What Now, My Heart?
David Binder writes compellingly about the Kosovo crisis. Back in the 1990s the world swallowed a story about lily-white Croatians and Albanians and pitch-blacks Serbs; the few (like Binder) who stood up for the truth saw their careers destroyed. And now Kosovo itself is being destroyed, being turned into a Mohammedan state in the middle of Europe. Christians are being murdered; monasteries are being sacked.
Of course, we’ve been here before: the Iberian and Balkan Peninsulas were once both ruled by Mohammedans. Christian sons were stolen from their families to be forcibly converted and turned into janissaries. New churches were forbidden to be built; old churches were forbidden to be repaired. Christians had to pay a special tax and were treated as second-class citizens in the courts of law.
We’ve been here before, and we’ve recovered before. Will we recover again?
