Title: FROM EL PASO TO SARAJEVO How White Nationalists Have Been Inspired by the Genocide of Muslims in Bosnia

In a spring day in 2017, a monument was raised in the Bosnian town of Višegrad, in memory of a terrible mass murder that had occurred there two decades earlier. In a somber ceremony attended by local dignitaries, a 5.5-meter reflective steel monument was raised on top of a grassy hill overlooking the town. Višegrad was the site of some of the worst atrocities that took place during the ugly wars following the collapse of Yugoslavia. Over the course of one summer in 1992, as many as 3,000 Muslims were shot, raped, and drowned in this historic town along the banks of the Drina River. A resort hotel, the Vilina Vlas, was transformed into a concentration camp for the rape of young women. On at least two occasions, dozens of elderly people, women, and children were herded into homes by jeering Serb gunmen and burned alive.

Those atrocities are exactly what made the new memorial so jarring. The shining cross was not erected in memory of the Muslim victims of the genocide. It was put up to honor the perpetrators and their allies: Serbian paramilitaries and the Russian volunteers who helped them ethnically cleanse the town.

Nearly two decades after the war ended, Bosnia is still struggling to emerge from the vortex of hatred that destroyed the country during the 1990s. Yet what may be even more alarming is that outside of Bosnia, the memory of the genocide committed against its Muslims has become a source of inspiration for the global far right. The shooter who killed 51 people at two mosques in New Zealand this March wrote the names of Serbian nationalist leaders on the rifle he used to carry out the massacres. During his livestream of the attacks, he played a jaunty song performed by Bosnian Serb soldiers during the war, nicknamed “Remove Kebab,” that has become popular among the online “alt-right.” The Norwegian extremist Anders Breivik, who murdered 77 people during a 2011 shooting rampage, reportedly also showed a “strange obsession” with the genocide in Bosnia, heaping praise on wartime Serb leaders in a manifesto he wrote before his attacks. A domestic terrorist in Pennsylvania who killed a state trooper in 2014 was similarly infatuated with the wartime Bosnian Serb military, posing images of himself on social media in a uniform from the notorious Drina Wolves unit. On websites like 4chan that are helping to breed a new culture of racial hatred and glorification of violence, it’s not hard to find the Bosnian genocide favorably discussed. These new online connections are also helping to foster real-world links between the Western far right and its Balkan counterparts......

What side(s), if any, would you all say was in the right in the Bosnian (etc.) war?

The Intercept has gone wacko peecee on 'diversity issues' but I'm not sure what to make of this piece, not having bothered to follow those post-communist conflicts in Europe as they happened. I knew without asking that DC's involvement was evil. ameriKa made Milosevic a Hitler of the Year, he was clearly suicided, and he sounds like a great man via wikid. in spite of itself.

What side(s), if any, would you all say was in the right in the Bosnian (etc.) war?

Short version @ 4um Ref. - Post #1: "Serbs [were] the only one[s] who fought to save Yugoslavia from col[l]apsing."

In WWI, Serbs were allied with Tsarist Russia; which was also our ally until the Communist Bolsheviks overthrew the government of Russia, then assassinated the Tsar and his family.

This is a 2011 comment from Brother Nathanael's site:

The Serbs are grateful to Tsar Nicholas II because he saved Serbian soldiers and Serbian people from certain death at Albania during the 1st WW.

The Serbian king Alexander appealed for help to the Russian Tsar, who issued ultimative warning to the president of France and the British king George V, that the Russia would withdraw from the war unless the Serbian army was saved and transported to Corfu.

Many soldiers died at Corfu and were buried at sea.


More detailed historical version:

When the Ottoman empire invaded and ruled those regions of Europe (that were later called Yugoslavia, etc.), many people in the Albania area converted to Islam. Religious differences between Christian Orthodox Serbs, Christian Catholic Croats, Muslim Bosniaks and Muslim Albanians contributed to the collapse of Yugoslavia in 1991.

The Battle of Kosovo of 1389 is considered to be one of the defining moments in Serbian medieval history. The region was the core of the Serbian medieval state, which has also been the seat of the Serbian Orthodox Church from the 14th century, when its status was upgraded to a patriarchate.

Kosovo was part of the Ottoman Empire from the 15th to the early 20th century. In the late 19th century, it became the centre of the Albanian National Awakening [commonly known as the Albanian Renaissance or National Renaissance or National Revival - compare to American and European nationalism being denigrated as "racist"]. Following their defeat in the Balkan Wars (1912 and 1913), the Ottomans ceded Kosovo to Serbia and Montenegro.

