7th Bosnian Muslim Brigade, based in Zenica - the international Islamic mercenary force known as the mujahedeen


Alija Izetbegovic with memebrs of 7th Brigade
"... The first and foremost of such conclusions is surely the one on the incompatibility of Islam and non-Islamic systems. There can be no peace or coexistence between the "Islamic faith" and non- Islamic societies and political institutions. ... Islam clearly excludes the right and possibility of activity of any strange ideology on its own turf. Therefore, there is no question of any laicistic principles, and the state should be an expression and should support the moral concepts of the religion. ..." page 22 "The Islamic Declaration" book ("Islamska deklaracija"), written by Mr. Alija Izetbegovic, Bosnian Muslim leader.

In preparing the ground for the conflicts between Bosnian Cristians (Croats and Serbs) and Bosnian Muslims, residents of different Arab countries who in the B&H had recognized the elements and challenge of “a holy war” - jihad. Coming from different Arab countries, most of them were from Yemen, Algeria, Egypt, Tunisia and Afghanistan, and bringing with them experience from a war from some of the Islamic trouble spots.

Mujahedin, or «holy warriors», is a generic term for Muslim volunteers fighting in the former Yugoslavia. Many Mujahedin originate from Muslim countries outside the former Yugoslavia. It was reported that the Mujahedin began arriving in BiH as early as June 1992. (Tom Post & Joel Brand, «Help from the Holy Warriors», Newsweek, 5 October 1992, at 52). Reports on the number of Mujahedin forces operating in BiH vary, but it is unlikely that the Mujahedin forces have made a significant military contribution to the BiH Government's war effort (Christopher Lockwood, «Muslim Nations Offer Troops», Daily Telegraph, 14 July 1993, at 14. According to Lockwood, Muslim nations depended on Western logistical support to deliver troops to BiH. He concludes that the same logistical troubles which kept the Muslim troops promised in July of 1993 from joining UN forces in the UN declared «safe havens» also limited the number of Muslim volunteers in the BiH armed forces. He states that the number of Mujahedin in BiH never exceeded three or four hundred. See also Mohamed Sid-Ahmad, «Muslim World Between Two Fires», War Report, January 1993, IHRLI Doc. No. 63744. However, the Belgrade Daily, Vecernje Novosti, reported that as many as 30,000 Mujahedin were operating in BiH. «Other Reports in Brief: Muslims from Abroad Settling in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Belgrade Daily Claims», BBC, Summary of World Broadcasts, 19 September 1992. )

The Mujahedin forces came from several Muslim states and many of them were veterans of the Afghan war. (Andrew Hogg, «Arabs Join in Bosnia Battle», Sunday Times, 30 August 1992)

Reports submitted to the Commission of Experts alleged that the Mujahedin have been responsible for the mutilation and killing of civilians, rape, looting, the destruction of property, and the expulsion of non-Muslim populations. The deputy commander of the BiH Army, Colonel Stjepan Siber, has said, «it was a mistake to let them [the Mujahedin] here . . . They commit most of the atrocities and work against the interests of the Muslim people. They have been killing, looting and stealing.» Andrew Hogg, «Terror Trail of the Mujahedin», Sunday Times, 27 June 1993.

Several reports indicate that the Mujahedin were placed under the command of the BiH Army.(See «Some 400 Mujahedin Volunteers Fighting with Bosnian Muslims», Agence France Presse, 22 September 1992; Andrew Hogg, «Arabs Join in Bosnia Battle», Sunday Times, 30 August 1992; see also Charles McLoed, ECMM, «Report on Inter-Ethnic Violence in Vitez, Busovaca and Zenica», April 1993, IHRLI Doc. No. 20178- 20546, at 20207; Croatian Information Centre, Weekly Bulletin, No. 9, 4 October 1993, IHRLI Doc. No. 36434-36438, at 36435; US Department of State, 1993, IHRLI Doc. No. 62612-62877, at 62648, 62724, 62730, and 62756)

