Well, It Would Have Been a Good Religion Question…

By Sarah Posner

…ut religion and women’s rights are also key issues in any foreign policy debate. Obama touched on them briefly, and Romney only in passing.

It’s also at the heart of the Serbian claim to Kosovo, which is unquestionably the birthplace of Serbian Orthodoxy and the heartland of medieval Serbia. In addition, the sense that it’s ultimately the Serbs who have been, in the broad view of history, displaced and targeted for genocide is the principal reaso…
