The Forgotten Genocide – The Massacre of Bosnian Muslims and the Lessons for Today

"Surrender your weapons so we can slaughter you, and we will not leave a single preacher among you."

If you do not understand Bosnia, you will not understand Gaza. Understand Bosnia first so that you can comprehend Gaza and what is happening there, and so that you will not be surprised.

The genocide waged by the Serbs against the Muslims of Bosnia resulted in:

• 300,000 Muslims martyred.
• 60,000 women and girls raped.
• 1.5 million people displaced.

Do we remember it?

Or have we forgotten?

Or do we know nothing about it at all?

A CNN anchor, discussing the anniversary of the Bosnian massacres, asked the famous correspondent Christiane Amanpour:

• "Does history repeat itself?"
• Christiane Amanpour commented on Bosnia’s anniversary:
  • "It was a medieval war: killing, siege, and starvation of Muslims, and Europe refused to intervene."
  • "They said it was a civil war, which was a myth...!"

The Holocaust lasted about four years, during which the Serbs destroyed more than 800 mosques, some dating back to the 16th century. They also burned the historic Sarajevo Library.

When the United Nations intervened, they placed gates at the entrances of Islamic cities such as Goražde, Srebrenica, and Žepa, but these cities remained under siege and fire, and the "protection" meant nothing.

The Serbs placed thousands of Muslims in concentration camps, where they tortured and starved them until they became skeletal figures.

When a Serbian commander was asked why they were doing this, he replied:

"Because they don’t eat pork!"

The Guardian newspaper published a full-page map during the Bosnian massacres, showing the locations of rape camps where Muslim women were systematically violated—17 large camps, some inside Serbia itself.

The Serbs raped children, even a four-year-old girl...

The Guardian published a report about her titled:

"The Little Girl Whose Only Crime Was Being Muslim."

The butcher Ratko Mladić invited the Muslim commander in Žepa for a meeting, offered him a cigarette, laughed with him briefly—then slaughtered him on the spot.

And they committed untold atrocities against the people of Žepa.

But the most infamous crime was the Siege of Srebrenica.

The international (Crusader) soldiers partied with the Serbs, drank, danced, and some even 

bargained with Muslim women over their honor in exchange for food.

The Serbs besieged Srebrenica for two years, bombing it constantly. They seized most of the humanitarian aid before it reached the town.

Then the West handed it over to the wolves:

The Dutch battalion, which was supposed to protect Srebrenica, conspired with the Serbs and pressured the Muslims to surrender their weapons in exchange for safety...!

The exhausted and desperate Muslims complied.

Once the Serbs were assured of their weakness, they stormed Srebrenica, separated the men from the women, gathered 12,000 males (young boys and men), slaughtered them all, and mutilated their bodies.

Some of the torture methods:

• A Serb would pin a Muslim man down and carve an Orthodox cross into his face while he was still alive. (Reported by Newsweek or Time Magazine.)
• Some victims begged their executioners to kill them quickly because of the unbearable pain.
• A mother would hold onto a Serb’s hand, pleading for her son’s life, only for him to cut off her hand and behead the boy in front of her.

The massacre unfolded…

And the world watched, heard, ate, played, and carried on.

After the Srebrenica massacre, the butcher Radovan Karadžić entered the city as a conqueror and declared:

"Srebrenica has always been Serbian, and now it has returned to the embrace of the Serbs."

The Serbs would rape Muslim women and imprison them for nine months to ensure they gave birth. Why?

A Serbian man told a Western newspaper:

"We want Muslim women to give birth to Serb babies."

And as we remember Bosnia, Sarajevo, Banja Luka, and Srebrenica,

we repeat:

We will not forget the Balkans.

We will not forget Granada.

We will not forget Palestine.

On the 30th anniversary of Europe's and Serbia’s crime against Bosnia, we say:

We will never forget, we will never forgive, and we will never believe in the deception of tolerance, coexistence, and human rights.

At the height of the Bosnian genocide, a French newspaper wrote:

"From the details of what is happening in Bosnia, it is clear that only the Muslims have a truly beautiful and civilized culture."

And we must record in shame the actions of the Orthodox elder Boutros Boutros-Ghali, who was then the UN Secretary-General and blatantly sided with his Serbian brothers.

But after 30 years, we have still not learned the lesson...

One more note: The Serbs deliberately targeted scholars, imams, intellectuals, and business leaders, tying them up before slaughtering them and throwing their bodies into the river.

Whenever the Serbs entered a town, they began by demolishing its mosque.

One Bosnian Muslim said:

"If the Serbs destroyed the mosque, we knew we had no choice but to flee. The mosque meant everything."

A British newspaper described the genocide in Bosnia with these words:

"A 20th-century war waged with medieval methods."

(A message to those who are deceived by Western civilization and its false claims of human rights.)

History is not told to children to help them sleep.

It is told to men so they may wake up.
