When Sultan Mehmet V dislodged in Üsküp, the dusty capital of the Islamic Kossova province known today as Skopje, "5000 Albanians had come to the town from villages up to twenty kilometers away" to greet and cheer the Islamic Claliph, the last out of the Ottoman dynastic succession in the Islamic Caliphate to have officially declared Jihad against allied Christian powers of the West in WWI.

Sultans of the Islamic Caliphate were referred to as merciful and benevolent because those who professed fealty to the Caliphate, like the Muslim Albanians, were richly rewarded with plunders of booty from local Christians, the raya, who held no earthly fealty but only a lachrymal dream of liberty.

...and many more fealty Muslim Albanians came to cheer the Caliph Sultan Mehmet V when he dislodged in Pristina, today's capital of Kosovo, to pray at the tomb of the Muslim Sultan Murad I whose army in 1389 killed Christian Serb defenders, "numerous as locusts" as Islamic chroniclers record, and through capture of Kosovo occupied the Balkans.

"In the newspapers, 150,000 or even 200,000 Albanians were reported to be assembling in the plain. The British consul in Üsküp expected 100,000 to turn up. After three and a half hours, the Sultan arrived in Pristina, where the mass of people awaiting him was reported by the Unionist press as having grown to 300,000," reported British council Hugh to his colleague in Salonica Lamb on June 19.

Writes Edwin Pears in his memoirs: "many more had wanted to come, but that they were stopped for fear of overcrowding."

Kosovo today, once again under Islamic occupation, is on the verge of getting the nominally Christian West to capitulate and legalize this conquest for Islam, marking the 1912-1999 period of Kosovo's liberty as a temporary blimp in the Islamic conquest of the infidel West that many Muslims across the globe see as the divinely inspired by the Muslim god called Allah.

"... for foreign Islamist proselytizers... Kosovo simply represents a spot on the map to be filled in between Albania and Bosnia - both of which had been successfully penetrated almost a decade earlier," write Chris Deliso in his book The Coming of the Balkan Caliphate.

"In April 2000, London's Sunday Telegraph reported that the KLA's 'divinely inspired' struggle against the Serbs was being extended through 'fundraising events... being held by mosques and internet groups," notes Deliso.

Resurrecting the old Caliphate, divinely inspired, is the modern Threat of Radical Islam to Europe and the West, the subtitle of Deliso's book.

It is the semantics of the resurrection of the Caliphate, and not the coming of it, that is the only criticism one can render of Chris Deliso's book, a superb compilation that spans the Balkan region with the eye of a knowledgeable traveler who brings the analysis of the modern Balkan drama of conflicts, each and every one involving Muslims.

"Right from the beginning [Deliso] shows how major political mistakes have boosted the spreading in the region of the most reactionary and backward interpretations of Islam," writes Loretta Napoleoni in the introduction to Deliso's book.

Backward perhaps, but the Caliphate brand of Islam was intelligent enough to identify the biggest dog in the region, the Serbs, and targeted them with an unprecedented media barrage in which this victim was made into an atrocious victimizer: in Bosnia, it is claimed, Muslims were victims of Serb aggression, and in Kosovo, Serbs initiated a non-existent genocide of Muslim Albanians.

Today, Bosnian Muslims outnumber Serbs, and in Kosovo, Serbs have been forced into NATO-monitored ghettos reminiscent of Jews in Nazi Germany.

Acutely aware of the Islamist spin on history, Deliso's book rejects dogmatically accepted notions of the region and analyzes the decisions policymakers made who's effects were, in a large part, based or supported by precisely the such spin.

"Indeed," writes Deliso "what the American policymakers in the Clinton administration failed to understand was that the military campaign was never the Islamists' real goal. While the United States sought to manipulate the wars in the Balkans... the foreign sponsors of the mujahedin had an entirely different vision. For them, the war... was just a handy excuse to get into the country and establish presence."

Six years after the Clinton-brokered Bosnian Peace Accords at Dayton, two out of the 19 Jihad veterans from the Bosnian war flew the hijacked planes into the New York Towers killing over 3,000 Americans.

Clinton's peace dividends in the Balkans came once again to the US when 4 Muslim Albanians, allegedly under threat of genocide by Serb forces in Kosovo, were evacuated by Clinton to the US where they organized a terror attack on the US military station at Fort Dix.

Far removed from any bloviating that pampers to the America-haters with a need for an ideological fix, Deliso's book is a concerned summary of a patriot with a knowledge of history and strategies that glitter in the Islamic eyes that see the West as the enemy to be conquered.

As the reporters in the West created a self reinforcing media whirlwind of a belief that the Balkan conflicts are ethnic without any Islamic dimension to it, fiercely independent, Deliso's book is not a pray to this reinforcing media loop that stealthily cloaks the Islamic infiltration into the region.

Paragraph after paragraph, Deliso lists strategies that Islamists in the Balkans use to infiltrate the region - from propaganda to the operationalization on the ground; from a preacher in the mosque to the institutions Islam controls in the region...

Even us, who deal with the Balkans on the daily basis, Deliso's book is a novelty because in it one finds gems that do not exist elsewhere:

- A reminder that the first Islamic suicide bombing in modern times was done by a soldier of the Bosnian Muslim Army.

- Osama bin Laden gave $600,000 of his personal money to fund terror cells among Albanians.

- Islamists are actively recruiting Muslim Albanians to attack NATO as they did "Serbs" but none have done yet pending American recognition of Kosovo's independence.

- Muslim Albanian warlord admits that Muslim Albanian violence in the region was "for territory - not because of some 'human rights' problem!"

- Helsinki Human Rights Committee was attacking Macedonia for denying bin Laden's charity an office in the capital Skopje.

... or this intelligence gem by Deliso: "'the Iranians are using video webcasts to beam lectures from Iran into Novi Pazar [Sadzak] Islamic university.'"

What are the small states of the Balkans to do with the treasonous Islamic minorities?

In the days of ancient Greece, tiny republics restricted the citizenship rights to the republic's founding ethnos with rights of expulsion of the treasonous minorities. Inexperienced in legalities of oaths and pledges and precluded in enforcing any citizenship laws because foreign powers such as US preclude them so, today's republics of the Balkans have less rights then the ones in the ancient Greece.

"While it was once better to be from the majority population, the imported arrival of Western 'human rights' and minority concerns has made minority status an economically and politically valuable position in certain countries," notes Deliso.

The point that Deliso's book is driving here is as politically pragmatic as is philosophical: can small Balkan republics, constituted on a republican consent rooted in the mores of common ethnos, sustain treasonous Muslim minorities that seek to displace them especially in the age when huge empire-like states - US, Canada, Russia and China - that are capable of absorbing and assimilating the minority, believe they can impose negligence of treason as an assimilation tactic onto small republics.

It is noteworthy that it was these little Balkan Republican states - Serbia and Macedonia - both held under siege by the Islamic sword of the minority Muslim Albanian tribesman, that wholeheartedly cheered the Coalition of the Willing initiated by George Bush's call to fight Islamic terrorism. In this Washington's call, these small Christian Republics of the Balkans finally saw their salvation against the Caliphate that seeks to dismember them by the local treasonous Islamic proxy.

US recognition of Islamic Kosovo will be the road that will dismember these small Republics of the Balkans and turn them into a highway express that will no longer be the coming of the Caliphate as Chris Deliso warns in his book, but the signal that the Caliphate is upon us all.

Will America betray Republicanism in the Balkans; will America betray itself?
