President Clinton has gotten the U.S. involved in a war–Kosovo–whose background and history he has not informed the American people about because he does not know what he is doing due to the secular blindness of the American government. In Kosovo and throughout the Balkans, we are dealing with religious warfare, the demarcation line between Christianity and Islam. Unless Americans understand this clearly, they will never understand anything of the situation there.
Kosovo has always been part of Serbia. In 1389 the Serbs were defeated in Kosovo by the Ottoman Islamic Empire, and for more than 600 years, Orthodox Serbs were oppressed, forcibly converted and persecuted by Islamic Ottomans. Hence the 90 percent of Albanian Muslims in Kosovo are there by force of arms, and the war there is essentially a religious war. For U.S. forces to become entangled in that kind of war is a war without end, without result, without exit. That is what awaits Americans in Kosovo.
Mr. Clinton calls the Serbs aggressors. In their own country? That is irrational and absurd. Civilians are being killed, but compared with, for example, Sudan, Kosovo is absolutely nothing. If Mr. Clinton were really worried about humanitarian help, consider the following. In the last 15 years, Sudan’s death toll of more than 2 million is far greater than Rwanda’s 800,000, Bosnia’s 300,000 and Kosovo’s 2,000 combined.
The predominantly Christian population in South Sudan is subject to torture, rape, slavery and starvation for its refusal to convert to Islam. Christian children are routinely sold into slavery, and Muslims who dare to convert to Christianity are faced with the death penalty. But hardly a word of this in the Western press because Sudan’s war is a religious war, as is Kosovo’s, which is on a much smaller scale. It is the secular myopia of the West that is horrified by a few thousand civilian deaths in a civil war in Kosovo while millions of Christians perish in another civil-religious war in Sudan, which disturbs the U.S. government not at all.
The situation in Kosovo is not good guys versus bad guys. It is a profoundly religious war that goes back hundreds of years that we are getting ourselves into. There can be no peace there until one side wins. By taking the Albanian-Muslim side in that civil war, the U.S. has become the enemy of all Orthodox Christians, and Russia.
I, for my part, will never consent to such American action, and I will do all in my power to see to it that it is defeated.
