BOSNIA–HERZEGOVINA AT WAR: RELATIONS BETWEEN MOSLEMS AND NON-MOSLEMS

YESHAYAHU A. JELINEK

Beer-Sheva, Israel

During the Second World War, Bosnia and Herzegovina were a part of the Independent State of Croatia, a German–Italian satellite The ruling Ustasha movement wished to remove Serbs, Jews and Gypsies from Croatian soil The Moslem inhabitants of the region were categorized as Croats by the regime who claimed to grant them all rights and privileges. Moslems participated in the bloodbath which the Ustasha initiated against the proscribed minorities.

This article argues that Moslem dignitanes repeatedly protested the iniquities of the Ustasha regime, both towards their people and against the minorities. These protests emphasized the traditional Moslem tolerance in relations with members of other monotheistic religions While Moslems shared numerous advantages of the regime, they were discontent, and the protests were among the signs of the dissatisfaction.
