Ann Coulter: I Have No Opinion

Ann Coulter: I have no opinion". Now there's a headline.

Julia Gorin uses Ann Coulter's "I have no opinion" reply to questions about Kosovo and the Ukraine to again explain the complex and almost unbelievable desire of the US and EU to create a radical Muslim state in Europe.

While the situation is complex and you "can't tell the players without a scorecard", Julia goes into the necessary detail and provides voluminous examples of the Islamic invasion of the Kosovo region. If you follow the links in this article, you will gain an accurate picture of the insanity of Western support for the Islamification of Kosovo.

Now, I'm waiting for Ann Coulter's reply.


FROM POLITICALMAVINS.COM:

Ann Coulter: I Have No Opinion

By Julia Gorin (bio)
Penn State’s student newspaper The Daily Collegian reported on Ann Coulter’s hour-long speech there this month:
For possibly the first time in her career as a conservative commentator, Ann Coulter had nothing to say about a political issue.
“I have no opinion,” she told a student who asked her about Kosovo and Ukraine. “That may be the first time those words have passed my lips.”
During her hour-long speech to a crowd of more than a thousand last night in HUB Alumni Hall, though, Coulter spoke candidly about her opinions on a variety of controversial subjects ranging from the war in Iraq to global warming to terrorism.
The usual, in other words. The easy stuff. And on the easy, day-to-day stuff, every conservative loudmouth in the country has a strong and ready opinion. But on the fact that in the Kosovo giveaway of 2008 we’ve just repeated the Munich surrender of 1938 — nothing.
While Americans can’t be expected to have strong opinions on whether the Ukraine gets an invitation to NATO or not, the Kosovo question is a different story. So let me see if I have this non-opinion on Kosovo straight: The U.S. is aggressively creating another Muslim state in Europe, openly calling for a heightened Islamic presence on the continent, and Ann Coulter has no opinion.

In the case of Kosovo, it’s a Muslim state whose leaders and inhabitants have killed or cleansed most of the Christians (and Muslims who didn’t mind being part of a larger Christian nation) from its borders. But Coulter has no opinion.
In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, investigators flew to Albania after discovering a cell there that was connected to the hijackers — and she has no opinion.
In the weeks before 9/11, six Albanian-American fundamentalists arrived in the Kosovo village of Skenderaj, telling locals that the U.S. would soon be attacked. And Ann Coulter has nothing to say about it. (Not coincidentally, Skenderaj was a stronghold during the 1998-99 war of America’s past and present ally, the KLA.)

Less than a year ago, four out of six jihadists arrested for planning to massacre American soldiers at Ft. Dix were Albanian — the weapons provider among them (Agron Abdullahu) having been sheltered at Ft. Dix during the 1999 resettlement process. And still Ann Coulter has no opinion on whether this kind of behavior deserves American-enforced independence for Abdullahu’s horde. That we fought alongside this former Kosovo sniper in Bill Clinton’s war of aggression is for some reason insignificant to this and all other pundits.
We’re well post-9/11, and George W. Bush has been replicating and completing a strong-arm war of might-makes-right started by Bill Clinton — whom Ann Coulter distrusts and despises — and it elicits a shrug from this opinionist.
After we helped the ultranationalist Albanians with the Kosovo leg of their jihad, they moved on like clockwork to destabilize Macedonia and southern Serbia using the same terrorist provocations they employed in Kosovo, in Macedonia winning U.S. support — but Ann has no opinion.

Bin Laden set his sights on, and traveled throughout, the Balkans in the 90s, meeting with Albanian leaders (as he did with Bosnian ones), and assigning al Qaeda capos to different areas there, including Ayman al-Zawahiri’s brother Mohammed.
Today, America solidifies this radical base for bin Laden, while presiding over the construction of 400 new Saudi- and UAE-financed mosques amid systematic church destruction. But this isn’t significant enough for Ann Coulter to have an opinion on.
The U.S. is redefining the concept of the nation-state along ethnic boundaries, with implications for every region of the globe including Southern California and every other state of the Union that has majority ethnic enclaves, but don’t look to Ann Coulter to have an opinion on that.

