Bosniak American Advisory Council for Bosnia and Herzegovina: Bosnia - Not a Finished Project  BAACBH strongly disagrees with agreements that challenge BiH's sovereignty and equal rights for all of its citizens, regardless of ethnicity, religion, or language. On November 8, 2008, a meeting took place between party representatives Sulejman Tihić (SDA), Dragan Čović (HDZ), and Milorad Dodik (SNSD) who unanimously agreed on a number of mandates concerning constitutional reform... Reply letter from the president - elect  Thank you for congradulating me, and for your kind words and support. I’m receiving thousands of messages right now from across the country and Americans around the world. I am honored and deeply humbled by the confidence the American people have placed in me and Vice President-elect Joe Biden.  Your election marks not only a new direction for American politics, but also signals a new beginning for the entire world. I urge you to remember and stay true to your message regarding the importance of tolerance and diplomacy, and reaching across the “political aisle” and listen to what those who disagree may have to say. Senator Barack Obama, President and Senator Joseph Biden, Vice President – Elect of the United State of America  American Bosniaks truly appreciate and will not forget what you have done for Bosnia and Herzegovina over the years. As you are aware, the work in Bosnia and Herzegovina is not yet finished. Recently Milorad Dodik, Prime Minister of the Republika Srpska, a smaller entity in Bosnia (RS), stated that he planned to lead the RS entity to separation from Bosnia.  Today, we are reminded of his strength and dedication for Bosnia and Bosnian people. We remain indebted to him for being our voice and for giving us the courage needed to begin anew after the genocide that traumatized our lives. For his endless support and dedication to peace and human rights in Bosnia and Herzegovina, BAACBH honors the remembrance of Congressman Frank McCloskey. SARAJEVO (gm): The continent should try Srebrenica as a lesson.  Srebrenica with all its tragedy doesnt need the recognition of the colossal crime for itself, neither Bosnian Muslims do! On the contrary a day of mourning to commemorate victims of the greatest unresponsibility is needed by Europe to secure its own prospects and ideas. Europe should have clear reminders of to encourage its poeples to fight xenophobia, rasism and genocide. Exclusive for Bosniaks.Net by maestro Phil Simmons  About a year and a half ago, I wandered into the Northbrook Mosque. I was a little nervous, not knowing quite what to expect, but with a clear idea in mind: the creation of a concert to demonstrate collaboration between the Moslem and non-Moslem communities in Chicago. Based on my past experience with cultural exchange programming, I was confident this effort would lead to greater understanding and cooperation.

An exclusive interview, for Bosniaks.net, with Nazee Popal
CELEBRATING RAMADAN IN CANADA Autor: Željko Milićević  I come from Afghanistan which is a predominantly Muslim country. We have very strict religious customs to follow, e.g. men and women do not mingle in gatherings, women do not go out without proper attire and head covers. Men usually work out side and are the providers and women take care of their children and home. I speak two local languages, Pushto and Farsi, and two foreign languages i.e. Urdo and English. Afghanistan has a very troubled history. We have been through many wars and conflicts. Most recently, in the past thirty years, Afghans fought Russian invasion in the 1980’s, went through a civil war in the 1990’s, and in this decade the country is fighting hard for freedom and independence. |