The Mujahedin forces were closely associated with the 5th Corps, the 6th and 7th Zenica Brigades, the 7th Travnik Brigade, and the 45th Muslim Brigade which belongs to the 6th Corps in Konjic of the Army of BiH (US Department of State, 1993, IHRLI Doc. No. 62612-62877, at 62648; see also Croatian Information Centre, Weekly Bulletin, No. 9, 4 October 1993, IHRLI Doc. No. 36434-36438, at 36435; «Continuing Clashes in Northwestern Enclave Reported from Both Sides», BBC, Summary of World Broadcasts, 14 December 1993.)

They also allegedly fought alongside the Muslim Police, the Krajiska Brigade from Travnik, units of Kosovo Muslims, Albanian soldiers, and paramilitary groups such as the «Green Legion» and the «Black Swans».(Charles McLoed, ECMM, Report on Inter-Ethnic Violence in Vitez, Busovaca and Zenica, April 1993, IHRLI Doc. No. 20178-20546, at 20207; Croatian Information Centre, Weekly Bulletin, No. 9, 4 October 1993, IHRLI Doc. No. 36434-36438, at 36435; US Department of State, 1993, IHRLI Doc. No. 62612-62877, at 62648, 62724, 62730, and 62756.)

Reports also indicate that the Mujahedin had the support of President Izetbegovic and his government. *57 This was demonstrated in the Bihac pocket, where the Mujahedin joined BiH forces loyal to Izetbegovic. Together, these forces battled separatist forces who entered into a separate peace treaty with Bosnian Serbs («Continuing Clashes in Northwestern Enclave Reported form Both Sides», BBC, Summary of World Broadcasts, 14 December 1993)

In Zenica, between 31 August and 2 September 1992, 250 Mujahedin troops allegedly come to BiH from Turkey, Qatar, Bahrain and Iran. These troops worked alongside the Green Legion and HOS paramilitary groups stationed in Zenica. The Mujahedin allegedly also operated a camp at Arnauti.(Charles McLeod, ECMM, Report on Inter-Ethnic Violence in Vitez, Buscovaca and Zenica, April 1993, IHRLI Doc. No. 29043-29131, at 29064; Biljaja Plavsic, Republic of Serbia Presidency, To Serbs All Over the World, 30 September 1992, IHRLI Doc. No. 48072- 48093, at 48081)

It was reported that a unit of the Mujahedin, called the «Guerilla», participated in the 16 April 1993 attack on Vitez and attempted to exchange 10 HVO hostages for foreign prisoners held in HVO prisons. (US Department of State, 1993, IHRLI Doc. No. 62612-62877, at 62629; see also Charles McLeod, ECMM, Report on Inter-Ethnic Violence in Vitez, Busovaca and Zenica, April 1993, IHRLI Doc. No. 29043-29131, at 29072 (attack on Vitez).

The Croatian Ministry of Defence is reported to have provided information about an event occurring in June 1993 -- a joint BiH/Mujahedin unit reportedly attacked Travnik, allegedly forcing 4,000 Croatian civilians and military personnel out of the town. (US Department of State, 1993, IHRLI Doc. No. 62612-62877, at 62650. Media reports however claim that Croats left Travnik voluntarily. The incident was investigated by an organization, which reported that the forceful eviction did not take place)

The Mujahedin allegedly fought alongside the 6th Muslim Brigade from Zenica and the Krajiska Brigade from Travnik. Witnesses stated that they saw Mujahedin operating in small patrols ahead of the approaching BiH troops.

According to HVO intelligence, Mujahedin forces arrived in Travnik sometime before June 1993 and came from Algeria, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran. The Mujahedin trained at a camp at Mehurici, where they were allegedly financed and equipped by a man named Abdulah, the owner of the «Palma» video store in Travnik. Once in town, the Mujahedin were linked to the Seventh Brigade of the BiH Army, and were reportedly assembled into units of 10 to 15 men, and moved about on regular patrols. The Mujahedin created tension in Travnik in the days prior to the attack on 3 June. One witness stated that the Mujahedin directed their actions towards the HVO personnel in town. They allegedly demonstrated, shouted slogans and fired their rifles in the air.

