International News Title: Terrorist and Ethnic Ripples in the Balkans: Republika Srpska, Kosovo, Macedonia and distant Syria Terrorist and Ethnic Ripples in the Balkans: Republika Srpska, Kosovo, Macedonia and distant Syria Ramazan Khalidov and Lee Jay Walker Modern Tokyo Times The Balkans in the last few days is showing further signs of a growing Salafi Islamist menace and the usual traits of Albanian nationalism. Ironically, the “old battleground in Kosovo,” whereby the Orthodox Christian Jerusalem was taken away from Serbia, is now showing a hidden danger to both Muslim Albanian dominated Kosovo and Republika Srpska in Bosnia. Therefore, terrorist sweeps took place in Albanian ruled Kosovo and the Republika Srpska. In Macedonia the current crisis is hitting the headlines because of the numbers of people killed in clashes between the security forces of this nation and ethnic Albanians. Indeed, the government of this nation is at pains to keep information rather secretive because of fears of stoking the fire. However, it does appear that the terrorist attack in Macedonia was based on Albanian nationalism. Macedonia should worry the most because in Bosnia, Cyprus, and Kosovo, the West sided with the Muslim side on each occasion against Orthodox Christians. On top of this, just like in the current crisis in Syria, it was clear that in Bosnia the governments of America and Turkey – and others – understood the need to utilize international jihadists. This is because these two nations, and others, enabled the international Islamist menace to military arm itself in order to butcher Orthodox Christian Serbs in Bosnia. Not surprisingly, revenge attacks against internal Bosnian Islamist forces and international jihadists was met by brute force (this reality took place alongside ethnic nationalism). Also, beheading people became an Islamist calling card just like Takfiri forces in Iraq and Syria are beheading Alawite Muslims (Syria), Shia Muslims (Iraq and Syria) and loyal Sunni Muslims in both nations. The BBC reports “Macedonia says five Kosovans led the armed group which was involved in clashes with security forces in the northern town of Kumanovo.” fullsizerender-181 Ivo Kotevski, the Interior Ministry spokesperson of Macedonia, confirmed that eight Macedonian officers were killed alongside 14 individuals linked to the Albanian nationalist terrorist group. The scope of the attack is further made clear because 37 Macedonian officers were injured. Therefore, the attack was well planned and aimed at destabilizing Macedonia. Currently, the government of Macedonia is indicating that the security crisis in Kumanovo is under control. Yet, while this is highly desired, it is still too early to form any clear conclusion. After all, it is not known how high the chain goes and if the attack on Kumanovo is based on higher objectives? Meanwhile, in Muslim Albanian controlled Kosovo security forces arrested many Islamist Albanian Takfiris. The Special Court acknowledged that 32 individuals were arrested based on having direct or indirect links to ISIS (IS – Islamic State) and al-Nusra in Syria. Balkan Insight reports: “According to the Special Prosecution, some of the suspects joined armed groups in Syria, deemed to be terrorist organizations by the United Nations. The Kosovo daily Koha Ditore published the names of those accused on Friday.” The seriousness of the Takfiri Islamists threat towards Albanian Muslim dominated Kosovo was made abundantly clear by elites in Pristina last year. This was based on a statement released by Pristina whereby militant Islamists were deemed a “threat to national security.” In this ironic sense, militant Islamist forces utilizing Syria based on Gulf petrodollars – and the intrigues of nations like America, France, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey – are now a threat to indigenous Islam in Albanian and the Orthodox Christians of Kosovo (this embattled Christian community is also threatened by Albanian nationalism) and Bosnia. Similar to Muslim Albanian led Kosovo, the Republika Srpska is also clamping down on Takfiri Islamists. Balkan Insight reports: “Police in Bosnia’s Serb- dominated entity, Republika Srpska, RS, have arrested 30 persons suspected of involvement in Islamist radical activity and of posing a possible security threat, RS police confirmed on Thursday.” Dragan Lukac, Interior Minister of the Republika Srpska, stressed “the entity police raided 32 locations across Republika Srpska and seized quantities of weapons, ammunition, bullet proof vests, uniforms and other military equipment.” Once more, the arrests by the Bosnian Serb entity of suspected Takfiri Islamists is also linked to the destabilization policies of outside nations aimed towards the secular government of Syria. Clearly, the Takfiri Islamist menace towards secular Syria based on the intrigues of the usual players is creating terrorist and sectarian alarm bells throughout parts of the Balkans. Recently a Takfiri Islamist killed a police officer in Zvornik on April 27, 2015. This reality, and security sweeps in Republika Srpska and in Albanian Muslim dominated Kosovo, is highlighting the terrorist and sectarian ripples emanating from Syria because of the intrigues of outside nations. Sadly, this reality is based on the intrigues of international jihadist networks, several NATO powers and major Gulf nations like Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Obviously, for the people of Bosnia – irrespective if Catholic, Muslim or Orthodox Christian – the hands of outside nations aimed at overthrowing the government of Syria also draws major parallels to nations involved in the Bosnian crisis that erupted in the 1990s. Returning to the crisis in Macedonia the BBC reports: “Last month, about 40 ethnic Albanians from Kosovo briefly took over a Macedonian police station in the village of Gosince near the border, demanding the creation of an Albanian state in Macedonia.” Currently in Macedonia it appears that Albanian nationalism is the main component but Takfiri Islamist forces will be waiting for vacuums to emerge. Therefore, the recent violence in Macedonia needs to be dealt with immediately before sinister forces enter the equation to a much higher degree. Also, the Takfiri terrorist ratlines entering Syria based on the intrigues of Turkey must be eradicated and the same applies to keeping Gulf petrodollars out of the Balkans when based on religious militancy. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-32680904 http://www.balkaninsight.com/en/article/32-indicted-for-terrorism-in-kosovo mtt Modern Tokyo News is part of the Modern Tokyo Times group that includes the geopolitical entity titled Global Security News http://moderntokyotimes.com Modern Tokyo Times – International News and Japan News http://sawandjay.com Modern Tokyo Times – Fashion http://moderntokyonews.com Modern Tokyo News – Tokyo News and International News http://global-security-news.com Global Security News – Geopolitics and Terrorism PLEASE JOIN ON TWITTER https://twitter.com/MTT_News Modern Tokyo Times PLEASE JOIN ON FACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/moderntokyotimes

Never forget America armed Islamists.
It is no surprise to us to see Kosovo and Macedonia as new theaters of ISIS expansion. This was entirely predictable and inevitable. The ISIS caliphate was only the match to rekindle a renewed conflagration. No doubt, the two parties in the Beltway who created this ugly situation and intervened to create the narcoterrorist Islamic state of Kosovo by carving off a major section of known Serbian land will act all puzzled that this didn't work out. Like the Chechens, the Albanians need to be driven back into their homeland and confined there forcibly. They are violent and uncivilized people. Let them dwell in their own filth and backwardness. We should expect that the usual war hawks, the sickos like McStain and Miz Lindsey and their little gun molls Kelly Ayotte and Marco Rubio, will clamor for boots on the ground in Kosovo and more war, war, war.
I just discovered this news resource - I like reading news from non American and non Western sources (in English) as much as possible. I never heard of them and I wonder if they are related to any sort of Japanese church (they can be kind of cultish) but it seems on the up and up.
The writing and thought are very independent but they can't attract any real following in the West if they don't progress past their Japlish level of prose. Maybe you should offer to proofread for them, spruce up their prose style.
