This Muslim-majority country would have voted with Trump on Jerusalem embassy move
By Jack Moore On 1/5/18 at 1:08 PM

The president of Kosovo said the Balkan statelet would have supported President Donald Trump's decision to relocate the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, which would have made it the only Muslim-majority nation to do so.

The move, which has angered the Muslim world, means the U.S. effectively recognizes the contested city as the capital of Israel. Palestinians seek East Jerusalem as the capital of any future state. The territory, which Israel captured in the 1967 Six-Day War, hosts some of the holiest shrines in both Islam and Judaism.

But Hashim Thaçi, a former paramilitary leader who fought in the Kosovo War against the Serbs and is nicknamed Gjarpëri, or "The Snake," recently told the Albanian newspaper Express that if his country was handed full membership of the global body, it would vote "all the time" with the U.S., even on the resolution motioned last month to protest Trump's decision.

For the record, I found an article from a few months back that said Kosovo is the most pro-American country in the world.

I mainly did not post it because quite a few of the Kosovar Muslims have been involved in terrorism, mainly going to Syria/Iraq to fight for ISIS.
