‘Large increase in anti-Bosnian, anti-Muslim bigotry’
Here we go again: al Jizz is using resistance to the Islamic expansion project in Bosnia to accuse the victims of Mohammedan aggression of being “anti-Muslim bigots”, “Islamophobes” etc. In reality the remaining Serbs & Croats live in fear of jihad attacks every day of their lives.
Serb and Croat politicians are increasingly using Islamophobic rhetoric with aim of dividing Bosnia, says new report.

During the 1992 -1995 conflict, divisive and dehumanising language was used with the hope of splitting the country into “Greater Croatia” and “Greater Serbia”.
Cry me a river! The ‘Greater Albania’ idea is much more alive in the heads & hearts of Bosnian Moslems than Croats & Serbs.
According to the European Islamophobia Report 2018, which was published by the Ankara-based Foundation for Political, Economic and Social Research think tank on Friday, politicians and some sections of the media are today attempting to falsely present Bosnia as a “radical Muslim haven” in order to undermine the country – again with the aim of dividing it territorially.
“In 2018, Milorad Dodik, the Bosnian Serb leader and newly elected Serb member of the Bosnia and Herzegovina presidency, dehumanised Bosniak Muslims by referring to adhan (call to prayer) as ‘howling’ on a show on public Serbian television,” wrote Hikmet Karcic, a researcher at the Institute for Islamic Tradition of Bosniaks who authored the report’s section on Bosnia and Herzegovina.