The U.S. is dismantling principles of the international order that have guided and protected statecraft for sixty years, which is CURRENTLY being used as a precedent from India to Sri Lanka to Catalonia in Spain to the Galilee in Israel to Quebec to Vermont, but this isn’t opinion-worthy, apparently.
The American-backed “prime minister” of Kosovo oversaw the butchering of civilians for their organs during this war for “independence” and against “genocide” — among countless other creatively brutal exploits by the U.S.-anointed KLA — but Ann Coulter doesn’t have an opinion on that either.

Of course, “I have no opinion on that” sums up the negligence of the whole of American punditry, and explains why we’ve arrived at this staggering but ignored precipice in history. If even the intelligentsia — both Right and Left — has no opinion on a matter of such grave consequence to the free world, on issues as vital as “the sovereignty of countries with minority populations and the challenges to a basic principle of international law “, what hope is there for the rest of the country?

Busy trying to out-clever one another on the election-oriented petty issue du jour, the commentators haven’t noticed that the bottom has just fallen out from under Western civilization before their very eyes, as the international order is dismantled under their noses.
Once again, as in 2001 when we decided to back Albanian rebels against the Westward-facing, multi-ethnic nation of Macedonia — which took in 400,000 Albanian “refugees” from Kosovo — we see that it’s possible for America to be at war without its public or the public’s “hard-nosed” messengers noticing. Indeed, if our war on behalf of Muslims is against the expendable Slavs. it’s more than possible. It’s applauded.
Never do our “thinkers” stop to ask: Why all the sweating by world powers — foremost by the U.S. — over such a small, seemingly insignificant Balkan province? Why the absolutist approach (e.g. Condi Rice: “Kosovo must be independent”; Nicholas Burns: “Independence is the only solution…”)? After all, everyone seemed to get the joke last June when George W. Bush found his only friend on the planet in Albania. The answer is that the United States of America is being blackmailed in Kosovo. The U.S., bitten by the Balkan bug, today serves as a mafia enforcer for the criminal gang that is Greater Albania. Such is the position we have allowed ourselves to be placed in.

Whether you like her or not, Ann Coulter is considered an informed American. Her “no opinion” on Kosovo speaks volumes about how much the rest of our populace knows or cares about this underappreciated catalyst for the demise of Western values and civilization. I’m reminded of the time I pitched a book project to a conservative imprint at a major publishing house, about the fallout and implications of America’s taking all the wrong sides in the Yugoslav wars. The editor replied, “Try a European publisher. Americans aren’t interested in other countries.”

Albaniran Proceeds on Course

Julia Gorin continues her essentially one woman crusade (oops, there's that word) to inform the world of the radical Islamic invasion of Albanian society. Now the Saudis are donating a library consisting of radical Wahhabis books to a Mosque in the city of Vlora. And the Jihad beat goes on.

Note: "Albaniran", nice new word. How about Albarabia ?

FROM POLITICAL MAVINS .COM:

Albaniran Proceeds on Course
By Julia Gorin (bio)

