Hey guys, new to the forum but im not new to this world
I posted this so i could bring up an issue that is very important to me and that would like to share with you.
In the NATO led offensive agaisnt Serbia, the Serbian people were portrayed as a bunch of butchers trying to create a pure state (CNN). And i do not blame you if you were influenced by this.
Here i come to tell both sides of the story, so then you can make your stance towards this.

Fighting for God: Ottoman Occupation
The Serbs have been fighting a war for the last 600 years, this all started when King Lazar with a coalition of men met the Turkish commander at Kosovo. (Kosovo at that time was 100% serbian state)
The Serbs did not just fight for Serbia that day, they thought for Christianity. Serbia was the frontline between Islam and Christ, and the Serbs never stopped fighting.
After that the Serbs went 500yrs under Ottoman occupation, the Serbian Culture, Society and Literature was destroyed.
There were mass executions, torture and horrific scenes of mans brutality. Not only did the Ottomans push the Christian population to a near catastrophic level
They recruited Janissaries, they took Christian boys from the age of 14 and converted them into Islam and made them kill Serbs.
They also conerted over 70% of Albania's population to Islam,
One instance of Ottoman Brutality is "Celekula"... This is where the Turks entered the city of Nis and killed thousands of its inhabitants... They did not just kill them. in fact they made a Tower out of them...
The Serbs have been fighting against the Ottomans for 500yrs and finally got their Freedom in the early 1900's but a very large price...
World War II
Although the Croatians, Bulgars, Albanians allied with the Nazis... Serbia fought them
This could have been the worst event for Serbian history, The Croatians promised Hitler/Mussolini that they will convert 1/3, kill 1/3, expell 1/3 of all Serbs living near Croatia...
And they Did...
NOTE: I can not publish the pictures of this because they are too horrific but if you have a strong stomach go here [/url]http://images.google.com.au/images?q=jasenovac&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&start=0&sa=N But this was not the end, the Alb...hat did not end, it never ends for the Serbs http://www.kosovo.com/pogrom_march/podujevo2/page_01.htm Communist Occupation I do not ne...what little they had left. Peace be with you
