Sir, The genocide against Muslims in Srebrenica isn’t being remembered as other atrocities. For me this is because it was committed by Christians against Muslims. If the tables were turned, we would have heard about it all the time and Muslims being reminded not only about the killings but that it is Islam that is the problem.
You hardly hear that the atrocity was committed by Christians on Muslim. They only mention their ethnicity, Serbs. Even Muslims who talk about the genocide in the media blame it on historical reasons and nationalism but not religion.
And then you hardly hear about the over 30,000 Muslim women – young and old – raped by the Christian Serbs.
Commemoration of the atrocities against Bosnian Muslims is being sanitised and we must make sure speak out against such misrepresentations.
Yours,
