The true goal of Bosniak political elites is the abolition of Republika Srpska, the removal of its name, and the creation of Sharia-based regions without Serbs, argued legal expert Slavko Mitrović in his column for Glas Srpske.
According to Mitrović, under Islamic doctrine, Bosnia and Herzegovina still belongs to the “House of War” — encompassing all nations and territories not under Muslim control or beyond the reach of Sharia law.
“The ultimate aim of Islamist-oriented Muslims is to live in a single state governed by Sharia law,” Mitrović wrote.
He stressed that political Islam is the logical consequence of this idea — a system in which religion is instrumentalized for political purposes, seeking to subjugate all non-Muslim peoples and states viewed as perpetual adversaries.
“That’s why we’ve heard years of war threats from political Sarajevo — whether voiced by Bakir Izetbegović, who said he ‘won’t give genocide perpetrators an inch of BiH because Serbs are a bad people,’ or by Zukan Helez and Ramo Isak,” Mitrović added.
He noted that hate speech in education and the rhetoric of Islamic clerics have deepened ethnic divisions more than at any point since the post-war period.
Mitrović reminded that Alija Izetbegović, who provoked the bloody civil war in BiH, wrote the “Islamic Declaration” in the 1970s as a political and national manifesto for Muslims, not only in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
“Alija wrote: ‘There is no peace or coexistence between Islamic faith and non-Islamic social or political institutions. The first and most important conclusion is that Islam and non-Islamic systems are incompatible. The Islamic movement must move to seize power as soon as it is morally and numerically strong enough to not only destroy the existing non-Islamic order but also to build a new Islamic government.’”
Mitrović emphasized that no Bosniak leader — political, religious, or media — has ever denied or renounced Alija Izetbegović’s views.
“On the contrary — we see daily threats, the use of unconstitutional institutions as weapons against Republika Srpska and peace in BiH. That has been the hallmark of Bosniak political ambitions before, during, and after the war,” he concluded.
