Islamic jihad to target Balkans next, Israeli foreign minister says
Macedonian prime minister Nikola Gruevski and Israeli foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman.
Islamic Jihad organisations that already had infiltrated countries in Africa and South America intended doing the same in the Balkans, through similar methods including huge transfers of funds and the establishment of cells, Israeli foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman said.
Lieberman was speaking after meeting visiting Macedonian prime minister Nikola Gruevski on January 5 2009.
Intelligence services had evidence that Islamic terrorist organisations were already recruiting in the Balkans, Lieberman said, according to Israeli media reports.
Islamic and Saudi charities were continuously transferring funds to Muslims of Bosnian and Albanian origin, the Jerusalem Post reported him as saying.
Part of the evidence for infiltration in Africa was that two recent attempted crimes, the bid to blow up an aircraft travelling from Amsterdam to Detroit, and an attempt to murder Danish caricaturist Kurt Westergaard, had involved people from Nigeria and Kenya, Lieberman said.
Citing Israeli intelligence sources, Lieberman said that Muslim militants planned to exploit tensions between Muslims and Christians in the Balkans. Bosnians and Albanians had been recruited for terrorist training camps in preparation for being sent home to foster an Islamic revolution, according to Lieberman.
The issue of militant Islamic fundamentalist activities in South Eastern Europe has been the subject of continuous study and debate by various intelligence services, scholars and investigative journalists for several years, especially after the conflict that ended with the 1995 Dayton Accord, and further after the September 11 2001 terrorist attacks.
Among the more recent episodes was the sentencing in September 2009 by a court in Serbia of four Muslim men who, the court found, had planned to carry out terrorist acts in Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Macedonia. Found guilty of terrorism, illegal possession of weapons and links to foreign terrorist groups, the men were jailed for up to eight years each.
More recently, in December 2009 Ehsanul Islam Sadequee, one of two men jailed by a US court for filming landmarks to assist future terrorist attacks was found by US officials to have been in contact with Mirsad Bektasevic, a Balkan-born Swede convicted in 2007 of plotting to blow up a European target to make foreign troops withdraw from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Those who have portrayed Balkan countries as targeted for the propagation of Wahhabi, a militant variety of Sunni Islam, including authors such as Christopher Deliso and Shaul Shay. In a 2008 article, Deliso listed a long series of terrorist incidents either planned or carried out that involved people from various countries in South Eastern Europe, from Albania to Turkey.
Critics of such theses describe them as unduly alarmist and of failing to make distinctions among the diverse strands within Islam – even fundamentalist Islam – and that most Muslim communities in South Eastern Europe adhere to a mainstream, moderate form of the faith.
However, others have claimed that the problem is much more extensive. In 2008, Darko Trifunovic, of the faculty of security studies at the University of Belgrade, quoting sources including the US treasury department, alleged that Al-Qaeda was establishing a fully-operational terrorist financing and logistical network in the Balkans.
Like several others, Trifunovic said that it was common practice for money to be funnelled into the Balkans through front organisations operating as charity, humanitarian or educational institutions.
One aspect of the narrative that is debated arises from the Dayton Accord provision that Mujahedin foreign fighters who supported Bosnian Muslims in their conflict with Serbs and Croats should leave the region. Some authors allege that not all left, especially given that they had married locally and been given passports, while others say that "quietly" Bosnia had evicted all the fighters from the country.
In a number of countries in South Eastern Europe, money – often emanating from Saudi Arabia – has been provided to build mosques and Muslim schools. Muslim organisations and news services insist that this is conventional religious and educational work and that there is nothing sinister about it. However, some of the organisations involved in sending money have been listed by the US and others as terrorist organisations.
Reacting to Lieberman’s statement, Gruevski said that the warning was "not something new" and there had been several media reports about a year ago about such a threat.
"We should be prepared for all possibilities in this direction; services in all countries should be ready to stop such actions if they occur," Gruevski said, Macedonia’s A1 television reported.

