Bosnia: Supporters of Islamic State stab imam who opposes it

Dec 9, 2014 7:31 pm By Robert Spencer

Selvedin Beganovic“In an open letter earlier, Beganovic condemned the calls on young men in BiH by Bilal Bosnic, an imam in the nearby village of Buzim, to join Islamic State and fight in the wars in Syria and Iraq. Beganovic was then verbally attacked by radical Islamists, who set his car on fire and threatened to kill his children, Dnevni Avaz said. He said he believed that such persons were behind the stabbing.”

Here is yet another illustration of why we don’t see more sincere Islamic reformers: “Imam who condemns Islamic State stabbed in N-W Bosnia,” Dalje.com, December 9, 2014 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

An imam of the Islamic Community in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), known for his opposition to the recruiting of young men in BiH to fight for Islamic State, has been stabbed and seriously injured, Dnevni Avaz daily said on Tuesday, adding that police were investigating the attack.

Selvedin Beganovic, an imam in Trnovi near Velika Kladusa in northwestern BiH, was attacked last night, saying a masked person stabbed him in the left shoulder and hand. “When he tried to stab me in the stomach, I managed to defend myself and punched him, after which he stumbled and ran.”

In an open letter earlier, Beganovic condemned the calls on young men in BiH by Bilal Bosnic, an imam in the nearby village of Buzim, to join Islamic State and fight in the wars in Syria and Iraq. Beganovic was then verbally attacked by radical Islamists, who set his car on fire and threatened to kill his children, Dnevni Avaz said.

He said he believed that such persons were behind the stabbing.

Bosnic is in custody after being arrested in September with a larger group of his supporters on suspicion of inciting terrorism. The BiH State Prosecutor’s Office has said that an indictment might be filed soon.

    This is one of those incidents where it’s hard to tell who’s being un-Islamic. I think it was the imam – how un-PC of me.

      Hopefully, this cleric will reconsider his beliefs as a result and realize that it is after all a Death Cult and not a worthwhile career. Islam is false because it has no historic foundation and was invented by the vicious Arab clans that fought to rule over their cousins OR MURDER THEM.

    The imam has a fancy hat, a buttoned up collar, and a beard.
    I suspect that he is even wearing an Islamic man dress and can quote sharia law.

    What is wrong with these Muslim?
    Is anyone safe from Islam’s hate?

      ” Is anyone safe from Islam’s hate?”

      None. Not even Muhammad. Check out this picture from Charlie Hebdo…

      It reads:

      If Muhammad is back to life again…

      Muhammad: I’m the prophet, stupid.
      ISIS beheader: Shut up, infidel.

    Why they are using jehad as killing innocent people. As i know their is not any religion in the world who will say that killing innocent peoples will give them heaven. If any thing like this explained by any religion than that is not religion. People opposing Islamic state is killed by the terrorists. Whole world is criticizing Islamic state are they going to kill whole world. Keep out from the nerd mentality. Person like Hitler are not able to fulfill their dreams and suicide. You peoples are very small but thinking is same to them. Stop this otherwise you will not find a place in this world.

    Being an Imam and missunderstanding real Islam will make you pay with your life.
    The most interresting thing about this attack is that bosnian muslims are the most tolerant and best educated muslims on planet earth.
    Therefore it is not easy to guess how Islam really is.
    The most die hard western conservative measured by muslim standards is a superliberal ,decadent heretic.

    A religion of peace which feeds itself by an endless red stream of blood.

    Question is, why would he condemn the actions taking place in Syria? He very well knows that they are following Muhammad’s example, and the Qur’an quite clearly supports it. Knowing that, one would think that perhaps he would have a moment of clarity and see what an evil ideology it is and how it’s that way “because” of his prophet.

      the reason is very simple.
      It is called selective perception.

      He has built a peacefull version of islam in his mind where no violence exist.
      Either he ignores the violent facts or the acceppt every cheap excuse to justifying them.

      People do underestimate one thing.
      No matter how primitive and violent islam is -combined with the Umma it is a very effective web of lies and deceit that put their believers into obedient lemmings
      and as islam does not allow criticism or alternatives reasonable,positiv people will find a way to create a peacefull version of islam as there is no place for a cruel god and a cruel prophet in a good religion.
      By doing so they become unreasonable as they have to ignore reality and truth.

    But I thought Islam was a religion of peace? Am I missing something here? !!!! M

    I do not buy your argument because you have drawn nothing from substantive sources. The sound of truth is not the sound of logic. Frankly, your case has nothing of either. Islam is ISIS, and ISIS is evil. In its worship and culture, Islam is both profane and corrupt. The substance and history of Islam confirms all I say.

    Never forget that the United States under “Slick” Willy Clinton and NATO mercilessly bombed the Secular and Christian Serbs, destroying nearly all the bridges over the Danube, causing incredible economic damage to Serbia and the region. Hundreds of civilians were “mistakenly” killed in NATO airstrikes. Albanian (Muslim) Kosovar atrocities against Serbs were covered up or ignored by the Western media and the UN, and Muslim lies were knowingly repeated. The result of the war was the complete ethnic cleansing of the native, Serb population of Kosovo and establishment of a corrupt, Muslim terrorist regime.

    The information is fully available all over the internet to those who wish to see, and even directly from the UN, but pointing this out has gotten me banned on a number of forums by racist moderators and “respected” authors who claim that this is all “Russian propaganda” without providing any evidence and completely ignoring any presented.

    The ignorant, overly empathetic, and systemically lied-to Western population and leadership is doing everything possible to ensure the total Muslim takeover of Europe. Simply google news search “Dresden march” to see how the media is smearing the brave citizens who are demonstrating for liberty and the end of the Muslim invasion.

    No, Christy’s right. John Allen Jr, “The Global War on Christians” is good here. Islam is bad and ISIS is awful, but there are plenty of other ideologies that are gunning for The Sunday People.
