Never Forget the Muslim Holocaust in Bosnia By Andrew L. Jaffee, September 18, 2003	Home   Search   Forum   Terms

Today was a tragic day for Bosnian Muslims. A mass grave containing the bodies of approximately 500 Muslims was discovered in eastern Bosnia, near the town of Zvornik. Never forget the Bosnian Muslim Holocaust. Never forget that during the turmoil of Yugoslavia's disintegration from 1992 to 1995, Serb soldiers and militiamen massacred thousands of Bosnian Muslims:

The remains of 17,000 people have so far been found in mass graves in Bosnia. The fate of more than 16,000 is still unknown.

Never forget Srebrenica, Bosnia:

...the world's first United Nations Safe Area, [which] was the site of the worst case of genocide in Europe since World War II. In July 1995, the Bosnian Serb army staged a brutal takeover of the small, intimate spa town and its surrounding region. Over a period of five days, the Bosnian Serb soldiers separated Muslim families and systematically murdered over 7,000 men and boys in fields, schools, and warehouses.

Dutch soldiers wearing blue UN peacekeeping helmets stood by and did nothing while the Serbs went on their evil rampage in Srebrenica. While I am never surprised by the ridiculous impotence, corruption, and mismanagement of the UN (Syria heading the Security Council!?), I was shocked as the U.S., Europe, the Muslim countries, and the rest of the world stood by and watched the Serbs commit another Holocaust. How many Holocausts are too many? Gee, ya' think we should let the U.N. take over in Iraq? (NOT!)

I have to respect then-U.S. President Bill Clinton for finally putting a stop to the Serbs' murderous rampage -- led by Slobodan Milosevic -- of the 1990's. Clinton had the guts to stop the Serbs from massacring Kosovo's Muslims in yet another Holocaust.

More evidence of the Bosnian Muslim Holocaust was found today. It was a reminder of what really happened -- what the Serbs really did:

The experts have not yet reached the bottom of the grave, which measures 40 metres by five metres.

Among their discoveries were the remains of about 10 children aged between one and 12, buried in a corner of the grave with women believed to have been their mothers.

They included a child shot in the head and another with a bullet lodged in its spine.

Never forget. Never again. Liberty forever.