New `radical Islam in Bulgaria' claims
Just days after Sofia hosted a forum on how teaching at schools could be used to forestall radical Islam, a researcher gave an interview alleging that extremist Islamic sects were operating in eastern Bulgaria. In an interview with Bulgarian news agency Focus, associate professor Tatyana Dronzina - described as an expert on conflict and terrorism research - was quoted as saying that Turkish-linked radical sects Nurju, Suleymandzh and Miligurush were believed to be active in the eastern part of the country.
INSIGHT: Radical Islam in Bulgaria?
Let us accept that radical Islam does not necessarily translate into terrorism. Other major religions have adherents who subscribe to interpretations of their scriptures that depart from the mainstream in their beliefs and observances. The question, in treating of any variety of a "fundamentalist" interpretation of a religion must be whether its teachings include an endorsement of encouragement to violence. Even

Lately in Sarajevo, it has become common to see vans with tinted windows in which women in black hijab and children are escorted, usually by two bearded men in the traditional Wahhabi short trousers. Only until six months ago, Nermina from Sarajevo was one of those women dressed in hijab. For five years she was a follower of the Wahhabi movement and wore a long black dress concealing her entire

Fuad Kamal started Anaara Media in conjunction with al Qaeda to recruit international Jihadists. Fuad Kamal is currently involved in identifying U.S. synagogues, churches, malls, and other places where large numbers of Americans congregate. Fuad Kamal assisted with the cargo plane explosives by identifying synagogues in Chicago, Illinois as destinations. Fuad Kamal attended college in Illinois, although he now lives and works in Beltsville, Maryland. Fuad Kamal is stepping up his recruitment activities in line with new attacks currently being planned in both America and Europe.
Fuad Kamal of Anaara Media is directly involved in fund raising for the mosque the Islamists wish to build within 2 blocks of the massacre of 3,000 innocent American civilians on 9/11. Fuad Kamal is a radical terrorist who has many contacts both within the U.S. and in the Middle East. The site of this mosque was deliberately chosen to mock and humiliate the thousands of murdered civilians and their families who continue to suffer so much because of this unprovoked attack. It is time Americans stood up for themselves and their country and halt the building of this mosque. [...]
Read the full comment If Americans had attacked and killed 3,000 Muslims in Afghanistan, do you think that Afghanistan would allow these same people to build a huge church within throwing distance of the site where 3,000 people lost their lives? The Afghans would never stupidly discuss "religious freedom" and allow this project to go forward in the supposed name of "religious freedom" as America is doing. This is not religious freedom but mockery of all that America stands for and is a harbinger of worse thiings to come.

Fuad Kamal runs the covert operation Anaara Media in the Washington, D.C. area. Anaara Media is a covert operation for the recruitment and training of young Jihadists. I have personally met Fuad Kamal and know of his intentions and future attacks being planned. Fuad Kamal is also involved in the direct channeling of money to Al Qaeda to finance future Jihads. He is an explosives expert, and probably the most dangerous Islamic extremist on the East Coast of the U.S.
Well Jim what do you expect from a people who call their own citizens as traitors if they disagree with the falso macedonian heritage? Who call for the charge of treason for any one who speaks the truth of the true Slav Identity? And they seriously want to join the EU and NATO
But dont worry, fanatics are always their own demise and I doubt a bunch of counterfeit marble statues nor a bunch of men in phalanx formation will save them
Hello Lou.
Trully , I'm very surprised with your comments.
Do you really would feel happy to see terrorist do damage in USA ??!!
What is going on in your empty melon? Are you high my friend??
Don't you understand a thing in this world, if USA is hurt the more you and your kind will suffer, because the americans will come after you people wherever you are or hide and what are you going to do then? How are you going to stop them ,tell me ?! Don't you [...]
Read the full comment see what happend to terrorist in Avganistan, Iraq, and all around the world?
That's why my friend you and perhaps your terrorist friends like, Fuad Kamal, have to rethink deeply and well from before they take,encourage or support any terrorist idea or action aganist USA or any other country.
YOU AND THEM CANNOT WIN.
You better have a friend like USA than enemy. This is my first and last advice to you and your kind before it's too late. Look at Fuad Kemal now, he lost his life his family everyything dear in this world.
ta taa.
Future Jihads will target the United States, not the Balkans. The homegrown terrorists in the United States will not waste time targeting the Balkans. They know they can do the most damage to the United States by a direct Jihad in America. Fuad Kamal who runs the front organization Anaara Media out of the Washington, D.C. area is one of the most dangerous terrorists in the U.S. He is a close friend of Major Hasan who killed 13 in the Fort Hood Massacre last year. They are both members of the extremist Islamic mosque in Silver Spring, Maryland, right outside [...]
Read the full comment Washington, D.C. Fuad Kamal is an explosives expert, and recruits and trains young Jihadists. He is a highly sophisticated and cunning man who is committed to Islam and the overthrow of the West. He has participated in training videos showing Muslim women how to slit throats of infidels. Fuad Kamal of Anaara Media is far more dangerous because he resides in the United States. No one suspected Major Hasan before he committed thirteen murders. He was transferred to Fort Hood because he was a "problem" but no one took action until it was too late. Fuad Kamal is Major Hasan's long-time friend and associate. They share the common goal of death to all infidels and the end of western civilization as we know it.