Mujahedin allegedly participated in the attack on Maljine in Novi Travnik on 8 June 1993, killing 20 to 30 HVO members and transporting Croatian women and children to the training centre at Mehurici.(Croatian Information Centre, Weekly Bulletin, No. 1, 9 August 1993)

In Konjic, the Mujahedin were part of a 100 member force stationed at Liscioi and led by Haso Hakalovic. The unit was assembled in February 1993 and included some Kosovo Muslims and members of the Black Swans from the Igman mountain region. (US Department of State, 1993, IHRLI Doc. No. 62612-62877, at 62756)

Allegedly, Mujahedin troops killed and expelled villagers, and looted and burned homes, when they moved against the Jablanica- Konjic area. The Mujahedin troops and members of the Black Swans reportedly conducted occasional raids without members of BiH forces. (at IHRLI Doc. No. 62752 and 62756. The village of Vrci was attacked on 25 May, and the village of Radesine was attacked on 10 June. See also Tadeusz Mazowiecki, Fifth Periodic Report on the Situation of Human Rights in the Territory of the Former Yugoslavia, U.N. Doc. E/CN.4/1994/47, 17 November 1993, IHRLI Doc. No. 52399-52435, at 52405 (alleging that the Mujahedin were involved in attacks at Kopjari on 21 October, Doljani on 27 and 28 June, and Maljane on 8 June). UN Special Rapporteur Mazowiecki claims that corpses of Mujahedin victims displayed evidence of protracted cruelty and mutilation. )

Reportedly, the Mujahedin volunteers arrived in Konjic in small groups. It was reported that they were from Afghanistan and that they claimed to be students. They were allegedly armed with Hekleri automatic weapons and former JNA equipment. Some Mujahedin were reportedly former students with no military experience.

Mujahedin forces were present in Mostar since early June 1993. They were reportedly stationed in the Santica neighbourhood on the Muslim/HVO front, where they manned bunkers, usually in groups of six or seven, armed with 7.62 millimetre semi-automatic weapons, machine-guns, and Zolja anti-tank weapons. They were billeted in a building they shared with the Muslim military police on the east bank of the Neretva River. The Mujahedin forces apparently left Mostar on 15 August. (US Department of State, 1993, IHRLI Doc. No. 62612-62877, at 62742 and 62677. For more details on the location of the Neretva living quarters, see Id. at 62739)

FRY reported that the Mujahedin began operations near Teslic in July and August of 1992. Troops from Saudi Arabia allegedly killed three Serbian Territorial Defence members and placed the victims' severed heads on poles near the «Tesanj turret». (Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Second Report Submitted to the Commission of Experts, 1993, IHRLI Doc. No. 28401-29019, at 28533)

Beheadings of Serbs by Mujahedin forces have also been reported in other areas.

The Mujahedin were also alleged to be part of the forces that invaded the village of Trusina near Foca on 15 April 1993. According to the report, attackers wore white ribbons on their arms and fought beside Albanian Muslim troops. Twenty-two civilians reportedly died in the attack. (US Department of State, 1993, IHRLI Doc. No. 62612-62877, at 62648; Croatian Information Centre, Weekly Bulletin, No. 9, 4 October 1993, IHRLI Doc. No. 36434-36438, at 36435)

The Mujahedin allegedly performed crude circumcisions upon Serbian police forces, who were later treated by an American surgeon at the Kosevo hospital in Sarajevo. (Letter dated 7 December 1992 from the Deputy Representative of the US to U.N. Secretary-General, U.N. Doc. S/24918, 8 December 1992, IHRLI Doc. No. 3160-3177, at 3173; Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Second Report Submitted to the Commission of Experts, 1993, IHRLI Doc. No. 28401-29019, at 28566)

>>>Lastly, the US never supported the Taliban: Afghan history seems to be as mysterious to you as does that of Bosnia.

