So basically, the Bosnian Muslim election strategy was a "bait and switch". And the "bait" was Abdic, a secular Muslim with a broad-based constituency of Muslims, Serbs and Croats, used to get the electoral door open to the presidency for his party. The "switch" was Izetbebgovic, a Muslim radical, who wanted to turn Bosnia into a Muslim country.

If someone tried that strategy in America, there would be another revolution!

There was a revolt from the Serbian side, boka. Differance between then v. now is that the Serbs were ahead of the times again... They were killing Jihads when it wasn't "kewl" to be "krewl" to mujas. You dig? Now it is....

exactly, you got it. that’s how Hillary will get into office, as VP then ..and you know that history.

izzy had an agenda and was more politically perceptive then abdic, to a point.
