Serbian eagle hovers over "puny Muslim and Croation emblems"

More Muslim fury directed at proud dhimmis (which, of course, is an oxymoron). “Muslims furious at anthem and symbols adopted by Bosnian Serbs,” by Daniel McLaughlin, for the Irish Times, July 17:

BOSNIA: BOSNIA'S MUSLIMS are furious with the country's Serb republic for adopting an anthem and emblems that allegedly glorify Serb nationalism and undermine what precious little ethnic harmony still exists in the divided country.

[...]

Amid Western efforts to integrate the two "entities" and strengthen a central, multi-ethnic administration in Sarajevo, a court ruled in 2006 that the anthems and symbols used by each should reflect equally Bosnia's Muslim, Croat and Serb communities.

The new anthem adopted by the local parliament in Republika Srpska makes no mention of Bosnia however, and on the coat of arms approved by legislators the traditional Serb eagle and lion tower over puny Muslim and Croatian emblems.

Definitely no sign of dhimmitude here---hence the "furious Muslims."
Muslim MPs accused their Serb colleagues of nationalism and discrimination, and vowed to challenge the adoption of the coat of arms and the anthem called "My Republic", which tells of a "country of the shining sun, where honourable and good people live".

National pride? Oh, you can't have that! You'll upset someone (muslim).

Cool, Srpska! Time to pay back both the ummah as well as the West.

Srpska should follow through on this heroic deed by declaring its independence from Bosnia (which they are anyway all but doing), and following that, Serbia, Russia and Greece should instantly recognize this new country, and they should also lobby other countries that have been fence sitters on Kosovo, such as Israel, India, Thailand, et al, to come out and recognize Serbia. Once they do, it'll be upto the West and the Bosnian ummah to decide whether they want a repeat of what happened in Bosnia in the 90s.

"country of the shining sun, where honourable and good people live".
Shame on the Serbs! How could they adapt such unislamic lyrics in their anthem? Instead, they should be singing about how they'll slaughter all infidels, and bring all of Bosnia-Hercegovina under the sword of Islam.

Memo to the Ummah States: what goes around comes around

Srbska can't declare independance yet, because they will be bombed by NATO if they do so. In the Balkans only muslims are allowed to break away and create new states to expand the ummah. Rice and Holbrooke have repeatedly declared that Srbska should be destroyed and taken over by muslims.

"Land of a Thousand Dances" would make a killer national anthem.

Oh, those pesky Serbs...when are they going to learn to 'heel'? We bomb them in support of muslims, we rip their historic heart away to give to muslims, and still, they persist in their willful, proud manner...a shining example to us all.

Has this become a pro-Serb site now? People must have short memories, but I distinctly remember Serb snipers picking off civilians including children on the streets of Sarajevo, murdering 9000 men and boys at Srebrinica, and shelling the port of Dubrovnik for months. A bunch of cold blooded murderous often drunken cowards who sat on the hills above these cities and gloated at their victims.

The war in Yugoslavia has nothing to do with Islam. People in Croatia ( Catholic ), Slovenia ( Catholic ), were sick of being dictated to by the lazy corrupt incompetents in Belgrade, and broke away. That's what kicked the war off. Nothing to do with Islam.

The cheek of it, a pack of filthy murderers trying to present themselves as the saviours of Western civilization.

You can rewrite history back in your own regressive now-landlocked and small backwater.

The Al-Qaida sympathizer known as Melbourneman wrote:
"Has this become a pro-Serb site now?"

Yes! We are pro-Serb and proudly so.

He also spewed this vomit:
"People must have short memories, but I distinctly remember Serb snipers picking off civilians including children on the streets of Sarajevo, murdering 9000 men and boys at Srebrinica, and shelling the port of Dubrovnik for months. A bunch of cold blooded murderous often drunken cowards who sat on the hills above these cities and gloated at their victims"

All of that has been disproven.

Now the facts...

Muslim snipers murdered Serbian (and Croat) children and other civilians. They piled up thier naked corpses in a way to conjure memories of the holocaust and then told gullible reporters that the bodies were Muslims killed by Serbs.

However, they made one glaring mistake: the naked corpses of the men and boys at Srebrinica were uncircumcized. This proves that they were not Muslims.

Melbourne Man

We are pro

Serb
Israeli
Jew
Hindu
Thai
Coptic
Maronite
Assyrian

The list goes on

While others can argue on the details, I have absolutely no problems with Serbs (or anyone else for that matter) giving Mohammedans a taste of their own medicine.

