Michale Totten reports on the Muslims (and Catholics and Orthodox Christians) of Kosovo
Hattip Instapundit. A taste from one of our best independent reporters. Go read the whole thing.I understood already why the KLA [Kosovo Liberation Army, presumably] told the mujahideen, the radical Arab Islamists, to stay out during the war, but I wanted to hear a local person explain it from his or her perspective. "The KLA," I said. "Why did they say no to the mujahideen?" "In Bosnia," he said, "the mujahideen called the war a holy war, and they wanted to call the war here a holy war. But it was not a holy war, it was a war against the Serbian regime and paramilitary forces. So to prevent this we told them No. You can't have an attitude like that. You can send money to buy guns, but you cannot be with us in the war. That was a good idea. They destroy everything they touch." Posted by: trailing wife 2008-07-23 |
