DURAKOVI?: I ACCUSE! Your Crimes Against Bosnia and Herzegovina and Against the Bosniaks Whoi are Mostly Muslims – This is a Project
In my capacity of an intellectual and scientist, humanist and cosmopolitan, as both a patriot and a citizen of the world, and finally – in my capacity of a believer who deeply believes that a diversity of the Humanity is God's grace and that our mission, by God's design, is creative coexistence, and not murderous antogonization,
I ACCUSE
The politicians who, either by their activity or passivity, contributed to the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, its outcome and genocide, and the difficult situation Bosnia and Herzegovina has found herself in after the war
· Of genocide committed against the Bosniaks in the 20th century; of the very genocide which you did not sanction but awarded it instead because its victims were the Muslims in vast majority!
· Of awarding the genocide perpetrators with the territory where you enabled the genocide to take place by disarming the defenders under a false promise that the territory concerned was under your protection, and then you let the executioners in to commit the crime of genocide;
· Of preventing at the highest level – in the UN Security Council – the sovereign state of Bosnia and Herzegovina with full UN membership to defend itself from the brutal armed aggression perpetrated by its three neighboring countries;
· Of threatening by your most powerful fist – NATO – to strike us – if we try to fully liberate the whole of our sovereign country!
· Of establishing a “Republic“ on the huge number of mass graves – in a sovereign country with full UN membership!
· Of your institutional actions against the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the course of the previous 30 years!
· Of persistent support that you have been providing to OHR even now for introducing an apartheid in BiH in the 21st century, and for including into the Constitution a segregation against the people who constitute the majority in BiH!
· I hereby accuse you of the blatant breaches of the international law in BiH, of phobia and inhumanity, of your institutional segregation-driven activities which you would never allow in your own countries!
· I accuse you of the Islamophobia in BiH at the level of the highest political institutions! I accuse you of an initially armed and subsequently a hybrid war against the principles of democracy, tolerance and cosmopolitism!
· You should know that it has been obvious for a long time that the crimes against the state of BiH and its people – Bosniaks who are Muslims by majority, are multifold, constant, consistent, and premeditated! It is obvious that this is a project!
***
With reference to the aforementioned, let me remind you of some statements made by the highest ranking representatives of your institutions.
The British Foreign Office decisively committed themselves to an arms embargo on BiH, based on the policy that BiH should not be given arms as – as the highest officials stated – the war would have lasted too long, that it would be painful, but necessary, etc. So, it was as early as in 1992 that the plan was to liquidate the Bosniak Muslims as soon as possible. The then anti-Bosniak and anti-Bosnian politics of France is well known. A UN officer from the French battalion in BiH testified on this by saying that the French military forces, as instructed by the French president, were in BiH in order to protect the Serbian aggression. During the war, even from the United States of America there was a strongly articulated voice from a high institutional level that the attitude of the West to the war in BiH would have been different if it were not about Muslims.
There are indisputable documents about “The Sarajevan Safari“– on how your monstrous rich people came to the besieged Sarajevo and paid to the aggressor villains to enable them to kill the children in Sarajevo by sniper. The documents provide evidence that you knew about this and allowed such monstrous crimes!
Where is your conscience?! Where is your morality?! Where is your faith?!
Not even the children are equal for you: it is allowed to trophy kill Muslim children by sniper!
It is clear to us why your attitude to Bosnia (I am using the historical and not the administrative name of the country here!) has been like this: you cannot tolerate Muslims as a state-building political subject on the European soil! Your aim is to destroy the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina as this country is the only condition for survival of the Bosniaks who are mainly Muslims, and you are aware that they are the only ones who cannot retreat to the left or to the right, to the east or to the west.
Your attitude to Bosnia has been exclusively motivated by Islamophobia. Such an attitude used to wear the combat garments and be called the crusades in the previous centuries. Albeit in vain, throughout all these decades, and even centuries, we have been demonstrating our cosmopolitism to you, including by the facts that not a single church was destroyed in the besieged martyr city of Sarajevo (moreover, we repaired some of the Sarajevan churches during the aggression and under the aggressor’s fire!), that we carefully guarded the Haggadah during the aggression, etcetera. No argument is valid though when faced with your phobia as no phobia is rational, so that, in the 21st century Bosnia, you have remained determined to replay the middle ages Andalusia: you are convinced that the Muslims from Bosnia should be baptized, killed, or displaced.
Your intention to do this is persistent!
I hereby call upon the European and American humanists and cosmopolitans, intellectuals, to raise their voices against such policies of their governments, which have, impiously and systemically, perpetrated violence against one country and one people who live in the very heart of Europe!
Do give hope to your own conscience and history!
You should know that we are fully aware of both the destruction and phobia aimed at Bosnia! The history will record it – as well as it recorded the pogroms you perpetrated against the autochthonous peoples across the world! You have persistently, throughout history, “built” the world based on injustice and violence against the different ones! Such a world is deeply, essentially unfair, it is Mephistophelian and, as such it cannot be successful in the historical perspective for which you lack a vision.
You have been leading the world towards an Armageddon!
You may rest assured that God, whom you allegedly believe in and in whose name you have perpetrated violence against the different ones, will punish you even in this world in such ways that you do not assume – because you hypocritically “believe” in God’s principles of Good by forging His words blasphemously!
Before the History and before God as the ultimate source of Good, by the power of Noah's curse - – I HEREBY ACCUSE YOU BY THE CURSE OF AN INNOCENT VICTIM FOR THE VIOLENCE THAT YOU ARE PERPETRATING HERE AND NOW!