Serbia had declared indepedence from the Ottoman Empire and became the Kingdom of Serbia in 1815. Its Obrenovic ruling dynasty was assassinated in 1903 by the Black Hand (formed in 1901). A constitutional monarchy was created with the military Black Hand society operating behind the scenes. The traditionally good relations with Austria-Hungary ended, as the new dynasty relied on the support of the Russian Empire and closer cooperation with Kingdom of Bulgaria. The Black Hand is best known for being allegedly involved in the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife in Sarajevo (28 June 1914). It is often viewed as having contributed to the start of World War I by precipitating the July Crisis of 1914, which eventually led to Austria-Hungary's invasion of the Kingdom of Serbia [and the begining of WWI].

The Bosnian crisis started [before WWI] in 1908 after Bulgaria declared independence from the Ottoman Empire. The Bosnian crisis is also called the Annexation Crisis because Austria-Hungary annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina, which was populated mainly by South Slavs.

Yugoslavia was a Post-WWI "utopian" project to conglomerate the region: first under the name of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, then the official name of the state was changed to Kingdom of Yugoslavia on 3 October 1929. Yugoslavia was invaded by the WWII Axis powers on 6 April 1941. The monarchy was abolished in November 1945. Yugoslavia was renamed the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia in 1946, when a communist government was established. It acquired the territories of Istria, Rijeka, and Zadar from Italy. Partisan leader Josip Broz Tito ruled the country as president (until 1980). In 1963, the country was renamed again, as the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY). The six Socialist Republics that made up the SFRY were the SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, SR Croatia, SR Macedonia, SR Montenegro, SR Serbia, and SR Slovenia. Serbia contained two Socialist Autonomous Provinces, Vojvodina and Kosovo, which after 1974 were largely equal to the other members of the federation.

Slovenia and Croatia wanted more autonomy and to allow a multi-party system. In January 1990, the Serbian-dominated assembly agreed to abolish the single-party system but their other proposals were voted down. The Croatian and Slovene delegations walked out - a symbolic event representing the break-up of the party and the end of "brotherhood and unity".

In March 1991, Croatia declared independence from Yugoslavia and Croatian Serbs opposed to that then seceded from Croatia. That conflict is called the "Homeland War". Slovenia seceded from the Yugoslavia federation in June 1991. The secessions of Slovenia and Croatia were declared to be illegal and contrary to the constitution of Yugoslavia. In April 1992, Bosnia and Herzegovina declared independence from Yugoslavia.

Kosovar Albanians started an insurgency against Belgrade (the capital of Yugoslavia) when the Kosovo Liberation Army [KLA] was founded in 1996. Armed clashes between the two sides broke out in early 1998. On 23 March with Yugoslav rejection of an external peacekeeping force, NATO prepared to install the peacekeepers by force. The NATO bombing of Yugoslavia followed, an intervention against Serbian forces. The 15-month war had left thousands of civilians killed on both sides and over a million displaced. The Insurgency in the Presevo Valley was an armed conflict between the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and [Muslim] ethnic-Albanian insurgents, beginning in June 1999 to 2001. The insurgency in the Republic of Macedonia was an armed conflict in Tetovo which began when the ethnic Albanian National Liberation Army (NLA) militant group began attacking the security forces of the Republic of Macedonia at the beginning of February 2001 and ended August 13. Albanians primarily live in Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia as well as in Croatia, Greece and Italy. Even though Albanians (who are primarily Muslim) had Albania - still they attacked Yugoslavia's capital in Belgrade and more.

After the breakup of Yugoslavia, the republics of Montenegro and Serbia formed a reduced federative state, known officially until 2003 as the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY). In 2003, its official name was changed to Serbia and Montenegro. This state dissolved when Montenegro and Serbia each became independent states in 2006, while Kosovo proclaimed its independence from Serbia in 2008. Serbia does not recognize Kosovo as a sovereign state.

#8. To: GreyLmist, All (#6)

Thank you so much GreyLmist for getting all that together. I'd like to say it sounds basically like all these little ethnostates were destined to exist and finally did, but it's not as simple as that either. Wonder how those Orthodox and Catholics getting along today.

One thing's for sure -- without the GD Turks pushing Islam on white people all that time the conflict would have been a lot less severe. (Right?) Why such an Albanian diaspora? Is it bigger than other countries' per capita?

