| Bosnians show solidarity w/ Paleos by commemorating Quds Day |
| 2006-10-21 |
| Bosnians expressed Friday overall solidarity with Palestinians by commemorating Quds (Jerusalem) Day. In a joint press release, Bosnian civic organizations stressed the necessity of supporting Palestine's people who have suffered for the past 70 years. They said Bosnians truly recognize the suffering of the Palestinians because they all faced tragedies and hostilities. They urged the international community's immediate interference to ensure implementation of relevant UN resolutions and accords, as well as Israel's withdrawal from Occupied Palestinian Territories as a preliminary step to establish an independent Palestinian state. The groups organized a rally that included displaying documentary films about the suffering of Palestinians. The idea of Quds Day was established by Iran's former leader Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979. It takes place every year on last Friday during the month of Ramadhan. |

| #1 Regarding former bosnian president Alija Izetbegoviæ : In 1970, Izetbegoviæ published a manifesto entitled The Islamic Declaration, a work which contributed greatly to his later portrayal as an Islamic fundamentalist. He highlighted the decayed state of Islam and called for a religious and political regeneration across the Muslim world, although the book made no reference to Bosnia. In two particularly controversial passages, he declared that "there can be neither peace nor coexistence between the Islamic faith and non-Islamic social and political institutions" and that "the Islamic movement must and can, take over political power as soon as it is morally and numerically so strong that it can not only destroy the existing non-Islamic power, but also to build up a new Islamic one". He promoted the idea of a "united Islamic community" in which non-Muslims would have their rights guaranteed. And, yet, this wikipedia entry is very sanitized IMHO, he was a muslim SS volunteer during WWII, he received a "Jihad" soody prize, he had both iran and sunni networks involved on his side (and granted citizenship to numerous "Freedom Fighters"),... In short, regardless of the offical mantra, bosnia is an islamic enclave in Europe, just like formerly serbian kosovo, and nothing good will come out of it, when it comes to the WOT and the islamization of western Europe. |
