Mosque burned in Bosnia Today

Balkan insight reports: Mosque burned in Bosnia on Muslim Holiday

A mosque has been set alight in the eastern Bosnian village of Fazlagica Kula, only hours ahead of the beginning of the Muslim holiday of Eid Al Adha, or Kurban Bajram.

The village is located in the southeastern part of the Serb-dominated entity of Republika Srpska, near the town of Trebinje. Numerous mosques were razed in that area during Bosnia’s 1992-1995 war.

And yes, this has happened today.

Difficult to know how to comment. I guess my feelings are much as most folk's will be. A necessary post, you could say.

Dave, yes, this kind of thing leaves you speechless.

Sarah Francosaid...

really difficult to comment, indeed. Today is the 60th nniversary of the convention against genocide. Sad coincidence.