Thanks, pal, without your input I WOULD NOT FIND THIS GEM

"Between 1994 and 1996 the USA supported the Taliban politically through its allies Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, essentially because Washington viewed the Taliban as anti-Iranian, anti-Shia and pro-Western. The USA conveniently ignored the Taliban's own Islamic fundamentalist agenda, its suppression of women and the consternation they created in Central Asia largely because Washington was not interested in the larger picture. Between 1995 and 1997 US support was even more driven because of its backing the Unocal [oil pipeline] project--even though at the time the USA had no strategic plan towards accessing Central Asian energy and thought that pipelines could be built without resolutions to regional civil wars. "

Hoppie, we are hell of a team together :-) I am only afraid that your Mujahedeen friends are not too happy.

[joan]

The man reported dead in my post was named Rade Rajkovic, not Rajko Radic. Maybe some typist has dyslexia and it is the same man, but maybe it is a different case.

Anyhow, this Rade Rajkovic was a 73 year-old man, and it is hard to understand any motivation for a common law wife (if he really had one) would burn down the house of a poor returning refugee with him in it. Why would she be so mad to do such a thing? I mean it couldn't be an insurance scam as I doubt a refugee has any money or insurance. Maybe she didn't want to return to Sarajevo, maybe she was angry about that, but what could she gain out of killing him and destroying his house?

The report I posted mentioned suspects, so I wonder if the job was done by several people.

[Hoplite]

Farmers in this case seem much more linked to the property of others as well.

You can't avoid the fact that one group expropriated the property of another. It doesn't matter whether it's Serb farmers taking over towns in Bosnia (also an egregious simplification, as non-Bosnian Serbs were in on the kill from the beginning) or Zimbabwean veterans taking over farms in their neck of the woods - it's theft. The rule of law is the hard thing to establish, and seems to have a rather tenuous hold at best in certain parts of the world.

Our faithful allies in Afghanistan were allies of convenience against the Soviets. Once the Soviets left, they couldn't offer us anything and were allowed to pretty much chart their own course. The Taliban appeared 5 years after the Soviets withdrew. The West isn't responsible for every A-hole in the world, regardless of what some would have you believe - thank Brezhnev for giving us cause to fear a Soviet move on the Indian Ocean for the support we gave to the Mujhadeen in Afghanistan.

Don't even play like I'm going to be the one to make you knowledgeable, that's going to require time and an effort on your part that has shown itself to be far beyond what most on this forum are willing to undertake.

Partner, the history of Bosnia is as mysterious to you as history of Afganistan.

One difficult word for today: Denial ( hint: not a river in Egypt)
Don't give up, one day you will figure it out.

Do you know that Izetbegovic had command responsibility for Celebici Concentration Camp, not only command responsibility for 7TH Brigade?

"On that occasion, Alija Izetbegovic also visited tunnel number 9 in which a number of inmates, most of whom went abroad after the release, were kept. These people said that President Izetbegovic was with the group of prisoners who had loaded the ammunition..."

Balkan wars and terrorist ties

The December 14, 1999, arrest of Algerian national Ahmet Ressemi at a U.S.-Canada border crossing in British Columbia – he was in a car full of nitroglycerin and bomb-making materials – was headline news in North America. Many theorized that Ressemi planned to blow up a major structure in the U.S. to start the new millenium.

The theorists could have saved themselves some time by taking a closer look at Ressemi´s past ties, especially those with terrorists trained in Bosnia-Herzegovina, where Ressemi fought as a mujahadeen, or an Islamic "holy warrior."

It has been confirmed that Ahmet Ressemi had ties with Said Atmani, another terrorist who fought in the "El Mujahadeen" unit in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The Canadian authorities deported Atmani back to Bosnia-Herzegovina on October 18, 1998, supposedly without knowing of his alleged participation in terrorist activities through Europe.

