Introduction
European historiography from ancient times onwards records countless raids of various Eurasian tyrants and their hordes who regularly abounded massive murders, rape and persecution, almost as a rule, in most civilian parts subdued or occupied population, women, children and the elderly, as well as captured enemy soldiers. However, the background of the last genocide against Bosnian civilians just needs to be scientifically unmasked in its deep roots and proved to be a very old and since the medieval times periodically renewed strategic project by the European centers of power aiming for permanent nullification of a European country and destroying its legal and legitimate owner, the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Perpetrators of the genocide were only the last link in the chain of overall developments in this field, and the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina don 't need to search for a background or rout the germ of this monstrous crime in a supposedly modern and civilized world and European unity. Bosnia and Herzegovina is a country well known for its religious and cultural character. It is stated in the heart of a so called modern European community, surrounded by hungry Orthodox and Catholic wolves waiting for the right moment to tear its Muslim roots apart. They have tried several times, to be more specific, ten times they tried to wipe out the Muslim population which is a stain on the European map in the eyes of the non-Muslims.
10 Genocides
First Genocide of the Muslims in Bosnia and Herzegovina happened 584 years after the First Crusade and lasted from 1683. to 1699. This is the first genocide and the first real, large and collective tragedy of Muslims that occurred during and after the great war, also known as Vienna war between the Ottoman Empire and Austria. Since the Turks lost all their possessions and power in Hungary, Slavonia, Lika, Krbava, Dalmatia and the Bay of Kotor in the war, all the Muslims from these countries and regions which failed to promptly withdraw in Bosnia and other areas south of the Sava and Dunav were vigorously and fastly killed, exiled, assimilated and converted into Catholicism, just as the Muslims in Spain two centuries earlier. The initiator and organizer of the first genocide was the Church. As two centuries earlier in Spain, all the facilities of the Islamic material and religious culture and civilization: mezaristans, tombs , kutubhanas, hamams, bezistans, imaret, musfirhanas, clock towers, mosques, madresas, fountains, and hans on the territory of Hungary, Slavonia, Lika, Udbina, Krbava, Dalmatia and the Bay of Kotor were demolished and destroyed. Muslims and their sacred objects, for only sixteen years of Christian devastation (1683 to 1699) could not be preserved and saved by the fact that they ruled the same countries and regions one hundred and sixty years earlier, since 1526 until 1683, and that they guaranteed all human, religious, cultural and economic rights to the Christians.
For the first genocide of Muslims, the most important is to say that the war between Turkey and Austria, and that the victims were Muslim Bošnjaks.
Second Genocide against Muslims happened at the end of 17th and beginning of the 18th century, specifically in 1711. a night before Christmas Eve. That night a so-called "investigation of renegades" (renegade-turned Turk) was carried out when around a 1000 Muslims which, according to relevant evidences, then lived in the "Old Montenegro", which consisted of only four districts with headquarters in Cetinje, were either killed or fled to NikŠic and Tudemile village near Bar.
Strategist, preliminary promoter and agent of the second genocide against Muslims was again the Church, but not Catholic, but Orthodox, which is now in Montenegro. For this assertion there are two irrefutable testimonies: first, the "investigation of renegades" that is, the genocide against Muslims actually happened on the night before the Christmas Eve, which is the biggest and holiest of Christian holidays, and second, this event, "investigation of renegades" was sung by the Bishop - the highest ecclesiastical dignitary and poet Petar II Petrović Njegoš in the ' 'Gorski vijenac ' '. He thus provided ideologically epic background and paradigm for all subsequent genocide against Muslims of Serbia, Sandžak, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina. That is how Njegoš as the largest Serbian-Montenegrin poet and bishop, or the holder of the highest religious and secular authorities, sung, dedicated, and turned his poet into a supreme act of genocide or an international crime under which implies a conscious, deliberate and planned as a whole or partial destruction of national, ethnic, racial or religious groups.
The motive for genocide is the desire for plunder and enslavement, racial, national and religious hatred and prejudice. All these motives are described in the ' 'Gorski Vijenac ' ' and the religious hatred against Muslims Njegoš pronounced with the words "Odža riče na Cetinju" (Hodža roars on Cetinje) and the averment of exclusivity between the muslim moon and star and the cross.
Third Genocide against Muslims, which famous Serbian historian and diplomat Stojan Novaković labeled as "general extermination of Turks" happened on the ground of Serbia between 1804 and 1820 as a result of the First and Second Serbian Uprising. Since the beginning of the 19th century Serbia and Montenegro, wanted to create their own national states by persecution and murder of Muslims and at their expense they wanted to expand it. In the third genocide, besides the Orthodox church which played the key role in the second genocide, it was joined by historians and politicians, of course, with poets like Njegoš.
Fourth genocide against Muslims took place in the period between 1830 and 1867, as a result of Hati-š-Šerif in 1830 and its annexes from 1833, with which Serbia gained the status of an autonomous vassal principality within the Ottoman Empire, but also the ability to expel Muslims from Užice, Šabac, Soko and Belgrade, which occured from 1862 to 1867. All displaced Muslims Porta settled in Bosnia and for them raised two new villages - Upper and Lower Azizija and Bosanski Šamac and Orašje.
