most notably in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also in Serbia, Monetenegro and Kosovo. In this town of 90,000 people, the police estimated that about 120 have become followers in the last four to five years.

The movement claims it wants to establish a pure and original form of Islam in the region, as practiced in much of the Arabian Peninsula. That puts it at odds with the traditional Sunni, mainly Turkish influenced version of the faith practiced in the Balkans.

The Serbian Interior Ministry has said the camp - the first found in the country - was evidence that the radicals, who insist they are merely religious activists, are seeking to recruit potential terrorists.

Dragan Jocic, the minister of police, said of the detained men: "I believe they were a cell that by themselves cannot make a decision on who might be the target. The final order would most probably come from somewhere else."

Western diplomats in Serbia, speaking on condition of anonymity, discounted claims of a bigger conspiracy and suggested that any potential plotting could have more to do with tensions between the Wahhabis and the region's more mainstream Islamic community.

On Tuesday, at the request of the Serbian authorities, the police in Kosovo issued an arrest warrant for Ismail Prentic, who they asserted was a member of the group. The Serbs said Prentic may have fled to the United Nations-controlled province. A police spokesman said roadblocks had been erected in the north of Kosovo to help find Prentic, who should considered "armed and dangerous."

Tensions between followers of the group and the mainstream Islamic community have been simmering for 18 months, as the Wahhabis have sought increasing influence.

Visibly identifiable by their ankle length trousers and beards, they have campaigned to do away with what they see as heresy. Those attempts have erupted into violence several times in the last year.

Last April, members of the group disrupted a rock concert in the town center, kicking over loudspeakers. In November, a fight erupted between members of the group and other Muslims at a town center mosque in which 17 people were hurt.

"They want to control this region and make others act and pray the same way as they do," said Muamer Zukorlic, leader of the Islamic community in this region of Sandjak.

In the last three months, Zukorlic said he and some of his colleagues have received five threats from the group. He travels with an escort of several armed bodyguards.

"They aren't real Wahhabis like in Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan," Fehim Sejdovic, a 54-year-old Muslim, said outside a mosque frequented by the group's members. "They don't even cover up their families like over there."

Zukorlic, the mufti, said: "It's important to say that this is a small group. They don't have any significant influence."

The Novi Pazar police suggested that the arrested men had made little effort to hide their activities, driving to and from their camp in daylight through a nearby village. Their target-practice drills could be heard by local villagers, the police said.

"It was pretty naïve," said Nerko Hadzifezovic, a detective who took part in the camp raid. "If you see a group of bearded men driving through your village into the woods each day, someone is going to wonder what's going on." He said villagers tipped off the police.

***

That's right, the Muslim villagers themselves turned the extremists in. Even the village mufti denounced them. Again, Balkan Muslims are secular Europeans (note the comment about the rock concert.) We have nothing to fear from them the Bosniaks or the Albanians. As it is, the only places in the Balkans where there is significant anti-Americanism are Serbia and the Bosnian Serb Republika Srpska.

I was with some of the first units that went deep into Bosnia. We kicked in a lot of doors and found a lot of what we called at the time "Islamic Extremeists". They had boxes of weapons and munitions marked in Arabic and were the most prone to fight back. It doesn't surprise me that Bosnia is once again becoming a base for Jihad. Bosnia is the gateway to Europe from Asia.

The 'playbook' is intact here. Send in enough 'folks' to build a beachhead then through intimidation and fear, slowly but surely, force the locals to see things your way.

The international islamic dominance groups are very patient folks. They're MORE than happy to sacrifice a few, just as long as they eventually create that beachhead of fear.

Just look at Somalia. Perfect example of how it's done.

Of course, in places like the UK it take a while longer and is a bit harder/trickier to accomplish but they have NOTHING but time.
