[NYC-L] FW: Could you distribute

[SimonVukel at aol.com]

Regarding Isa Blumi's email, I have to admit I haven't watched enough 
basketball lately to see what Divac has been doing on the court, so I can't 
comment on that without seeing it for myself.  If in fact he has been 
fluanting a Serb symbol of hatred, then he should be taken to task for it.  
Thankfully we live in a free country and he can do as he wishes (as 
unfortunate as his actions may be), but as Isa states, his team members and 
his fans should at least be made aware of what that symbol potentially 
represents before they join him in its expression.  

Nevertheless, I do have an issue with Isa Blumi's attempt to portray this as 
a Muslim issue.  Serb aggression knew no religious boundaries -- Albanian 
Christians and other non-Serb Christians were just as equally slaughtered as 
Muslims, so it is unfortunate that Isa make this a call to arms, so to speak, 
for Muslims.  I would encourage all Albanians to resist any effort to make 
what happened in Kosova a religious issue.  It was not Christian vs. Muslim.  
It was Serb vs. Albanian.  And whether one believes in God, Allah, Yahweh, or 
none at all, let's all pray and hope that Kosova one day truly be free, and 
that the nations of the Balkans can one day come to a peaceful understanding. 
 They don't have to love each other, but no one's going anywhere, so they 
might as well learn to live together.

Have a good weekend everyone.
