Reality.
Bosnians are known as being extremly non ''islamic''. They're muslims but they don't practice sharia law, they eat pork (but rarely since they prefer lamb and beef) and they drink alcohol... a lot, practice monogamy, when it comes to their women I have yet to see one in a burka and I have yet to see a bosnian man to be outraged by a scantily dressed woman, quite the opposite.
And don't give me last weeks incident in Sarajevo, it was a crazy fool watching too much TV. An incident that won't be repeated in a 100 years.

Yes i know, therefore i didnt understood your statement. ;)
Well the guy in Sarajevo, he's probably just another victim of the war.
Sarajevo, the say it has become a beautiful town after the war, all i know of the town are such places like Snipers alley back in 1992.

I know a muslim Kosovan guy, now a member of the government in Pristina. He drank quite a lot and had no concerns about dietary requirements.

He told me there is an expression in the region "to still carry the cross", which is to say that even though you are now officially a muslim family, and most likely have been for a few hundred years, you still keep a crucifix somewhere in your house, typically in the rafters under your roof. A sort of divine bet-hedging.

Yep, Sarajevo has been beuautiful before the war and it's regained most of it's splendor plus the new ''war sites'' to visit. Hec, I don't know why I havent visited yet, 6 hour drive and I know enough people down there I could crash for 2 weeks at someone's.

Plus, the US hepled Bosnians during the war, so a true Bosnian would never fire at a US embassy

I want to visit Sarajevo next year, just vist some places i know from the past.

They said in the German papers that he was a naturalized former Mercenary from Saudia Arabia who staid in Bosnia after the war, there were many from Saudi Arabia fighting there way back in 92 when i was there.
Most of them brutal and ruthless guys, rumor says most of them continued fighting later on with Al-Qaeda.
