In order to under-
stand this savagery in-
flicted on the innocent
Muslims of Bosnia, we first need to take a look at the history of the re-
gion. It is well known that after the dissolution of the Yugoslavian
Federation, some countries became uneasy at the way a number of re-
gions with majority Muslim populations were heading towards inde-
pendence. The setting up of independent Muslim states in the middle of
Europe, and the possibility that these might form a union amongst
themselves, meant Islamic civilization coming uncomfortably close to
Western states. For that reason, the Muslims in the Balkans were sub-
jected to genocide by the Serbs, with secret encouragement by the effec-
tive anti-Islamic lobbies in certain Western countries and under the
security umbrella of those lobbies.
Even before people had forgotten the terrible atrocities in Bosnia-
Herzegovina, a second wave of Serbian savagery began, this time in the
Yugoslavian republic of Kosovo. Looking at these events from a histor-
ical perspective, it seemed that the Serbs were trying to avenge the pain
of their defeat some 600 years previously. The Serbs in Kosovo see the
Muslim Albanians as a "continuation of the Ottoman Empire," for
which reason they are set on a policy of assimilation, or more accu-
rately, are trying to do away with all traces of the Ottomans.