The NY Times, in it's "Magazine" edition on February 06, 2000 published that: "Last year, sources in Jordan say, the Mukhabarat, the intelligence service, alerted the C.I.A. to at least three plots by Bosnia-based Islamic terrorists to attack U.S. targets in Europe."

This is nothing new, since on December 24, 1995, Voice of America (VOA) reported that French security forces were searching for a number of Algerian terrorists, members of the notorious Group Islamic Army (GIA). The Algerians were suspects in a Paris Metro bombing which, among others, killed two Canadian tourists. The significant thread here is that the bombers were trained in Afghanistan and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Videotapes confiscated by French police confirmed this fact.

In Bosnia-Herzegovina, where the civil war lasted just over three years, the ties between the Islamic fundamentalist regime of Bosnian Muslim leader Alija Izetbegovic and known terrorists were exposed quickly. At the beginning of the war, Izetbegovic re-connected with his old friend and a member of ruling clique (National Islamic Front) in Sudan, Dr. Elfatih Hassanein-omal-Fatih.

The Bosnian Muslims, through Fatih´s Third World Relief Agency (TWRA), began smuggling arms for their cause in 1992. American sources suspect that Sheik Omah Abdel Rahman, the radical imam who was convicted of organizing the terrorist attack on the World Trade Centre in New York in 1993 had several links to TWRA. Another terrorist with strong links with TWRA is Osama bin Laden, who tops the most wanted terrorist list in the United States. The Riyadh, Saudi Arabia-born bin Laden is noted as the most vicious terrorist today. He was indicted for terrorist attacks on a US military base in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and United States´ embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.

Several Bosnian Muslims have direct ties with TWRA, including: Irfan Ljevakovic, a founder of the Stranka Demokratske Akcije (SDA–Alija Izetbegovic´s ruling Bosnian Muslim party), the Bosnian Muslim political wing and the man responsible for bringing mujahadeens to Bosnia-Herzegovina; Alija Izetbegovic, SDA and Bosnian Muslim president who guaranteed Fatih´s credentials to the Die Erste Osterreich Bank (Austria), enabling him to open an account there. The Bosnian Muslims used the bank account to solicit and transit funds for arms purchases. Other Bosnian Muslims listed as Executive Directors of TWRA include: Hasan Cengic, Husein Zivalj (deputy foreign minister of Bosnia-Herzegovina), and Faris Nanic (an advisor of Alija Izetbegovic).

Such ties between "humanitarian organizations" and terrorists are nothing new when in comes to the Balkans.

In April of 1999, Italian police in the port of Ancona confiscated three trucks belonging to the Sarajevo humanitarian aid organization "Kruh Svetog Ante" (The Bread of St. Anthony), which was delivering aid to Albanian terrorists in Kosovo and Metohija. The shipment contained six mortars of Croatian manufacture, 352 grenades, 2,600 hand grenades, anti-aircraft and anti-tank shoulder-held rocket systems, sniper rifles with laser scopes…

Guca Gora, near Travnik, has been identified as a mujahadeen base since the onset of the civil war in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The group was led by Karraj Kamil Bin Alija, who was born on November 19, 1966, in Tunis. He is better known by his nickname ‘Abu Hamza". One of the many reasons given for the death of Joze Leutar, a deputy minister in the Bosnian-Croat Federation, was the letter Leutar sent on November 12, 1998, to the international police forces in Bosnia-Herzegovina. He accused the Bosnian Muslim police of obstruction and failure to arrest Abu Hamza, who supposedly had a full freedom of movement in Central Bosnia. Leutar was killed on March 16, 1999, allegedly by Ismet Bajramovic, called "Celo". According to the Croatian newspaper "Nacional", quoting a Bosnian Muslim source, Bajramovic visited Osama bin Laden´s training camps on several occasions between 1994-95.