I'm not at all a moderator, and I'm not taking their place. We spend some time in the same space we share together.
The only thing I'm asking from everyone is to respect rules and to get concerned to the argument and not to abuse with this opportunity. That's all.
And this request can be done by everyone who want to share ideas seriously and not to waste time with "dirty mouths" and "nationalist warriors".
Alban, I didn't know you were one of the modarators of this site.
If I am in violation of this site I am sure that I will be told by people paid to do so.

For someone who declared that he is a professor you sure can't put a sentence together properly.
Have another read of your post and tell me if that piece of garbage was written by a professor. Actually judging by your writing you haven't even graduated high school.
You are no Greek. Why are you so ashamed of your ethnicity?
I have debated with many Albanians and the way you write and the amount of hatred you have for Serbs only a Croat, Bosnian Muslim or an Albanian would be who you are.
Albanian is my first choice but I could be wrong.
So plese stop embarrassing yourself here. Learn how to write a comment before you declare you have graduated from anything more than primiary (elementary in your country) school.

James, first of all, you have not addressed anything I wrote in my last post.
Second, I am so impressed that we have so many college professors writing on this site. You know I don't believe you.
Third, when you say Albanians are or they are, shouldn't you say we are? Yes, you are obviously Albanian, so why try to hide that?
Are you ashamed?
Please peddle you crap somewhere else. You are no more a college professor than you are an astronaut.

Hello Peggy.
Now i can see you know nothing about albanians. ALBANIA has a glorious history and individuals like you can not do any harm to its reputation. In a few years ALbania will be the best country in Europe. See World Bank and IMF annual economic reports.
As for your knowledge I'm a college professor in the States. I have studied and seen a lot of countries around the world around the world, but no one has impressed me and my colleagous more than Albania and Albanians. They are exremley intelligent people, very [...]
Read the full comment ambitious, peaceful and friendly. They areveagerly desirous of acheiving and obtainining success, wealth, economic power; all these require exceptional efforts, intellectal traits, critical thinking and abilities to act without fear and these features are plentiful among albanians (I see my students everyday in class). With these kind of people world can do better and that's why we see a lot of political support for ALBANIA from the most powerful nations such as USA,FRANCE, UK, ITALY, GERMANY, JAPAN,AUSTARLIA, CANADA, SWEDEN and so on.........
You hatred for Albanians is blind, and you need to open your eyes.
Albanians have a good saying:
when some hate and speak badly about you that means that there are a lot of good things in you that causes such reactions against you. This old albanian saying is considered the most smart and meaningfull sentence in the word of scholars. Do you know about this Peggy ?!.... You....I do not think so..... your knowledge about these people is totally wrong or probably intentional, but they do not care

Hello James,
We are discussing Islamic Jihad. What do we accomplish by talking about Mother Teresa? Don't divert from the topic.
Albanians have been linked to terrorism in the US and many other terrible things around the world.
Mother Teresa is not going to help your case now.
Hello James,
I do not intend to go into battle with anyone leas of all you.
My God, I can come up with at least three names too. What does that prove?
BTW, Mother Teresa loved you guys so much she wanted to by burried in India.
Didn't even want to return home dead.

