Bosnia Serbs Told To Pay for Damaged Mosques

AND WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR CHRISTIAN CHURCHES DESTROYED IN KOSOVO?

It is truly a great day to see that those institutions who premeditatedly blew up and bulldozed every single mosque in the formerly multi-ethinc and now ethnically cleansed town of Banja Luka are going to have to come to face with what they did and it will hurt as it should. They will have to face the truth and pay up, that's how justice works. To think that the former leaders of the "RS" would destroy hundreds of years old houses of worship and cultural symbols of all of Bosnia makes me wonder how human beings can be so evil and depraved. One thing that lifts my hopes in humanity is that there are those who are brave enough to uphold justice and see to it that the perpetrators of ethnic cleansing are held accountable for their heinous crimes against humanity.

So what? What have the Orthodox churches of Kosovo to do with the mosques in Bosnia-Herzegovina? What of the other four historic mosques in Banja Luka? And the desecrated graveyards??? And the Aladza Dzamija and the other mosques in Foca??? These too must be rebuilt. And it would be better if the very men (these evil and stupid creatures) who ordered and who carried out their destruction were locked up for the rest of their miserable wretched accursed lives in a place where they will never see th eliught of the sun again, and in complete isolation, without any right to receive visits of their relatives nor packages nor letters, nor to write them - buried alive, as it were. That's what they deserve. And they must pay with their personal fortunes to the last penny they have! And their relatives, ands anyone else in Bosnia who approves of the destruction of the historic mosques should be stripped of their citizenship and be forcibly taken to the border (if it were up to me I'd let them SWIM across the Drina! And have the graves of their ancestors removed!!!) I will gladly admit that for these stupid and evil people I have only the most unremitting hatred! They should never have been born! And where a new Orthodox church was built on the site of a mosque (in Divic, I think) I would have all local Serbs demolish it with only their bare hands!! And use the bells as chandeliers in the new mosque! I have read that during the time of Serb misrule it was common for Bosnian Serb schoolchildren to harass ther Muslim schoolchidren, to slap their faces and say "For Kosovo Polje!" Now what if I taught my children, and my grandchildren that when they see a Serb who is weaker, they slap him in the face too, and say "For Srebrenica"? But I won't, I'm not like them, I'm not a racist, but if someone tries to justify this execrable crime, the destruction of a historic cultural landmark, I would like to punch him in the face until he bleeds! Having said that, of course the destruction of a medieval Orthodox church with the fabulous and irreplaceable frescoes is also an execrable crime, and un-Islamic, for nowhere in the Qur'an you will find that it says "destroy the churches".

and not just Kosovo of course, what about the Orthodox churches destroyed within Bosnia?

What! Which churches were destroyed in Bosnia? The "Serbs" destroyed many Catholic churches in Banja Luka and surroundings. The "HVO" destroyed the Orthodox church in Mostar and the Monastery of Zitomislici (which are to my knowledge currently being rebuilt, so what are you crying about?). Go to Sarajevo or Tuzla or all other places held by the Muslims during the war, and you will see the Orthodox churches still standing. So what are you crying about?

The origin of the worst examples of human behaviour in the region can pretty much be traced back to a single source - the crime of Ottoman Muslim Turkey's vile and sustained aggression on Christian Europe... If that never happened, without a shadow of a doubt, the region, and the world in general, would not have suffered anywhere near the level of violence it has, especially during the 1900's... I guess it's not surprising that a crime of such violence, and continuing consequences of it, ultimately led to brutal violence in the region amongst nationalities on the receiving end of it...

The islamophobes again justifying the murder of today's Bosniaks with the actions of the Ottoman Turks of long bygone times...So you want to make the Bosniaks of today pay for the deeds of the Ottomans ...what a vile, rotten way of thinking.

What do Turks and the deeds of the Ottoman empire half a millennium ago have to do with Bosniaks? I'm utterly confused by Anita's comment on that issue since Bosniaks were as much or even greater victims of the Ottoman Empire as any of the other slavic peoples in the Balkans. Their own Bosnian kingdom was destroyed, their country overtaken by foreigners, their men were used by the Ottoman state to fight and die in distant wars, and to top it all of the Turks left Bosnia as an economically and socially underdeveloped region to be exploited by the Austro-Hungarian empire (which did more good for Bosnia in a few decades then the Turks did in centuries). The only good think that the Ottoman's brought is the religion of Islam but even that has left Bosniaks isolated and surrounded by hateful enemies on all sides in "Christian Europe". The Bosniaks were a people before the Turks and they are a people after the Turks. What the Bosnian Serbs did in Bosnia was vile and inexcusable and they (by that I mean their leaders not the people) need to answer for the crimes that were committed by elected Serbian officials in the Serbian people's name. Destroying houses of worship is truly base and uncivilized, if the Serbs are going to defend that behavior based on unproven historical myths they will only show themselves to be base and uncivilized if however they want to prove themselves to be civilized they will have to ask the question "should we pay the Islamic institutions in Bosnia using cash or check?"
