ALBANIAN EXTREMISM NEEDS TO BE CALLED BY ITS TRUE NAME



Commentary by Father Sava


August 19, 2000


It is with great pain that we received the alarming news regarding the
newest attack by Albanian terrorists in which nine Serb children in the
village of Crkvena Vodica near Obilic were wounded. This attack has torn
the final mask from Albanian terrorism which in full daylight in front
of the entire international community is showing the horrifying portrait
of chaos in Kosovo and Metohija.

Under the protectorate of the international community and the most powerful
countries in the world,murderers of children, destroyers of medieval churches,
drug dealers, organizers of prostitution and white slave marketers are acting
with impunity in Kosovo.
Despite the enormous number of terrorist attacks being carried out with every
known type of weapon, including automatic weapons, rocket launchers, landmines
and rifle grenades which are falling on our monasteries, the highest
representatives of UNMIK still persist in refusing to acknowledge the existence
of ALBANIAN TERRORISM in Kosovo and Metohija, and in talking about "extremism"
as an undefined phenomenon which obscures both its strength and the course of
its development.

Yesterday, on the eve of the Orthodox Christian holy day of the Holy
Transfiguration, Albanian terrorists wished the Serbs a happy holiday by
attacking Serb children who will bear the physical and spiritual scars
of the attack their whole lives; by destroying the only Orthodox church
in the center of the town of Vucitrn; and by a rocket attack on the
building housing the only remaining Serbian institution in Pristina, the
Center for Peace and Tolerance.

Is all this a coincidence? Are these "incidents", "accidents" or open
terrorist attacks aimed at expelling the remaining Serbs from Kosovo and
Metohija?

Perhaps all this would not be so tragic if it were taking place during
wartime, when it is impossible to easily defend civilians from armed
attacks; but all this is happening ONE YEAR following the establishment
of so-called international peace, in the presence of almost 50,000 of
the best trained troops in the world, before the eyes and to the
DISHONOR of the United Nations, the United States, Britain, France,
Germany, Italy and all the other governments which by their silence and
unpreparedness to implement the resolution which they themselves passed
are committing a new crime and injustice against innocent people,
children, the centuries-old and ancient Christian tradition.

During this entire time, Albanian political leaders, expertly trained by
their mentors on how to give colorless and insincere statements in favor
"multiculturalism and multiethnicity", continue to evade confronting the
fact that by their silence and quiet acquiescence to violence, they are
building a monstrous political creation based on terrorism, organized
crime and Nazi-like discrimination of everything that is not Albanian.

How long with Europe and the United States continue to tolerate Albanian
FASCISM in Kosovo?

When will the powerful in the great capitols of the world who are
pathetically "seriously concerned" for all who are victims of the
repressive regimes come to their senses and see that here UNDER THEIR
RULE and WITHIN THEIR SPHERE OF RESPONSIBILITY terrorists are carrying
out a NEW WAVE OF ETHNIC CLEANSING directly under the protection of the
international "humanitarian mission"?

The SNC is cognizant of the fact that Albanian terrorism cannot be
defeated overnight but the international community bears direct
responsibility for its development and continued existence during the
post-war period.

The international community has CONCEALED and DIRECTLY
ASSISTED Albanian terrorism under the guise of a WAR OF LIBERATION; now,
incapable of keeping it under control, it has institutionalized it in
the form of the Kosovo Protection Corps. Albanian terrorists who
previously carried out executions, took over municipalities by force,
stole Serb and Romany property, set on fire and burned while KFOR was
putting up its tents, were declared overnight to be firefighters and
members of a civil protection corps even though they continue to carry
out illegal actions.

It is become clear that the ESSENCE of the failure of the international
community in Kosovo and Metohija lies in the fact that their entire
strategy for the resolution of the Kosovo problem is based on the idea
of the ALBANIAN VICTIM and SERBIAN EXTREMISM. True, Milosevic's
state-sponsored terrorism had to be confronted but definitely not by
turning the blind eye towards the ethnic Albanian terror against Serbs
and non-Albanian communities in Kosovo. This is the platform on which
the international missions of KFOR and UNMIK were built which in more
than a year in Kosovo are incapable of recognizing acts of classic
terrorism but continue to talk about the frustrated Albanians who are
driven each day to kill some child or woman or to set a church on fire
in order to calm their frustration. This philosophy is not only IMMORAL
but leads directly to an escalation in extremism among Albanians, who in
the end will turn on the international missions themselves, like Osma
bin Laden and Hamas turned on their former sponsors.

In the end, the Western governments want to forget about Kosovo and to
avoid direct confrontation with terrorism, knowing full well that
Western democracy still has no answer to terrorism in its own countries,
let alone in the brutal Balkans. Does this mean that the Serbs,
Romanies, Bosniacs and moderate Albanians are to be sacrificed to the
insatiable terror of the credo of a Greater Albania? We don't want to
believe that this is the case but it is blatantly apparent that the
Western governments ARE NOT prepared to call Albanian terrorism by its
true name ONLY because they would be forced to fight it, too, as they
are fighting against terrorism in its own countries.
