Radical Islam in Kosovo

Only a small percentage of the Kosovars adhere to radical Islam. But that doesn't mean that is hasn't influence. Balkanalysis' Christopher Deliso has an article about it under the title Lingering Security Concerns in Kosovo, as Imam Attacked by Radical Islamists.

Aprt from discussing a few incidents where Wahabists tried forcefully to influence imam election, the article also discusses the influence of muslim radicals on Kosovo's judiciary: "Most significant, however, was a report that mid- to upper-level judicial appointments in certain regions of Kosovo, as well as other civil sector positions, were being given to fundamentalist sympathizers.".

The article continues with discussing the continuing influx of foreign money to finance Wahabism and its effect. But it is rather vague on the exact source of the money or the quantity.