Sorry for being a bit late to my response , but since you want me to go first I will do it with great pleasure.
I will start easy on you. I'm going to give you some names. This is only the beginning of our battle for evidence and history of a nation or maybe the last one if you cannot fight back:

Let's see now. Only Bosnian Muslims, Croats and Albanians call Serbs terrorist.
Show me who else has called Serbs terrorists apart from these three.
Now let't take a look at who the three are:
Bosnian Muslims: Got heaps of help from their mujahadeen terrorist brothers and some are even linked to terrorism themselves.
Croats: Nazis from WW2 and still Nazis using the same symbols from that era.
Albanians: Well, Nazis from WW2, were on terrorist list (KLA)until Clinton saw them [...]
Read the full comment as a useful tool and took them off that list and now still linked to terrorist attacks like Fort Dix and Ford Hood.
So when they call Serbs terrorists, nobody and I mean nobody else is going to agree.
Yeah, Albo, the serbs are "Orthodox Fanatics", that's why you Albanians burn their Churches is nothern Kosovo (Churches which were and are UNESCO monuments).
I know someone else who demolishes and burns places of worship. Their name is HAMAS (good friends of KLA, your current government) and they burn and demolish synagogues in Gaza, while playing the victim.
Where do you get your information ? The US and EU have NOT ignored Bosnia and Herzegovina. Rather, the whole place as it is now is their creation (the Dayon agreement, the UN forces, now replaced by Eur-Lex etc etc). Get a grip on reality.
Serbia is a hotbed for mafia like Albania ?!?
That's like saying "Israel is a hotbed for mafia like Palestine". Where do you get your facts ?
The US and EU have been engaged in the affairs of the Balkans for a LOOOONG time, and [...]
Read the full comment the Balkans as we have them now are their creation. Have you forgotten the interference of Germany and Italy in Slovenia and Croatia ? The bombing of Bosnia ? The bombing of Kosovo ? The NATO and EU forces in the region ?
The Ahtisaari plan for Kosovo, which pushed for its independence ?
You must be completely out of touch with reality.
The Croats were terrorists as well (that was also proved by the ICTY). The Albanians (KLA) were and are terrorists as well.
What you call "the Serbs" was the Yugoslav army, fighting against the terrorists who wanted to dismember Yugoslavia.
Funny how the Croatian Ustashe (who killed hundreds of thousands of Serbs in WWII) aren't terrorists in your book, but the army of a federal state is. Funny how Al-Qaeda connected, Saudi and Lybia-funded muslim fundamentalists are not terrorists in your book, but the army of
a state which was [...]
Read the full comment officially _atheist_ is.
The Yugoslav army not motivated by religion, it was officially atheistic.
Wow, the Serbs were the bullies ?
What about Serbs having been the ones bullied by Croats, Kosovars et al, ever since the first world war ? Get your facts straight, read some history.
For the defenders of the IRA (an antisemite, pro-PLO, pro-Hamas, pro-Hizbullah, pro-Lybian left wing terrorist organization connected with the FARC paramilitaries, Cuba and so on):
the Irish are the LAST people on this planet who are qualified to talk about terrorism. No wonder that they love Muslim killers while hating their enemies.

