I love the land itself as I'm probably more "Bosnian" than any member around here, because from an area which was the core of medieval Bosnian state hail 60% of my ancestors.
That was area controlled by Kings directly even as the state expanded.
Bosniak (especially serious) practice of Islam and their belonging to wider Islamic civilization is something I don't and will never agree on as it is simply not in European spirit.
Today it is a state that exist upon certain agreements and circumstances.
As direct cultural and ethnic heirs of old Bosnian kingdom I respect central Bosnian Croats, and surely I do not approve of their reduction in influence that has been going on since Dayton.

It didn't sting one bit. You are still young and have plenty of energy to use racial epithets. I don't.
Yes, the Bosniaks previously only identified as Muslim back then -- until Tito realized their ethnic identity. It's no different with Bosnian Serbs and Croats who identified as only Orthodox or Catholic... until the age of nationalism (19th century) when they began to identify as Serbian or Croatian based on the medieval kingdoms who aligned with Catholicism, and one other, Orthodoxy.
BUT...
Bosniaks exist, they are three million strong, and they have half a country that needs to be fully theirs. To deny them of this, you will have to pull a Darfur on them. Are you prepared for that?

One of the former republics of Yugoslavia.
Well, Serbs and Croats in Bosnia need to accept reality. That reality, is the reality of Bosnia and Bosniaks. They're here to stay. They have a culture, an identity, a country and you cannot simply deny their existence. To pursue a radical nationalist agenda, will only push them to extremism -- and that's them embracing extreme Islam -- which is what I don't want to see happen.
I find them fascinating.Your nick and avatar are giving different impression.

i come from "RS" as long as it is inside Bosnian border i don't care,if they try something more they will end up loosing it all.Learn from the pastWhy don't Bosniaks accept reality that Republika Srpska exists and needs to have all the rights guarantied by Dayton agreement. Looks like we have some double standards here.
