BBC: Bosnia-Hercegovina has stripped almost 400 people of citizenship as part of an investigation into foreign fighters who settled in the country after the war.

Bosnian media sees the investigation as a part of a drive against terrorism requested by the US.

Bosnia's government says those involved came from Turkey, Egypt, Syria, Algeria, Tunisia, Sudan and Russia. Bosnia tackles ‘foreign fighters’ by Nicholas Walton

Mark - Years ago, before I knew anything about Islam, I condmened Milosevic's "ethnic cleansing", brutality, and "genocide." We didn't realize that Serbia served as a natural buffer on the frontier between the press of the Islamic masses that were once again attempting to enter Europe's flank.

We made the mistake because memories have been sanitized or erased in the name of multiculturalism and kumbaya Christian tolerance.

Fabian-style gradualism has ushered in the poison of socialism, multiculturalism, and the quiet jihad, incremental Islamization of all things.

Europeans, Britons are most at risk. Yet their world view has been altered, they have been literally disarmed so that resisters now will be forced to use brickbats and garden trowels, while the invaders are found to have chemicals, and even submachine guns.

Governments won't help. Last evening I was viewing a documentary on the necessity of vigilance committes which formed to take care of "rough business" when people had no access to government agencies because they were not in existence, or located too far away to help. They became infamously known as vigilantes, gaining a bad reputation for their excesses which were made in response to the excesses of the bad people and events they were forced to police on their own.

The point is: eventually we will be forced to action if government either can't or won't respond to protect us from certain threats, particular individuals or groups that are allowed to run roughshod over the rest of us. If we don't, we will deserve to swept into the dustbin of history for inaction and cowardice.

Such characters cannot surely be allowed unfettered access to travel within Europe.

Well, RR, they would surely have had it until now.

I think many mistakes were made at that time. The Serbs had a long history of dealing with Muslims; and whilst I certainly do not condone ethnic cleansing, I think we might have been more than a little harsh on them. I felt we were being so at the time, for we had little understanding of the circumstances surrounding the events there.
