Consequently, the question chosen to be the title of this article relates only to the non- Muslim countries. Well, before anything else, let's remind ourselves the joyless fact that according to the majority of the experts Europe is doomed to become a territory controlled by Radical Islam. This fact means that the Balkan states as a part of Europe, (although not well known, well beloved, or well respected one), are doomed as well. The only open question is WHEN the Balkan area is supposed to be thoroughly Islamized- together with the rest of the continent, or prior to that?
 
Arguably, the most respected scholar among the experts, Bernard Lewis, is also the most magnanimous one, as far as the length of the process is concerned. The famous Princeton based scholar predicts that the Radical Islam will swallow Europe at the end of this century.
 
There are however, different and equally convincing voices carrying even more disturbing message. Those messengers do believe that History wouldn't be so generous with the amount of time the Europeans will have at their disposal in order to prevent, or at least to postpone, the loss of the national, cultural and religious identity of the countries where they were born. In his ground breaking work” The Coming Balkan Caliphate”, for instance, the journalist and writer Christopher Deliso, has issued a warning that the  Islamization of the Balkans has its own dynamics able to accelerate the process .
 
The creation of political structure based on the belief system of the radical Islamists would eliminate for ever all achievements of the European civilization in the course of the last five hundred years. The reason behind such discouraging statement is really simple:  according to the fanatics inspired by Radical Islam, every aspect of the human life has been personally regulated by God himself and has been revealed to the ignorant mankind as early as Seventh Century AD by His Prophet… Consequently, there is no room whatsoever for human contribution to any aspect of government.
 
It would be interested to know what the Islamists think about the chances they have to achieve their main goal, which, of course, is nothing short of complete global domination. The one this author has asked, (who happened to be an young and well educated man, by the way), shot back his answer right away without a second of hesitation or reflection: “Once America goes down, the rest of the world will follow shortly”.
 
This answer is bringing about another important question though: if this statement is true, then should we accept the premise that the rampant anti- Americanism reigning supreme in many parts of Europe is helping the advancement of the Radical Islam? The obviously positive answer doesn't solve the problem either, because the American policy makers themselves are responsible for mistakes that are bringing about new  levels of anti- Americanism.
 
Case in point was, (and still is!), the US policy in the Balkan area. The American move against Serbia with regard to the ethnic conflict ravaging Kosovo has been largely supported by the American public opinion on moral grounds. The intervention has been perceived by too many people as a noble effort directed at the ethnic cleansing performed by the Milosevic government against the Albanian  residents of Kosovo. There was abundant evidence of repression and suffering inflicted on innocent people that has been   presented on all TV channels .
 
Very soon however, the situation has been reversed. A seemingly endless violence has been initiated and escalated against the Serbian community of Kosovo. Unlike the previous situation though, the ethnic cleansing of the Serbian residents of the area never attracted the attention of the American journalists and commentators.
 
The printed and electronic media in the United States has remained indifferent to this important dimension of the events. There wasn't on American TV, (and still there isn't!), any coverage of the devastated Serbian homes, the desecrated Serbian churches and monasteries. The media remained silent about the tragedy of the Serbian refugees, who, indisputably, have been victims of an obvious and vicious ethnic cleansing of worst possible kind.
 
With the proven lack of a correct, well prepared, and well executed Balkan strategy, the United States of America is facing future  destabilization of an extremely sensitive part of Europe seriously threatened by the main American enemy. As far as the other side of the problem is concerned, it is time for the Balkan intellectuals to try to bring to the American people all dimensions of  the truth about the realities of their region.