One report from two sources on an Iranian foundation buying Albania. No one is reporting on this, so they themselves report on their activities and the progress their tentacles are making in Albania society:
Albanian Sadi Foundation establishes library in Vlora
TEHRAN — The Sadi Cultural Foundation in Albania has established a library in the tekyeh (place where ritual Shia Islamic ceremonies are practiced) of the city of Vlora and has presented it with a collection of cultural and religious books.
The Ahl-ul-Bait World Assembly also took part in the setting up of the library in the tekyeh which is one of the largest and most distinctive buildings of its type in Albania.
Head of the foundation Reza Karami said that the donation comprises hundreds of cultural and religious books, and a number of computers which were presented to the library in the presence of the head of the Tekyeh of the Bektashi Order in Albania, Baba Sadik Ibro.
He added that the foundation has previously established libraries in tekyehs located in Kosovo and Macedonia with the assistance of the Bektashi Order and is planning to set up more in the future.
Baba Sadik Ibro, who also participated in the book donation ceremony, expressed his appreciation and remarked that equipping libraries with cultural and religious books meets one of society’s greatest needs and is especially useful for young people.
Albanians always balk when people bring up these connections, insisting that such elements represent a tiny, negligible presence in Albanian society. At the same time, Albanians aren’t doing a thing to resist the ever growing and deepening infiltration of their society by the likes of Iran, Saudi Arabia and UAE. Then again, neither are we.

Terrorism: Ethnic Albanian Kosovar gets 20-month sentence for plot

This case creates many questions that do not seem to be answered in the MSM. The cast of conspirators shows that Muslims from many places and sects can work together to attack the West.

FROM ADNKRONOS.COM:


Terrorism: Ethnic Albanian Kosovar gets 20-month sentence for plot

New York, 1 April (AKI) - An ethnic Albanian (Muslim, ed.) from Kosovo has been sentenced to 20 months in jail by a United States court for his role in a terrorist plot to kill American soldiers in a military base, local media said on Tuesday.

The District court in Camden, New Jersey, on Monday sentenced Agron Abdulahu. He was a member of a terrorist group of six which was arrested last May for planning a terrorist attack on Fort Dix military base in New Jersey with the aim “to kill as many as possible American soldiers”. Abdulahu was charged with providing weapons and training for the group and pleaded guilty last October.
Why wasn't he charged with firearms law violations, each of which can have an automatic 5 year sentence? Let me answer that; he was the one-time head of the plot who turned on the chumps he recruited to get a deal from the prosecutors.


The other members of the group, three ethnic Albanian brothers from Macedonia, Elvir, Sain and Dritan Duka, were charged with “conspiracy to kill military personnel” and if convicted could get a life sentence. The same charges were pressed against Jordanian citizen Mohamad Shnewer and a Turk, Serdar Tatar

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has said there was no prove that the group was directly linked to other terrorist organizations. But al-Qaeda propaganda material was seized during raids of their apartments along with weapons and explosives.
So what? What does having or not having direct links to known terrorist groups have to do with anything? A terrorist is a terrorist, in this case Islamic terrorists hoping to advance global Jihad.


All six were illegal immigrants in the United States and were indoctrinated by radical Islam, the FBI concluded.
How the hell did they get here? Who helped them hide and supported them while they plotted mass murder?


Abdulahu’s lawyer Richard Coughlin was quoted as saying his client’s sentence was ”very fair”, because he hadn’t directly participated in the plot. “I had never thought for a single moment that they would really do it,” Abdulahu told the court, referring to the group’s plans.
I'd say 20 months for conspiracy to commit mass murder, attack a U. S. military installation and supplying weapons and training to commit Jihad is more than "very fair".

Bush Hands al-Qaeda the Key to Europe: Kosovo

This will prove out to be the greatest strategic mistake of the first decade of the 21st century. With America foolishly leading the way to new independent Islamic states of Kosovo, Albania and Bosnia, the rest of the EU and most of the world will follow. The details of how this will play out cannot be known, but what is obvious is that with this toe hold in Europe, the fall of the EU to Islam will be accelerated.
FROM POLITICALMAVINS.COM:

