THIS IS TOTALY OFF TOPIC BUT I CAN'T LET THIS PASS
Mea culpa mea maxima culpa!
I humbly beg for mercy from our strict moderator.
Kordts where did you get your information?
Kordts for your information not all muslims in former Yugoslavia were Albanians crossing Serbian border to live in Serb paradise ( in their case it would be Serbian western border
). I would suggest that you take a map of Yugoslavia and Balcans ( i think it will not be difficoult to find) and a history book about Bosnia (where most of theese massacres took place during WW2 and few years back), Albania or Balcans in general .
Little crash history course of a mess called Yugoslavia for our friend Kordts.
Bosnia itself used to be independent kingdom ( last bosnian queen - wife of last king Tvrdko II is buried in Rome) and it was NEVER part of Serbia or Croatia. Under heredetary contract ( with Herman II of Celje(Cilia)) after death of last man in line, kingdom became proprety of counts ( later Dukes) of Celje ( Cilia) in 12th cetury ( i figure that makes them Slovenes
).
After winning battle of Kosovo polje (1389 one and only battle between Tuks and Serbs for about 450 years) Turkish empire took hold of Serbia, Kosovo, Bosnia, Rumania etc. In Bosnia itself there was religious minority called Bogumili ( trans. Gods favourites - still little is known about them i think they were something as Katars in Aquitania) who were prosecuted as heretics by official church. Turks were realativly mild rulers ( concernig religion) and they welcomed them as liberators. Most of them took muslim religion along with some christians. Ethnicly they are slavic ( languge, customs etc.) and they never considered themselves as Turks. Most of Turkish armies that plagued Holy roman empire in late middle ages were in fact soldiers from Bosnia, Serbia, Macedonia and Albania bound to serve in Turkish armed forces ( for example in battle against Timurlenk in Anatolia Serb soldiers ( christians) comprised bulk of heavy cavalery that fought with distinction). After colapse of Turkish empire Austro- Hungarian empire annexed Bosnia ( 1875). Bosnian muslims were given a lot of privileges ( their own regiments etc.) and they served K.u.K army with distinction in WW 1. Others were not given such privileges. They never used terror tactics ( where did you get your information?)
About Serbs in Croatia and Bosnia. Most Serbs that lived in Croatia and northern Bosnia were exiles in middle ages when their country was under Turkish control. They were known as Uskoki and were settled in border areas ( Lika, northern Bosnia). They had similar priveleges and obligations as Cossaks in Russia ( they were not subject to feudalism and they fielded own miltary formations based on teritorial principle when emperor called for them) and were known as good soldiers.
About Albanians it is true they started to settle in Kosovo region under Turkish rule. That coused problems then as it is problem now as Kosovo is considered by most Serbs as heart of Serbia ( it was centre of Serbian kingdom until 1389).
Not all Albanians are muslims. There are quite a few Chatolic and Ortodox christians among them. They are one of the oldest nations in the balcans ( they are Iliri) and coused quite a few problems to the Roman empire ( as pirates) and later Turks (Skenderbeg - they repulsed Turkish army 17 times).
About using terror tactisc. This is a door that swings boath ways. In Kosovo it was tit for tat for last 500 years. It is a little known fact that Albanians did mutinie after ww2 ( 1948). Tito send the 4.th army to ''pacifie'' the region. They had similar succes as Milshevic forces in late 1990's, only no NATO intervention. Problem is that most of the land they have was simply bought from Serbs.
So Kordts think ( or read a book about the subject ) before you write something.
