As far as I know situation in Bosnia as former SFOR member, there is system of "White Al Qaeda" operating on the Internet. For example, group "Maximus" namely Mirsad Bektasevic and Cesur Abdulkadir were recruited over the Internet. Latest arresting in Austria prove existence of Internet jihadist: "It's been three weeks since the Global Islamic Media Front (GIMF) put out an ad for a translator to help with the growing workload in terror news. "Brothers and sisters with English language skills are especially sought," wrote a GIMF member. "We're looking for someone with time to sacrifice for Allah and thereby support the jihad." Instructions were to send an e-mail response, after which one would receive "a little job" in return.
So, comment like above mentioned do not surprise. Internet jihadist exist such as Prenj.
Regarding Prenj comments, just to mention that there is case Darko Trifunovic vs. Bosnia and Hercegovina on 500 000$ US (Тел: 00387 (0) 33 707 165
e-Mail: pios@registrarbih.gov.ba

00387 (0) 33 707 225
because he was fired by Muslim Minister of Foreign Affairs o fake ground. Real reson for that were discovering of Darko Trifunovic existence of Al Qaeda connection at UN Bosnian Mission at NYC (see. case of Benuvalencia International Foundation, Global Relief Agency, case of Saffet Catovic, Muhamd Sacirbey etc..)
Internet Al Qaeda work well with intention to work against all groups or individuals or institutions engaged to fight against Terror and Terrorism.
So, Prenj is perhaps some World known expert or distinguish professors with several published book on the subject who can estimate or judge who is expert and who is not.

I am very much surprised to see that "former SFOR member" (http://www.nato.int/sfor/organisation/sfororg.htm) is familiar with cyrillic alphabet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrillic) which makes him a very peculiar "former SFOR member".

Mr.Prenj, please do not make confusion. I understand that it is not so easy for the Muslim to accept that ALL MUSLIM ARE NOT TERRORIST, BUT IT IS FER TO SAY THAT ALMOST ALL TODAY TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS ARE MUSLIM'S. Your Muslim fellows believe such as Yassir Arafat winner of Nobel Prize that state of Israel shell be erase from the Earth. Or, generation's of Bosnian Muslim's grown up with the ideas of Ayatollah Khomeini

In Bosnia there are some terrorists at large who are not Muslims, but for some reason Trifunovic, "the expert", is not interested to write about them, though they killed more people than all world Muslim terrorist together, which only proves that this place is just another Serbian lobby site ...
Bosnian grave yields over a 120 victims
AFP Published:Oct 04, 2007
SARAJEVO - The remains of what are believed to be more than 120 Muslim victims of the Srebrenica massacre have been exhumed from a mass grave in eastern Bosnia, a forensic expert said today.
"So far we have exhumed 19 complete and 105 incomplete skeletons," Murat Hurtic of Bosnia’s Missing Persons Commission told AFP.
The grave, located outside the village of Zeleni Jadar, about 15 kilometres (10 miles) south of Srebrenica, is thought to contain the remains of at least another 50 people, he said.
Some personal documents had also been uncovered from the burial site, which was discovered in September. The remains were crushed and compressed, proving they had been re-buried with bulldozers.
In the final months of Bosnia’s 1992-1995 war, Bosnian Serb forces killed some 8,000 Muslim men and boys in the Srebrenica massacre - the single worst atrocity on Europe since World War II.
Most of their remains were buried in a large mass grave before being moved by Serbs in an attempt to cover up the crime. Thousands have been uncovered from about 60 mass graves around the eastern town.
The main culprits for the crime - wartime Bosnian Serb political leader Radovan Karadzic and his army chief Ratko Mladic - remain at large.
The Srebrenica massacre has been deemed by the UN war crimes tribunal and the International Court of Justice to have constituted genocide.

In an interview with "Glas Javnosti" on October 26, 2003 Dr Trifunovic falsely accused the late President of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Alija Izetbegovic, of having been sentenced to five years' imprisonment in 1946 for being a former member of the Waffen-SS Mountain "Division Handschar".
"Mnogi u svetu, pa i kod nas, zahvaljujuci marketinskim kucama, koje finansiraju Bosnjaci, i jakom muslimanskom lobiju, smatrali su Izetbegovica covekom mira, zaboravljajuci da je 1946, kao pripadnik SS Handzar divizije u drugom svetskom ratu, koja je cinila strahovite zlocine u BiH, osudjen na pet godina zatvora."
http://arhiva.glas-javnosti.co.yu/arhiva/2003/10/26/srpski/I03102502.shtml
"Many in the world, even among us, thanks to marketing firms financed by the Bosniaks [a standard fabrication of Serb propaganda] and to the powerful Muslim lobby, had regarded izetbegovic as a man of peace, forgetting that as a member during the Second World War II of the SS Handschar Division which committed horrible crimes in Bosnia and Herzegovina he had been sentenced to five years in jail in 1946."

The Muslims lies ....they never end with it. War Criminal Alija Izetbegovic and his followers...
The New York Times
October 20, 2003
....During World War II, when Bosnia became part of the puppet-Nazi state of the Croatian Ustashe, Mr. Izetbegovic joined the Young Muslims, a group torn between siding with the German-sponsored Handzar divisions organized by the German SS or with the Yugoslav Communist partisans led by Josip Broz Tito. Mr. Izetbegovic supported the Handzars.
After Tito's Communist government was established in 1946, a military court sentenced Mr. Izetbegovic to three years in prison for his wartime activities. Once free, he earned a law degree at Sarajevo University and remained engaged in politics.
He is survived by his first wife, Halida, who lives in Turkey; a son, Bakir; two daughters, Leila Aksami and Sabina; his second wife, Melika; and his third wife, Amira, whom he married in 1993 under Shariah, the Islamic code of law. In February 1995, the newspaper Slobodna Bosna published congratulations to him on his fourth marriage, without naming the woman.
His major work, ''Islam Between East and West,'' published in 1980, was, by the author's definition, ''not a book of theology'' but an attempt to define the ''place of Islam in the general spectrum of ideas.'' The book argues that ''Islam is more than a religion.''
But Mr. Izetbegovic became better known for a 1970 manifesto entitled ''The Islamic Declaration'' that was widely brandished during the Bosnian war by Serbs as ''proof'' that fundamentalism was about to engulf Bosnia and entrench itself in Europe.
Circulated among Bosnian Muslims, the declaration was seized upon by the Communist government in 1983 as grounds for Mr. Izetbegovic's arrest on charges of conspiring to create a Muslim state. Convicted with 12 others, he received a 14-year sentence but was released in 1988.

There is no telling to what extremes of cruelty and ruthlessness a man will go when he is freed from the fears of eternal punishment, hesitations, doubts and the vague stirrings of decency that go with individual judgment. we find a new freedom- freedom to hate, bully, lie without shame and remorse.
Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.