Bush Hands al-Qaeda the Key to Europe: Kosovo
By Julia Gorin (bio)
Three Muslim states now look forward to EU membership — Albania, Bosnia and Kosovo — all of them professing, as Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaci did to Israel’s Haaretz newspaper
recently, “The future of Kosovo and Albania together with the rest of the Western Balkan countries lies within the European Union…”
Indeed, they are grateful to the U.S. and UK and look forward to strengthening ties with Israel — while at the same time strengthening ties with the United Arab Emirates,
which pays 200 Euros a month to Albanian family members who adopt Wahhabism; while strengthening ties with Kuwait, which doesn’t allow any communications with Israel even by foreign journalists covering a war defending Kuwait from an Iraqi invasion; while stengthening ties with the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), a bloc of 57 Muslim-majority states, whose headquarters is in Saudi Arabia; and while strengthening ties with Iran.
Are the Albanians lying to someone here, or is it in fact possible to move closer to the West and integrate into the fabric of the EU while drawing closer to the opposite of the West and EU? You bet it’s possible. It’s called the macro infiltration of Europe which al Qaeda and Saudi Arabia have been waiting for breathlessly. And on February 17th the U.S. delivered it to them.
Britain and US join rush to recognise Kosovo . Kosovo’s government says it has secured promises of recognition from 100 countries, among them the 57 states of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference, which issued a collective statement of welcome to the new state yesterday.

The United States waited for Europe’s [conflicted] voices to be heard before issuing its own statement of recognition…Thousands of Nato peacekeepers were on high alert for violence following the declaration but the only serious injury reported was to a Norwegian soldier wounded by a stray bullet in a so-called “happy shooting” incident in Pristina.
The very first nation to recognize an independent Kosovo was Afghanistan, a “sovereign” country whose president wouldn’t be alive without his US Marine Praetorian Guard, as Jim Jatras wrote me yesterday, adding, “Or maybe Karzai is just giving a nod to the main marketing outlet for his country’s only viable export.”

Kosovo is a textbook example of the law of unintended consequences


Anne Applebaum looks at the likely consequences of an independent Kosovo. Kosovo will be another toehold for Islamists, especially the Whaabi. This puts an Islamic state within rocket range of central Italy. It also gives Islamists a springboard into the EU (I was going to say Europe, but that exists no more). Jihadi from around the world can jet into Kosovo and then take land transportation anywhere in the EU.

Just as important is the fact that other political entities will also want independence. The ramifications of all this will be felt in negative ways for decades to come.


FROM JEWISHWORLDREVIEW.COM:

Kosovo is a textbook example of the law of unintended consequences
By Anne Applebaum
As not everybody now remembers, the wars of Yugoslavia began not in Bosnia, not in Croatia, but in Kosovo. The chain of events that led to the Srebrenica massacre and the bombing of Belgrade started there, in the late 1980s, when Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic launched a series of repressive measures against this mostly Albanian, semi-independent, "autonomous province" within Serbia. These culminated in 1990, when Milosevic ended the semi-independence, revoked Kosovo's autonomy, installed a new police force, shut down Albanian newspapers, fired university professors, and generally inflicted economic and political chaos.

Milosevic's intention was to reassert Serbian and Orthodox dominance over Kosovo, the site of a historically significant battle between the Serbs and the Ottoman Empire in 1389 (the Serbs lost), and home to a genuinely substantial Serbian minority. And the result? This week, nearly two decades later, Kosovo — an Albanian-speaking, majority-Muslim state in which, it's safe to guess, Serbs will be less than fully welcome and no Orthodox church will be safe from vandalism — has just declared independence from Serbia. A more eloquent demonstration of the law of unintended consequences would be hard to find.

In fact, watching the crowds celebrate Saturday night in the streets of Pristina, I wondered there isn't a deeper lesson here for other would-be neighborhood bullies. Milosevic's stated goal was, after all, the greater glory of Serbia (he had other, unstated goals as well, such as the perpetuation of a communist-era power structure; but never mind). Spouting Serbian nationalism, he helped turned Serb minorities across Yugoslavia into mini-militias. They, in turn, inspired the creation of other mini-militias — Croatian, Bosnian, Albanian and others — which began fighting one another in a series of small, nasty wars.
