Scope

The scope of this article is Terrorism in the Balkans, that is, contemporary (post-war) Balkans. A search shows the prevalent use of the term — Islamist terrorism.--Zoupan 06:57, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just because it's the prevalent use of the term in the mainstream doesn't make it factually incorrect to say that other non-Islamist forms of terrorism are relevant as well, especially to Bosnia-Herzegovina and the Balkan region in general, where the Yugoslav Wars are still fresh and divisive groups still persist and thus very well is relevant. The definition of terrorism is: "the use of violence, or threatened use of violence, in order to achieve a political, religious, or ideological aim". It is not "Islamists who use violence or threatened to use violence in order to achieve a political, religious, or ideological aim". Bideuttar (talk) 07:14, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Do not revert when discussion is underway. Last warning given. The scope of the article is what it is, Terrorism; events in the Yugoslav wars are irrelevant. Read Definitions of terrorism. What you are doing is Wikipedia:Content forking, copy-pasting cherry-picked massacres by Bosnian Serbs against Bosnian Muslims (?). That is not OK. I suggest you stop it. There are several articles already dealing with the war and war crimes.--Zoupan 07:35, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Then title it Radical Islamist Terrorism in the Balkans, not Terrorism in the Balkans. Terrorism can refer to terrorism from many different factions, not just from Islamists. I'm "cherry-picking" massacres where tens of thousands were raped and killed, you're cherry-picking a couple deaths? And the article you shared proves my point. Bideuttar (talk) 07:41, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, moving to Radical Islamism and Islamic terrorism in the Balkans.--Zoupan 07:58, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Bosnian and Albanian Muslims Were Supported by US / NATO forces before and During the Yugoslav Wars

The second phrase :" While there is a significant community of Muslims in the Balkans, Wahhabism only began to spread after the Yugoslav Wars " is false ! We all know that US / NATO forces have supported the Bosnian and Albanian Muslims from the very beginning of the Yugoslav Wars. Bin Laden was an US ally and received even the honorable Bosnian citizenship for his "deeds" that were cutting Serbian heads with US/NATO help. Serbian churches were burned down in Kosovo in 1999. Most of Serbian cementeries in Kosovo were destroyed BEFORE of the Yugoslav Wars - here, is the main reason for Kosovo war.
