Before the aggression on Bosnia-Herzegovina, Zvornik had a Bosnian majority, however today it is a town dominated by ]. Those Bosniaks who once lived there for generations prior to the "war" (aggression), are today either in other parts of the world having been driven out through ethnic cleansing or like many other Bosniaks; somewhere burried in mass graves around ] having been raped, shoot and killed in cold blood. | |||
| My aim on Misplaced Pages is to protect Bosnian articles from those, hopefully few, editors who readily classify as ] and ] hard line nationalists. And also to make the articles completly ]. I, on the other hand, can assure anyone - who has doubts towards me - that I in no way carry nationalistic thoughts with me or that I will try to cause a bad reputation for any ethnic group in my edits. My interest with politics is purely to spread justice, truth and not propaganda. I hope to give a dimension to the articles that will illuminate them from perhaps an even more true angle, and to give a voice for those humans who lost their lives to the wicked minds of ], ], ], ] and many more, who were all elected through democratic elections in the first place. | |||

A weapon embargo is never bad, but to establish it on a conflict, where two of the three contending parties have weapons and the third doesn't, is offensive, shameful and the denial of every man's right to defend himself and his family.]] | |||

| == Brief Introduction To The History Of Bosnia and Bosniaks == | |||
| The earliest well known inhabitants of Bosnia and Herzegovina are the ]. This ancient people were influencial to Bosnia for thousands of years, however the Illyrians eventually lost control of the ] after engaging in several wars with the ]. | |||
| The Roman province of ] was established and the Illyrians continued to live under Roman rule. The Illyrians were renowned for their military prowess and they became an important source of manpower for the Roman army. Several notable Roman emperors came from Illyria, including ], ], ] and ] as well as the Byzantine emperor ]. | |||
| The ] fell approximately year ], and the Illyrians in Bosnia enjoyed a relative independence for a brief period. However, in the 6th century, Slavic tribes started to settle the area which was under ] at the time. The Illyrians, who had been under foreign rule for several centuries, lacked the necessary strenght to protect their culture and language from the invading Slavic tribes, who were renowned known for their brutality and aggressiveness. | |||
| Within the nearest three centuries the Illyrians, in what would become ], were assimilated into ] customs and ] was developed amongst them. | |||
| As a distinct political entity, the country of '''Bosnia''' presumably originated sometime during the Dark Ages with the collapse of the traditional tribal social structure and advent of feudalism. The name ''Bosnia'' (Bosna) originates from the Illyrian word of '''Bosona''' which means ''running water'', the name was established by the Slav-influenced Illyrians who inhabited the lands surrounding the river '']'', located in the Bosnian heartland. | |||
| This people would later be called, in old Bosnian language, '']'' (In ]: ''Bosniensis''). Over the next centuries, 10th and on, the Bosnjani had their own ] ] which was separated from ] and ] christianity. This was a reason for the neighbouring christians to send crusades towards the "heretic Bogomil" Bosnjanins. | |||
| Being under constant persecution many of the ] abandoned the ] and converted primarily to ], and in lesser extent ] christianity. There are several examples of Bosnian regents being Bogomil in religion, but converting to Catholicism in order to avoid persecution and remain at the power. However, the Bogomil religion had survived among Bosnia's rulers as late as until the 15th century. One example is the last Bosnian queen, ], who confessed herself to "heretic beliefs" but turned to Catholicism at the dawn of ] invasion of Bosnia, this in order to seek allies in Rome that could guarantee the independence of Bosnia - she did however not recieve any support. | |||
| As Bosnia was occupied by the ], almost all of the Bogomil Bosnjanins converted to ] in a rapid speed, also catholic and orthodox Bosnjani converted to a certain extent. But many stayed catholic or orthodox. | |||
| The ] found protection from Catholic and Orthodox churches under the rule of Ottomans, who brought with them a new religion, Islam, that had striking likenesses with the Bosnian Church. Many of the Bosnjani also converted to Islam because they wished to keep their power and influence under the new Muslim rule. | |||
| As the Ottomans ruled Bosnia, the name "''Bosnjanin''" was transformed into "Bosnjak" (In ], ]), proper translation is although '''Bosnians'''. The translation '''Bosniaks''' has however come to be the prefered one, because the ] nation '']'' is usually but wrongly translated as Bosnians. | |||
| After some 500 years, the Ottomans lost control of Bosnia, and the Bosniaks lost a strong ally and protector. Bosnia was now a country dominated by Muslim Bosniaks, and the Catholic and Orthodox Bosniaks were immediately incorporated into the Slavic neighbours of Catholic Croatia and Orthodox Serbia through national manipulation. | |||
| Eventually Orthodox Bosniaks started to go by the name of "''Bosnian Serbs''" and Catholic Bosniaks as "''Bosnian Croats''". The remaining Bosniaks, the Muslim ones, were the target of discrimination during ]. And were even forbidden to be called Bosniaks, as the name was abolished by ] and ]. | |||
| In the early 90's, when Bosniaks voted for Bosnian independence, Serb and Croat leaders ] and ], agreed that it was necessary to split the "Serbian and Croatian land" of Bosnia in to two parts - a croatian and a serbian one, which would each be connected to Great Croatia, respectively Great Serbia. | |||
| There was no place for the Bosniaks, or "'']''" as they were called by the Serb and Croat leaders. In the eyes of Croat and Serb nationalists, Bosniaks were either "Muslim Croats" or "Muslim Serbs" who had betrayed Serbia or Croatia during the Ottomans, and needed to be punished. | |||
| And so the ] began, with the ethnic cleansing and systematic war rape of Bosniaks on Bosnian territory - leaving 200.000 Bosniaks dead. The Bosniaks had, before the aggression, inhabited a majority of Bosnia's areal, but are in post-war Bosnia reduced to a rough 30 per cent - though they make a majority of Bosnia's population. | |||
