“It’s been over 550 years since the area fell to Islam, and it’s been a war zone ever since with Islam as the primary agitator. IMHO, we should let the people there finish this one way or the other and quit playing God.”
You are totally right. The video you point out in your post about Muslim atrocities in Bosnia is not surprising. Differently from Albanians (or Kosovans), notice Muslims in Bosnia are not racially different from Serbs, Croats, or even Macedonians and Bulgarians. These are descendants from converts to the Turkish rule, as when you converted to Islam you ceased being a Dhimmi and took superior status. This was very important as in the 1700′s and even 1800′s even a rich person (Chorbayi) had to dismount a horse and bow to a Muslim who went by walking.
Then the Turks had a very bad militia, mainly made of these converts, called the Bashi Bozouk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bashi-bozouk. They usually were let loose on rebel towns while drunk and committed incredible atrocities, the best example being the town of Batak in Bulgaria http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batak,_Bulgaria, where all children currently are taken to see the bones of the 5,000 massacred in the church. They never forget. The report by a Scot newsman in 1878 aroused the ire of Victor Hugo in France who denounced the cowardice of Europe for not helping the Bulgarians.
Anyhow, I am sure if they would have let the Serbs alone, things would be different now. All Balkan Slavs were in favor of the Serbs, but hillbilly Clinton had another quixotic idea, rooted in his great knowledge of history acquired while chasing squirts in Little Rock.