You're welcome. It's handier to have it organized in one place, imo. : ) Orthodox and Catholics generally get along ok. I think you are right that the conflict would have been less severe without the mass conversion of Albanians to Islam when the Turks were in contol of the area. Very possibly, the conflict that involved NATO and the U.S. might not have happened at all and the Clinton-admin would have had to claim some other reason to wipe Yugoslavia off the map.

As for the Albania diaspora, they still do have what's called the Greater Albania/Ethnic Albania expansion project that goes all the way back to the time of the Ottoman Empire, so the diaspora might be part of that. They also collaborated with the Axis occupiers, who had promised them a Greater Albania. Collapse of Yugoslav rule resulted in actions of revenge being undertaken by Albanians, some joining the local Vulnetari militia that burned Serbian settlements and killed Serbs while interwar Serbian and Montenegrin colonists were expelled into Serbia. The aim of these actions were to create a homogeneous Greater Albanian state. The Albanians claimed in May 1941 that nearly all the Albanian populated territories were united to Albania. Between May 1941 and September 1943, Benito Mussolini placed nearly all the land inhabited by ethnic Albanians under the jurisdiction of an Albanian quisling government. Some reports of Albania and Montenegro since the end of Yugoslavia are alarmingly comparative to gangsterism and worse.

Serbia, though, did try to help Russia (that had helped them in WWI ; Ref. Post #6 above) by helping our U.S. troops and others who were sent there at the ending phase of WWI to assist the White Russians who were trying to stop the Red Russian/Bolshevik takeover. Some of our troops were called the Polar Bears. I posted a thread about them in my early days here and will link it in this one when I can, along with another 4um discussion about the U.S. and NATO v. Serbia, for additional info relevant to this topic. For now, this is an excerpt from the Wikipedia site on Vladimir Lenin that mentions Serbia and our Polar Bear Expedition in Russia but doesn't call it that:

The Whites were also backed by Western governments who perceived the [Bolshevik's] Treaty of Brest-Litovsk [with the Central Powers] as a betrayal of the Allied war effort and feared the Bolsheviks' calls for world revolution.

In 1918, the United Kingdom, France, United States, Canada, Italy, and Serbia landed 10,000 troops in Murmansk, seizing Kandalaksha, while later that year British, American, and Japanese forces landed in Vladivostok [i.e. U.S. Polar Bears]. Western troops soon pulled out of the civil war, instead only supporting the Whites with officers, technicians and armaments [after many Polar Bear casualties and others], but Japan remained because they saw the conflict as an opportunity for territorial expansion

This is an excerpt from a site called zianet.com about the U.S. and NATO involvement and closes with a notation about much earlier Serbia/Kosovo history:

"The KLA [Kosovo Liberation Army] had been engaged in prototypical Islamic terrorism and guerrilla war, aimed at the 'liberation' of Kosovo.

"In the 1980s, the Albanian Islamic-revolutionary militants had already been looking forward to 'Greater Albania,' including 'western Macedonia, southern Montenegro, part of southern Serbia, Kosovo and Albania itself.' But in the 1990s, it was all [supposedly] a 'national liberation movement' to the U.S. State Department.

"In 2001, the U.S. State Department even referred to the ubiquitous diabolical bin Laden and al-Qaeda in the KLA as well. But before Sept. 11, 2001, the phrase 'Islamic terrorism' was virtually unknown in the United States, and President Clinton's State Department perceived Yugoslavia as an outdated colonial empire, the Serbs as the Europeans, Christians and hence colonialists, and the Moslems as oppressed victims of colonialism, fighting for their liberation - hence the Kosovo Liberation Army.

"The KLA killed not only Serbs but also 'Albanian collaborators,' including women and children.

"In August 1995, the Clinton administration supported the Croatian army's expulsion of up to half a million Serbs from Krajina. Ethnic cleansing? A crime against humanity?

"Oh, no! Quite the contrary! That was a heroic struggle of victims of colonialism for their liberation from the colonialists."

And what is the historic significance of Kosovo to the Christians and Muslims who live in the region? Who are the Serbs of Kosovo, and their relationship to the Muslims? Are they really 'colonialists' who conquered and victimized the poor, downtrodden Muslims of the region? The truth is something very different.

KOSOVO BULWARK AGAINST ISLAM: "The Turkish invasion of Europe seemed unstoppable as they swept over everything in their path with fire and sword. Until they reached the Kosovo Plain." [i.e. Serbia stopping the Turks from taking Kosovo in the 1300s/14th century - Ref. Post #6 above]
