Slavofascism, Islamofascism, neofascism, Commie Sandi seems rather busy to be posting here. Fortunately, “bloggers are not legitimate journalists”, only those who write for such great publications as the National Review, Weekly Standard or Front Page Mag are in fact “legitimate journalists” so he has nothing to worry about from Chris Deliso. He just felt the need to point how illegitimate he felt this mere blogger was in presuming his reporting had any merit and that the Muslims are the whipping boys of the Balkans.

This caliphate stuff is just more fear factor meant to demonise those countries the US empire deems a threat to their sole superpower status since the collapse of the Soviet Union. [which hasnt really collapsed IMHO]

Mr. Schwartz, toeing the Washington party-line with your real name is not an act of civil courage. If your allegations of ‘disinformation’ had any factual merit, you could use this space to justify them instead of resorting to the character assassination and potty-language so common among your kind.

Chris Delouso is no more the only Western journalist in Macedonia than I am president of the U.S. First, bloggers are not legitimate journalists and Delouso has a total of three clips as a journalist, all of them in the realm of travel puffery. Second, numerous Western journalists travel to Macedonia but would not be seen in the company of disinformational propagandists for Slavofascism like Delouso. His fabrications about Balkan Islam and especially about Albanians are contemptible, but fully appropriate for the walls of the public toilet run by Dennis Raimondo.

I can only speak of those I personally know. Those people are refugees who fled the country.

What happened to those who stayed behind is another matter.

You commit massive atrocities against people, and you know what? You will radicalize them.

It might come as a shock to many, but that’s what happens.

And yes. I’m sure that there were terrible atrocities on all sides. But I am equally sure that it wasn’t ‘equal’. Muslims got it harder and longer and from both sides. Sorry, folks, that’s just what happened.

The thing you always run into when dealing with Balkan people of all stripes is that they are fed a victim mentality with their mother’s milk, and are utterly incapable of seeing anything from anybody else’s point of view.

Just a reply to Redsaunas message. Give those “open-minded, cosmopolitan and outward-looking and modern of the lot” a chance to be a majority as a people and rule this country, then you would see how ” open-minded, cosmopolitan and outward-looking and modern of the lot” they are. By saying all of this before, I don’t want to assault some and many good people and families among them, but in general, I wouldn’t make a statement as you made just by knowing few or some families or individuals, not only muslims, but any other people. Also, people that you know could be as you described, but majority of them is not.

Jana,

Amen! This was not the case prior to the dissolution of Yugoslavia. My mother’s family was from Zenica. During WWII more than 1/2 of her large, extended family were slaughtered by the Croatian Ustasha/Bosniak(sic) Muslim. During the Wars of Yugoslav Dissolution, the remainder of her family were exterminated save 2 by the Bosniak(sic) Muslims and the imported mujahedeen. This formerly Orthodox christian town has been turned into a Muslim stronghold. With the consequent harassment you experienced.

Thanks god you are probably not a woman and if you are you did not go to Bosnia. I sincerely suggest that you visit Bosnia and see for yourself how “open minded and cosmopolitan” they are. They are so cosmopolitan especially in Zenica that after been few times harassed (having breakfast in the hotel restaurant, in the hotel lift and on the street) I was afraid to go out of my hotel room.
