Serbia court jails Islamic extremists
The Belgrade District Court sentenced the leader of the group to 13 years in prison, two were given eight years each, one received 7-1/2 years, two received seven years each, and the other six men received terms ranging from six months to three years, Belgrade's B92 Web site said.
The indictment said the Wahhabis group was plotting terrorist activities against the state of Serbia in the 2006-07 period, including the killing of Muamer Zukorlic, a Muslim religious leader in the town of Novi Pazar, in southern Serbia.
Novi Pazar is the chief town of the predominantly Muslim Sandzak region, which borders Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro and Kosovo.
Serbian police began arresting the group members in March 2006 and they went on trial in Belgrade in January 2008.
According to Wikipedia Wahhabism is a conservative form of Sunni Islam that is popular in Saudi Arabia, where it was founded in the 18th century.

I hope you weren't refering to me when you said, "only an Idiot would cite wiki as a definitive source"!
I agree with you! The only reason I suggested wikipedia was because the article ITSELF was referring to it!
And whichever authentic, reliable, source you choose will still tell you Wahabis are merely a devout group in Saudi, NOT extremists!

WOW! The country whose president was Slobodan Milošević, world's biggest terrorist, and who was charged by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia with crimes against humanity and genocide against the Muslims of Croatia, Bosnia, and Kosovo, is actually accusing Muslims of "extremism"!
And we're supposed to believe them!
Fafasmom is right: ignorance is a disease!

Why don't you keep your ignorance to yourself? Read the history of Serbia to find out how they tried to completely wipe out the area's entire Muslim population, how many they massacred, and how many they falsely accused of extremism.
And while you're at it, go to wikipedia and read the definition of "Wahhabis" to find out of it really means extremist, or merely devout Sunni Muslim.
Ignorance is really a plague in this world.

Will the non-radical Muslim community express an opinion or keep their heads in the sand? Is it true or not true that the radicals are reinterpreting the Koran or not that rationalizes the killing of any non-Muslim with world-wide sponsored terror?