Also, what is sauce for the goose is ketchup for the gander. If Albanian Mohammedans who infiltrate into Kosovo can then claim it as a separate state, then what's the problem with Bosnian Serbs doing the same? At least, as a Serbian entity, they'll have the same freedom of religion that Serbs do (minus maybe the right to be Islamic supremacists), whereas under an Islamic Bosnian entity, they'd have to live under Shariah law - eventually.

Another news flash - the Serbs aren't trying to take over the world. Just their own country.

"The war in Yugoslavia has nothing to do with Islam." from Melbourneman

So the fact that thousands of jihadists (including bin Laden himself) came to Bosnia to fight alongside the muslims and slaughter Serbs had nothing to do with Islam?

What about "the Islamic Declaration", the book calling for introduction of sharia in Bosnia, written by Bosnia's muslim president Izetbegovic (former SS), had that anything to do with islam?

Infidel Pride:

That sentence, and some of the other comments in this thread, prove that some posters to the Jihadwatch comments don’t have the first clue about the world beyond their own prejudices.

The actions of the Bosnian Serbs were the reasons for the war in former Yugoslavia (along with those of the other Serb nationalists. Unless, of course, you believe that the invasions of Croatia and Slovenia were motivated by the need to combat “Mohammedans” ?)

You could put it down to a misfortune of personnel. When Communism collapsed across Eastern Europe, and other countries broke apart, leaders emerged who were democrats formerly oppressed by the Communists. In Serbia they had Milosevic - a corrupt Commie bureaucrat with dreams of creating a Serb empire.

Everything that followed - the arrival of foreign jihadists in Bosnia, the West’s arming of the Bosnian Muslims and even the world’s indifference to the Albanian annexing of Kosovo* - all results from the Serbs’ own actions.

The Serbian nationalists were the architects of Serbia’s downfall. Next time they or their supporters feel like whingeing about the West’s “interference” in former Yugoslavia, they might like to ponder the actions of Milosevic, Karadzic, and Mladic beforehand, and consider who really is to blame for the mess they find themselves in.

Of course, if such honest introspection proves too painful for them, they could always set fire to the American embassy again.

*An action no different to the Bosnian Serb’s land-grabbing of the Serb-dominated parts of Bosnia to form Republika Srpska in the first place.

Matamoros, you are the one that obviously doesn't have any clue about the war in Yugoslavia, except for the propaganda you were exposed to.

First of all what invasions of Slovenia and Croatia by Serb nationalists are you babbling about? The war in Slovenia was a conflict between Slovenians and Yugoslav communists not Serb nationalists, there were no Serbs that wanted any part of Slovenia to be part of Serbia.
The wars in Croatia and Bosnia were conflicts between Croats, muslims and local Serbs already living there who didn't want to be separated from mainland Serbia and ruled by people who wanted to islamize them and who had previously committed genocide against them. Have you ever heard about Jasenovac?

Your comment about "the world's" indifference to Kosovos independance is also amusing. Russia, China and India, (more than 2½ billion people) will not recognize Kosovo and allow it to be member of UN, but they are not part of this world?

"The cheek of it, a pack of filthy murderers trying to present themselves as the saviours of Western civilization."

now there is an 'unbiased' comment if ever there was one...lololol....

muslims killed their own for political gain. They signen and then renounced the Lisbon agreement so more of their own could die for a muslim state in the heart of Europe. Defend that....that's rational thinking..and what did they gain? not more than the Lisbon Agreement laid out..now that's some kind of rationality...kinda like cutting off the hand of a thief...same mentality..bakward/barbaric. Defend it some more for us. Now we are up to 9000 muslim at srebenica? geeesh...lets call it 20,000 for the hell of it...why not? What is truth to a muslim vs a Christian? what is truth to a muslim defender against a Christian? Nothing...inflate away. We have heard it all before. BTW...the Srebenica # began as 4000. /After how many year now... 10-12? how many bodies have been found with modern technology? I will never forget Alldull showing us ariel pics of the mass burial sites...right....only 3200 bodies...and too many are Serbs, have been found to date...right...lololol...defend the muslims who fired from hospitals, mosques, elementary schools,cemetaries... who blew up their own people waiting in breadlines...yes, defend those mujedeen allies...the bosnian muslims.

So Serbs -- all Serbs, wherever they may be -- now deserve whatever happens to them? I remember those things too, and I also distinctly remember the ethnic cleansing of Serbs (and Jews, and gypsies) from Kosovo after NATO successfully waged an unprovoked war on what was then Yugoslavia, and the ethnic cleansing of Serbs from the Krajina. In light of such history, I certainly don't blame Serbs for wanting to defend themselves, provided only that they avoid immoral means of doing so. I don't think adopting a coat of arms that gives pride of place to the Serbian eagle and lion quite qualifies as immoral means.