I agree with you 100%. Serbia is the Russia-wanna-be bully of the Balkans.
The people of Sarajevo and Bos-Her are wonderful. I hope they can self-police and eliminate the extremist Muslims from their country.
NATO bombed the wrong people. Sadly but the Islamo-fascists will take over Europe in no time.
Try and ask for permission to build a church in Turkey, Iran, Sudan, Saudi..anywhere Muslim and you will be guaranteed you will be rejected and threatened. ASK THE COPTS IN EGYPT WHAT HAPPENS TO THEM ON A DAILY BASIS! Islam is for the dark ages and the weak in mind and spirit.
James, I know more about Albanians than you think.
How about you let me know when you actually have some facts to debate with instead of emotion and empty chatter?
Peggy, do not make comments about albania and albanians. Do really you think you know anything about them ..........?! Let me know if you know something.
Response to Someone:
Your claim is simply false. ETA is a Basque separatist groups which has been using terrorism for decades. Same is true with the IRA and today's Real IRA. What the Serbs did in Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Kosovo was the purest form of terrorism. Armed Serb military and paramilitary units were killing and raping unarmed civilians and were burning their homes and villages. People in Sarajevo lived in terror for almost four years every day being exposed to explosions and gunfire along with the cold, lack or food and medical care. The Serbs were [...]
Read the full comment terrorists and that is a fact that has been proven by the ICTY. At the time the term terrorist was not in vogue as it is today but that is the only term that can be used to describe what they did to the non-Serb inhabitants - they terrorized them.
How about that?
'Not all Muslims are terrorists,but,all terrorists are Muslims.

Read the full comment of christians in Egypt and they are under sever persecution.The Muslims condemn Switzerland for not letting them build towers over their mosks.Just try to build a church or a synagogue in a Muslim country.You would be convicted and executed.
NO MUSLIMS=NO TERROR

Let's not generalize OK? Ilian was pretty colorful in his comment, but he does make a point.
Lieberman does belong to the far right Israeli political factions. As such, any statements he makes where Muslims are involved should be taken with a huge lump of salt.
Can Albanian debate anything without resorting to vulagity?
Just shows the level of intelligence of that person.

Inappropriate comment?
Serbs are just as big of terrorists as Islamic Fundimentalists. The only difference is that Serbs are Orthdox Fanatics.
======================
You can stop calling Serbs terrorists unless you can prove it.
Serbs have never been on any terrorist list but KLA has.
Unless you can back your argument up with facts kindly stop lying.
Any failed or failing state is a potential hotbed for criminality and terrorism. It does not depend on the religion of the people or the geographic location of the country. In the Balkans there are several unresolved or "frozen" conflicts which are being fought out politically and in which certain political leaders are stoking ethnic/religious tensions in order to stay in power. In such cases it is common to see a minority of people move towards extremist points of view and violence becomes evermore likely. The US and EU have ignored Bosnia-Herzegovina with its substantial constitutional problems which are preventing [...]
Read the full comment the country from becoming a stable democracy and prevent it from joining NATO and the EU. Also Kosovo is a partially recognized country which does not have the ability to stand on its own and where ethnic/religious tensions are also high between the ethnic Serbs and Albanians. Serbia is already a hotbed for mafia and organized crime as is Albania. The only way in which the entire Balkan region can be prevented from becoming a safe-haven for criminals and terrorists is by the US and EU getting engaged in its affairs and working with moderate serious politicians who fight for results and not only for their own personal wealth and power. Until Bosnia-Herzegovina gets a new democratic constitution, Kosovo's ethnic groups reach some kind of understanding, and Serbia's political parties renounce the violent fascist ideology of forming a "Greater Serbian" state that the war criminals Milosevic, Karadzic, Mladic, etc. advocated for there will not be any long term stability in the region and criminality will only increase posing a danger to the people living in the region and Europe as a whole.
>>In a number of countries in South Eastern Europe, money – often emanating from Saudi Arabia – has been provided to build mosques and Muslim schools. Muslim organisations and news services insist that this is conventional religious and educational work and that there is nothing sinister about it. However, some of the organisations involved in sending money have been listed by the US and others as terrorist organisations.<<

You have another article where S. Arabia is lobbing other Muslim countries [...]
Read the full comment to recognize a phantom statelet "Kosovu". {Imagine brotherly Muslim countries need to be lobbied by a medieval kingdom to recognize a brethren state! You know something is wrong there} Well, now you have the rest of that story.
Serbs are just as big of terrorists as Islamic Fundimentalists. The only difference is that Serbs are Orthdox Fanatics.
Wow! I'm shocked. The Serbs had no idea this was going on all when they were taking care of business. Perhaps NATO can come into the Balkans again and this time join the right side!
