Dear Mahboob,
I agree with you. I know some stupid people write nonsense to tarnish the image of US involvement in Bosnia. Salaam and Peace. Fazil To: islamc...@yahoogroups.comfrom: Date: Wed, 4 Feb 2009 01:00:31 -0800Subject: RE: Bismillah [IslamCity] Bosnia: Living example of West's Muslim-hatred Dear Author: Salam. This account is mostly filled with highly inaccurate and biased information. US help--although late--was instrumental in bringing about peace in the Balkans. Some Muslims lost their morality and like a crying baby clamoring always a victim attitude--a far cry from Islamic values. Allah dislikes ungrateful people like this author. Go and ask Bosnian or Kosovar about American help. Kosovars calls former President Clinton as "Baba Clinton" (Father Clinton). If this misinformed author goes to Kosovar and acts like a crying baby, he would not come out alive. Stop sending this type of nonsense and wasting people's time. Burning of the mosque is deplorable but for that the Western people cannot be blamed. Many Arab governments like Saddam and Gaddafi supported Serbs during the crisis. Even Mubarak alerted America about Iranian shipment of arms to Bosnia. Only Turkey, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia helped Bosnia along with the US. For two years, I was on the Bosnia Task Force in the US and therefore write this with some knowledge and evidence. May Allah give Muslim Ummah wisdom and manners.

The incident reminds the Muslim Bosnian of their genocide during invasion of Muslim-majority Bosnia-Hercegvina by Christian Serbs and Croats in 1992-95. During that period more than 276 mosques were destroyed; over 176 Muslim scholars (mostly mosque imams) were killed - in addition to over 200,000 Muslim butchered; over 60,000 Muslim teenage girls and women raped and over two million Muslims were forced out of their homes to take refuge in neighbouring countries. The western countries armed and supported Serb army and Croat army while put armed embargo against UN member Bosnia-Hercegvina - in case some Muslim country or Jihadi group tried to come to the rescue of Bosnian Muslims. NATO played its part of disarming band of Muslim fighters, who were protecting Muslim-majority towns and villages. The inhabitants were then herded into so-called ‘Safe Heaven’ that became slaughterhouses - the most notorious one being Srebrenica massacre in July 1995 - when more than 8,000 Muslim men, women and boys were butchered in cold blood. The world only knew about this western racim and hatred toward Muslims only when tens of thousands of women and young girls straggled into Tuzla after walking for tens of miles across mountain passes. The mass-murderer Radovan Karadzic was captured last July while living in disguise in Belgrade. However, the other war-criminal General Ratko Mladic is still at large and is believed to be protected by Serbian Army. The western UN peacekeepers were no exception to Muslim-hatred and racism. General Lewis MacKenzie, Canadian head of UN peacekeeping force in Bosnia-Hercegvina was charged for sexually molesting four Muslim women held by Serbian forces in a prison camp in a Sarajevo suburb. Western press painted Bosnian president Alija Izetbegovic (d. 2003) as “Islamic fundamentalist”, whose aim is to establish an Islamic state within Europe and Iran’s radical Islamic government contributed US$500,000 towards his presidency campaign and later supplied US$300-500 million worth of arms to Muslim-dominated government - shipped via Croatia. Everything was going okey for the western world as long as the Serbs were capturing more and more Muslim territory - but when Bosnian forces started pushing them back - the West played it US card - and in late 1995, US president Bill Clinton dispatched some 20,000 US troops to Bosnia to stop Bosnian recovering their lost territory while capturing some Serbian towns and villages. Then came the Dayton Agreement (sponsored by Clinton administration), which in fact destroyed Bosnian Muslim people ever having an independent country of their own. The current Republic of Bosnia-Hercegovina is a federation of three autonomous regions - Bosniak (34%), Serb (48%), and Croats (18%). Bosnia has a rotating presidency. While Bosnians are still the largest community in the federation - they continue to suffer attacks from fellow Christian Serbs and Croats. Bosnian Muslims follow Sufi school (85% Sunni and 15% Shias). The “Iranian experts” and “Mujahideen” has long left the country but Iranian embassy still keeps the largest staff among IOC countries and is involved in several reconstruction projects. Servians hatred of Islam goes beyond the Battle of Kossova. Unlike most of Balkan Muslim communities - “Bosnian Muslims are not Turkic but natives belonging to a heretical Christian sect, called Bogomiles who from the 13th century had been exposed to the persecution of the Roman Catholics and against whom Popes (Honorius III in 1221, GregoryIX in 1238, Innocent IV in 1246, and Benedict XII in 1337) had on several occasions preached a Crusade. In 1325, Pope John XXII wrote a letter to King Stephen of Bosnia to exterminate his subjects belonging to the Bogomile community. In the 15th century - the sufferings of Bogomiles became so intolerable that their priests appealed to the Muslim Turks, whose religion they found much closer to their beliefs than the Church - to deliver them from their unhappy conditions. So when Sultan Muhammad II invaded Bosnia in 1463 - the Catholic king found himself deserted by his subjects,” - Professor T.W. Arnold in book ‘The Preaching of Islam’, p.198. After the conquest, most Bogomiles embraced Islam in large numbers willingly, knowing the fate of the little Muslim community of local converts that was rooted out of Hungary about a century ago. However, they did know that over 350 years later (1703) on the orders of Bishop Daniel Petrovich, the Montenegrin Muslims, who refused to forswear Islam and embrace Christianity - were massacred on Christmas Eve, in cold blood (E.I. Clark quoted by T.W. Arnold in his book). Bosnian nobility rapidly rose into high favour under Ottoman rule - so much so that between the years 1544 and 1611 nine persons of Bosnian origin became the Grand Vizier (prime minister). http://rehmat1.wordpress.com/2009/01/09/bosnia-hercegvina-living-example-of-wests-muslim-hatred/ Windows Live™: E-mail.
