The Muj came as reinforcements and as saviors (in their own minds) considering that Serbs had taken 2/3 of the country.
"THE FOURTH REICH HAS COME was the Bosnian Muslim war chant....Bosnian Muslims expected Bosnian Serbs to be sheep for ritual slaughter, like Serbs were in WWII."
So utterly stupid it's hard to work up the energy to respond. Izetbegovic called on the Serb-dominated JNA to help in his genocide against Serbs for which he was obviously unprepared. What do you say to someone who think this way???
You're still living like it's 1942, DTA, and whenever you remind me of that I can better understand how nationalists were able to get so many people just like you riled up with BS to the point of such brutality.
I've always thought Tito's biggest mistake was not allowing for any reconsiliation process after WWII. Croats and Muslims still hated the "Chetniks," while Serbs dreamed of revenge against the "Ustashe." You're exhibit A of this sad reality.
"Bosnian Serbs owned 70% of land in Bosnia before the war."
Serbs were NOT the majority it much of Eastern Bosnia (Zvornik, Visegrad etc) and sure as hell were not the majority in Bihac. Yet these places were all attacked. Go figure!
"When Bosnia and Herzegovina became an independent state (April 6, 1992) Yugoslav Forces were ordered by the Yugoslav government to retreat to Yugoslavia. Retreat was completed by May 15 1992."
Rubbish. JNA units simply became the Bosnian Serb Army. Some units still drove around with 'JNA' painted on their vehicles and units and ammo arrived from Serbia throughout the war. Radko Mladic recieved a paycheck from Belgrade throughout 1992-95. Towns in Eastern Bosnia were shelled FROM THE SERBIAN SIDE OF THE DRINA for crying out loud! Who are you trying to fool???
No I'm not Bosnian Muslim, DTA. Read some of my other posts on FR and you'll find that I'm no fan of Islam in general.
If I disagree with your lame propaganda that insists that Serb guns firing into Bosnia from Serbia were not part of the Yugoslav/Serbian war effort against Bosnia (same, if not worse, than Croatia's attacks in Bosnia), then I surely MUST be a Bosnian Muslim/Turk/Ustashe. No one else could possibly reach that conclusion!
Whatever.

I would call person claiming what you have just written an idiot.
Izetbegovic ATTACKED JNA. JNA was federal army and Izetbegovic deliberatelly attacked to provoke retaliation.
There were 2 notable massacres:
TUZLA APRIL 15 1992
Hasan Efendic claimed that in Tuzla 160 JNA members were killed and 200 were injured when they were evacuating Tuzla. There had been an agreement for their withdrawal in Tuzla as there had been in Sarajevo. During the April 15, 1992 withdrawal of JNA troops from Muslim-held Tuzla, 160 JNA soldiers were killed and 200 wounded after a deliberate Muslim attack. The Bosnian Muslim faction was creating anarchy and mayhem in Bosnia. The Bosnian Muslim faction was deliberately seeking to provoke the JNA and the Bosnian Serb faction to react and to respond.
JNA could level Tuzla with SAMs but there was no response.
SARAJEVO
May 3 1992: 2- 3 May - Because of deteriorated situation in BH, the Conference on Bosnia- Herzegovina in Lisbon was interrupted on request of Alija Izetbegovic. On returning to Sarajevo Izetbegovic was detained by YPA in the barracks in Lukavica, as response to blockade and attack on the headquarters of the Second Army District in Sarajevo. With mediation of UNPROFOR and EC emissaries, Alija Izetbegovic and general Milutin Kukanjac agreed on safe withdrawal of men and equipment from the headquarters building. After Alija Izetbegovic left for the Presidency building, a convoy of withdrawing YPA vehicles on their way to Lukavica barracks was attacked by BH territorial defense units, who killed several officers, soldiers and civilians.
JNA retaliated with shelling Bosnian Muslim forces for 3 days.
At that time, according to Sefer Halilovic memoir, Bosnian Muslims had 120 000 armed men. Hardly an defenseless victim in a civil war.