At the end of the civil war many of the mujahadeen remained on territories controlled by the Bosnian-Croat Federation instructing Muslim forces in terrorist activities. That activity came to light on December 18, 1995, with the premature detonation of an automobile bomb in Zenica. It is widely speculated that the bomb was meant for U.S. NATO troops serving in Bosnia-Hrezegovina as revenge for the life sentence given to Sheik Omah Abdel Rahman, the brain behind the World Trade Centre bombing in New York.

Also noteworthy is the raid conducted by NATO forces on the training center of the Bosnian Muslim secret police (AID), located in the ski center near Fojnica in February of 1996, and the arrest of several persons for preparing to conduct terrorist actions. Iranian instructors were teaching future terrorists from AID how to disguise bombs as children´s toys, dolls, and plastic ice cream cones.

During the civil war in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kamar Kharban, a leader from the Algerian terrorist organization Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) and a former officer in the Algerian army, was frequently seen in Bosnia-Herzegovina. A veteran of the Afghanistan war, he visited a suspected Algerian terrorist training base in Bosnia-Herzegovina. It is alleged that the training base serves as a source of false documents for a number of terrorist groups.

In a June 26, 1997, report of the bombing which destroyed the Al Khobar building in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, The New York Times noted that on of the arrested terrorists confessed to serving with Alija Izetbegovic´s Bosnian Muslim forces. He also admitted to ties with Osama bin Laden.

A recent report from Turkey that Mehrez Audonija, who held a valid Bosnian Muslim passport, was apprehended, caused great concern with the Bosnian Muslim leadership in Sarajevo. The same person was identified as one of Osama bin Laden´s closest associates. Mehrez, a Tunisian by birth and called Abu Talha in Bosnia-Herzegovina, believed the shortest and safest route to Chechnya led through Turkey. His arrest stemmed from a warrant issued by the Bologna (Italy) branch of Interpol which accused him of planning terrorist activities in Italy and being a member of the Algerian terrorist organization GIA.

At the same time, a segment of the media reluctantly reported that the Bosnian Muslim authorities issued a passport to Osama bin Laden himself. The passport was issued in the Bosnian embassy in Vienna, Austria, in 1993.

Defence and Foreign Affairs analyst Yossef Bodansky wrote in 1997 that Iran, from its terrorist bases in Bosnia-Herzegovina, planned the assassination of Pope John Paul II. The assassination was planned towards the end of September 1997. A terrorist group consisting of 20 members holding Croatian, Bosnia-Herzegovinian, Tunisian, Algerian and Moroccan passports were to assassinate the Pope during his Bologna visit. The leaders of the group were all former mujahadeens from Bosnia-Herzegovina. Logistical support for the group was secured through a local terrorist network which was closely associated with GIA. Italian authorities discovered the assassination attempt in time and managed to arrest 14 members of the terrorist cell.

Does the key for the solution of this case, as well as the Bologna case, lie in a Zenica jail where the Bosnian Muslim authorities are "guarding" and are preventing the extradition to France one Moulud Boughelan, also known by his nickname "Suljo"? The French authorities were seeking the extradition of Boughelan, as well as Lionel Dumont (known as Bilal and Hamza), for suspected terrorist activities.

It is worth noting that almost immediately following the French extradition request, Dumont escaped from a poorly guarded Sarajevo jail. Since his escape, Dumont has disappeared. Many believe that this inconvenient witness was simply "eliminated."

As for the Italian authorities, they are still awaiting the extradition of Halil Jarraya, a Tunisian, who is in a Sarajevo jail. Jarraya is accused of being one of the leaders of the Algerian GIA. According to his documentation, he shares the place of birth with Karraj Kamil bin Alija, and some suspect that they are one and the same person. Jarraya is one of fifteen accused terrorists sought by the Italian Interpol, most of whom are believed to still be in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Taken individually, the incidents could be viewed as lone attempts by extremist groups to sow terror. Taken in context with the common ties between groups and the organized terrorist networks, the motives become much more sinister.