Fifth Genocide against Muslims, mainly Albanians and Turks, happened on the territory of Serbia and Montenegro between 1876 and 1878. After the uprising in Herzegovina, moved and guided with the help of Serbia and Montenegro, the Berlin Congress occurs (1878) on whose articles and decisions, former autonomous principality of Serbia and Montenegro gain full state independence, but also greatly expand their territory. That is how Serbia territorially expanded with districts as Niš, Pirot, and Vranje, while Montenegro expanded in Herzegovina. Muslims were immediately completely exterminated from all of these districts and regions despite the fact that Serbia, according to the decisions of the Berlin Congress, pledged to respect the religious freedom of Muslims. Although the regions of what is now southern Serbia were by that act completely deserted and lost population, which caused great harm to the countries agriculture, the hatred toward Muslims was even greater and stronger than any benefit and interest. In the period from 1862 to 1878 for only sixteen years, several hundred mosques, many clock towers, musafirhanas, imarets, hans, fountains and kutubhanas, in Belgrade, Šabac, Užice, Soko, Niš Pirot and Vranje, as less than two centuries, took place on the soil of Hungary, Lika, Kordun Udbina, Dalmatia and Boka, were destroyed. So, two genocides, form two different enemies, with exactly the same consequences occur in a different period in only sixteen years.
Sixth Genocide against Muslims is a result of the Austro-Hungarian occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Although Austro-Hungaria is the last legal state which ruled Bosnia and which guaranteed basic religious-spiritual, physical, biological and material-property rights, to all the citizens. Muslims initially resisted by all available means to the Austro-Hungarian occupation. Immediately after, but during the occupation, the Muslims began emigrating to Turkey, Sandžak, Kosovo and Macedonia, the states which where still under Turkish authorities. Thus comes to radical reduction in the population of Bosnia and Herzegovina. According to the census from 1879, Muslims constituted almost 39% of the population of Bosnia and Herzegovina, while their share of the population in 1910 dropped to around …show more content…
32%.
Seventh Genocide against Muslims of Sandžak and Montenegro, as well as the attempt of forcible conversion of Muslims in Plav and Gusinje, is a direct result of the First and Second Balkan War. It was the seventh genocide of Muslims of the Balkans, and the first of the Muslims of Sandžak, because there was no authority to protect them.
Eight Genocide against Muslims lasted from the foundation of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes in 1918 until the fall of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1941. The lives of Muslims in the first Yugoslavia had no value. That is why on 7th November 1924 approximately 600 Muslims were killed without any reason and guilt in the village Šahovići in Bijelo Polje. In Herzegovina, the kings committees ordered by plan and system, over three thousand extrajudicial and undiscovered, but well-known murders, of course, committed on Muslims. These killings and intimidations influenced the change of ethnic images of Eastern Herzegovina at the expense of Muslims and in favor of the Serbs and Montenegrins. Nineth Genocide against Muslims lasted from 1941 to 1945. According to previous researches of Kocović, Zerjavić, Dedijer and Miletić, all of them non-Muslims, World War II took the lives of 103,000 Muslims or 8.1% of the Muslim population at that time. Most of the Muslims in this war were killed on their doorsteps, gardens and fields by the neighborly Četniks '. In the first nine genocides, Muslims did not oppose to their butchers and villains by weapons. On the contrary, since 1683 until 1992, over 309 years, we were expecting that the butchers and the enemies wold say: "We will forgive you for slaughtering you and in the future we will have compassion." That never happened, and that was our biggest illusion, delusion and self-deception.
Tenth Genocide, the most brutal, savage, and the biggest genocide against Muslims in Bosnia and Herzegovina lasted from April in 1992 until December 1995. According to the latest reports, the war has taken with itself about 100,000 to 110,000 of Bošnjak mothers, fathers, sister, brothers, and relatives, and displaced about 2.2 million Muslims, making it the bloodiest conflict in Europe since the end of the second World War. The Genocide, in some parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina was slow and fearful, while in some parts like in Srebrenica, was fast and surprising, where in just 7 days around 10 thousand Muslims were brutally murdered. In many ways this war is exceptional unlike the other nine. It was more cruel, brutish, wider and deeper in scale than the previous ones. This is the first genocide against Muslims in which at the same time, in a way, Serbia, Montenegro and Croatia all participated in it. In the previous nine genocides Serbia and Croatia never both together committed genocide against the Muslims. However, despite all the suffering, persecution and slaughter of Muslims in the last genocide, for the first time, they organized, as a nation, decisively through the army, police, politics and the state by all means to fight and oppose to the Četniks and Ustašas, by the only arguments that they understand and cherish. So this, 10th genocide, by the crimes, scope and structure planning has exceeded all the previous. It included: genocide, ethnocide, urbicide, culturicide, rape, christianization and everything else that common sense can not imagine. Some of the consequences of the 10th genocide, speaking in dry figures, against Bošnjaks are: Number of killed Bošnjaks is more than 200,000 of which over 22,000 are children, number of wounded is 240,000, of which 52,000 are children, number of handicapped 100,600, of which over 4,000 are children, number of raped women is 40,000, the number of missing persons is 53,600, of which 28,420 from Srebrenica and Žepa, the number of villages that were completely destroyed is 475, the number of cities that were occupied is 61, the number of concentration camps (in B&H.
Serbia, Montenegro and Croatia ) is 397, the number of damaged and destroyed to the ground buildings of the Islamic material and religious culture and civilization surpasses the figure of 1200 of which is 618 mosques only, the percentage of the total housing stock destroyed is about 36%, only in Srebrenica, for seven days, in July 1995, 10,748 people (mostly men) were killed and taken, and the rest of the Bošnjak population was
banished.
Conclusion
' 'Eleventh Genocide ' '
All the aggressions and genocides against Bošnjaks is part of their history. The genocides lasted nearly four Ages (1683 - 1995). The hungry wolves came from the East and from the West, depending on in which historical period the genocide was. Causes of genocide against Bošnjaks, are ideological and conquering in nature, to completely destroy them. The enemies craved to entirely destroy and banish the Muslim Bošnjaks from the heart of Europe for a long time, and they still have it inside of them. These ten genocides should never be forgotten, especially the last one, because the one who forgets his history will relive it again and nobody wants to watch the slaughtering of his family with his own eyes, like our Muslim ancestors.
