I ran across a story of the ill will the Saudi Wahhabis creat in the Balkans but lost it in the blogoblur. Thankfully, Julia Gorin has reported on Chris Delio's book in which he recounts Wahhabi bulldozing in Kosovo of Ottoman-era buildings not to their liking, as well as their taking sledgehammers to gravestones of ancestors of local Muslims.
She's not weeping into her pillow, however, seeing this as the price the local Albanian Kosovars have had to pay for "accepting Islamic help in [their] nationalist separation from the larger infidel society."