Alija Izetbegovic´s friend and comrade-in-arms, Dr. Elfatih Hassanein-omal-Fatih, said: "In the end, Bosnia must be Muslim. If that does not happen, the entire war is meaningless and was fought for no reason." Proponents of the New World Order still believe in the "sincere" wishes of the Sarajevo regime for Bosnia-Herzegovina to become "multi-ethnic." Taking into account the number of international terrorists who have lived or are living in Bosnia-Herzegovina, the country will very quickly become multi-ethnic. Unfortunately, it will also become "mono-religious."

Great, genius. Now all you have to do is find some way that this support manifested itself other than in an editorial in a Hong Kong newspaper.

Have fun.

If Izetbegovic is shown to have been responsible for the activities of Delalic, Mucic, Delic, and Landzo, then he'll answer for it. And not run around like a little bitch trying to hide from his past like some other individuals we've seen. He wasn't present at Karadjordevo, and so didn't get a head's up that he should be planning the expulsion of Croats and Serbs from Bosnia - but then he wasn't interested in that in the first place, regardless of what you would have everyone believe. There are Orthodox and Catholic churches still standing in Sarajevo which are damning to your argument, but like so many others, you choose to ignore that which doesn't fit your world view. The joke of a website that you got your article from is ample proof of that. (Either the Serbs didn't commit any war crimes, or balkanpeace is just another Serb propaganda outlet - you decide.)

Lastly, I feel no more guilty today than I do any other day.

How about yourself?

NEXT...

Hoplite, you are mighty not because you are fearless but because you have no shame. For months you support radical islamists on FR, and propagate their fabrications and blattant propaganda. You have no decency to be silent even today.

[Hoplite]

Painting everybody who prays to Allah as a radical Islamicist is just another weak attempt to avoid reality.

Next thing you know some twit is going to tell you that kicking elderly Muslim women whom you've just shot is acceptable practice as they could be hiding weapons.

No worries, they built their shops on Serb farmland and had death lists of local Serbs concealed on their persons, I know.

And you have the temerity to speak to me about decency.

If you twits would simply stop saying such ridiculous things, all the wind would be gone from my sails.

It is understandable that you would be defensive regarding your support of Bin Laden's Mujahedeen in BiH & Kosovo......especially that said support strengthed Bin Laden enough so he was able to carry out a attack which murdered 5,000 Americans.

Do you still stand by your support of the Mujahedeen from 1991 through 1999 ?

Yawn.

Run along and compare notes with Vooch.

You two appear to have much in common, newbie.

since the LAX item says he was a Bosnian Citizen, though this was worth another look see.

It is now almost 2 years since the 9/11 tragedy and a fund raiser for al quereda is on trial in Chicago. He was aiding mujahadeen in Bosnia with funds raised right here in the USA.

After 9/11, former Bosnians refugees, on numerous occasions, right here in the USA, were caught saying that it was the Jews that committed 9/11... not muslims.

Is there any end to their bosnian muslim lies? No, they lie because they hate Christians and Jews, period. They would kill all of them, if only they could.

I found this page today and read most of it.I just wanted to say that World will never understand and realize how much Bosnians,especially Muslim population suffered thru this war which they did not want.Holocaust of 1941 is not close to it.Jewish people did get murdered,but these Serbin butchers killed people in maner in which not even animals are killed.God be with them when they comes to The Jugment Day!!!!!!

A good example how Holocaust revisionists operate.

Number of Jews murdered by Nazi regime: 6 million

Number of armed Jews in Germany before September 1 1939: O

Number of Germans murdered by Jews: 0

Total casualties of Bosnian civil war : 102,000

Total casualties of Bosnian Muslims (both civilian and military) less than 50,000

Number of Bosnian Muslims under arms before the start of civil war: 100,000

Before war started, Bosnian Muslim leader Aliya Izetbegovic has said: I will sacrifice peace for Muslim Bosnia, but will not sacrifice Muslim Bosnia for peace.
