Bosnians can’t believe that somebody of Bosnian origin can do something like this,” Turkovic said Thursday during on a two-day visit from Washington.

Bullsh-t.

Anyhow, it’s just what Hugh Fitzgerald says: the perturbed mind of a non-Muslim looks elsewhere to blame for their problems: their parents, their spouse, their children, society, the last meal they had, …, sometimes, even themselves. Only the Muslim mind is given – bequeathed by Allah – an eternal, all-encompassing scapegoat for all of their ills, real or imagined: the Other, the infidel, the kaffir. And jihad is the all-encompassing solution to that Problem. All little problems are cast as manifestations of the Big Problem.

That’s the real reason we have to be concerned about “manufacturing more terrorists”: it’s not what we do them necessarily, but what anyone can do to them – even other Muslims, even Mother Nature, in their daily lives – that turns them into shadids instead of seekers of help (or those who are just bitter in the normal sense :-).

We have a ton of Bosnians in my area. For the most part they seem to be decent-and make an effort to learn English.
I have yet to see any patriotic “display” on a car etc in front of the islamic center-and that does bother me though.

[...] In other comedy news, a gigantic Indian chief squashed a college marching band beneath his vast legs and bottom. Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson immediately condemned unnamed bloggers and assured local Bosnians that “he would protect them from any backlash against them”. [...]

Apparently, Sulejman Talovic's cousin sent jihadist death threats in 2002 to Connecticut's then Governor John Rowland. Also, the Deseret Morning News is sobbing over the family's need for money to fly terrorist Talovic's body for burial in Bosnia. Boo hoo.

[...] Amanda Marcotte laid it all out for Salon how the howling right wing mobs, fresh from their bloody assaults on Salt Lake City’s Bosnians, hated strong opinionated women so much they ran her out of office. [...]

The Bosnians I met were fairly grateful to the US, Brits, et al… but that was 1997.

Bosnia’s ambassador to the United States, Bisera Turkovic, said her country was shocked by the teenager’s actions.

Is that more of an apology than we ever got out of Saudi Arabia and Egypt for the actions of their citizens on 9/11? Yeah, yeah, I know, the Saudis probably regarded an apology as superfluous, since their paid lackeys in Washington were so busy falling all over themselves assuring us that Saudi Arabia was a “friend and ally and partner in the War on Terror”…

Does anyone know if this Bosnian “refugee” was in the country legally? I haven’t seen anything mentioning his immigration or residency status other than the term “refugee.”

Yeah, I know what they mean. I am Irish and I cringe everytime thinking of all of those Americans and their “anti-Irish” rhetoric. The mobs running throught the streets shouting “down with the Irish”, almost as bad as all of the Christians burning gay bath houses down, and those white folk running them blacks out of town. It is amazing there are any Mosques still standing, or 7-11 in business.

Jerks, a bunch of lazy reporting jerks. They think everyone is on a verge of panic or they are uncontrollable. I am tired of reporters and leaders thinking the people who read and elect are stupid and mindless. Jerks!!

I wouldn’t rule it out. Violence used against me when I was younger by protestants in the south simply because I was a Northern Catholic (Unconfirmed, FTR), damn near drove me to the edge.

It’s much more predomant and lethal in Islam, but that’s why I don’t trust anyone overtly spiritual. Same reason I use an oven mitt when cooking, because I already learned once the hard way…

I searched through the white and yellow pages here in Texas and I couldn’t find the Anti-Bosnian League anywhere.

Would I be accused of perpetrating some sort of backlash here if I raised an eyebrow and observed that the former Yugoslavia is such a peaceful place?

So that is why I was in SFOR in 1997!?! I always wondered why I was stepping off a plane at Sarajevo Aerodrom, 18 months to the day after President Clinton said the last American soldier would be home…

I thought this was tied to Ms Flemings’ comments comparing Iraq, and Murtha to Bosnia.
Sorry, nevermind!
