re: #9 ProBosniaLiberal

The leader of the Bosnian Republic that broke away from Yugoslavia was a straight up ex member/supporter of the SS.

From the New York Times in case you think I am citing some BS source:

During World War II, when Bosnia became part of the puppet-Nazi state of the Croatian Ustashe, Mr. Izetbegovic joined the Young Muslims, a group torn between siding with the German-sponsored Handzar divisions organized by the German SS or with the Yugoslav Communist partisans led by Josip Broz Tito. Mr. Izetbegovic supported the Handzars.

If you were a Serb - whose people suffered under the Nazis in brutal Croatian and Bosnian Muslim run death camps (and reprisal killings) and you see a former supporter of the Nazi SS Handzars become the leader of this breakaway new state that you now find yourself living under (WW2 was not that long ago in the 1990s in the Balkans memory) would you not try and do all you could to not live under the potential rule of a SS sympathizer who also said he believed in Islamism over secular society?

And I see you don’t deny the Croatian re-introduction of Nazi era flags, symbols, money, and other thuggery - Serbs were to be made welcomed under the Croatian nazi revival state?

To paraphrase Chris Rock when he was talking about OJ Simpson, I don’t condone what the Serbs did, but I understand why.

I will support a Tito commie over some wannabe Neo-nazi any day. And your charge I hate Jews and I am an Orthodox Christian! Wow, my Jewish mother will be surprised.
