ISLAM UNDER TERRORIST ATTACKS (1992-1995):

During the Bosnian war which took place between the 6'th of April 1992, and the 14'th of December 1995, the Bosnian Serbs, supported by the Serbian government of Slobodan Milošević and the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA), have done a long list of massacres, mass murders, and war crimes against Muslim Bosniak, the most famous were:

   1. Bridge murders

   2. Pionirska Street fire and the Bikavac fire

   3. Paklenik massacre

   4. Bosanska Jagodina massacre

   5. Barimo Massacre

   6. Perućac Lake exhumations

   7. Siege of Sarajevo

   8. Srebrenica massacre

   9. Mass rape 

The 44% of the Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina population was Muslims. All of them faced ethnic cleansing, especially in eastern Bosnia and throughout the Republika Srpska. The Mass Rape was the main signature of the Bosnian Serbs where an estimated total of 20,000 to 50,000 Muslim women and Muslim girls (some aged as 12 years old) were raped. In addition, the Serbs soldiers applied forced abortion to many women who were pregnant. All this was done in full view, in complete knowledge and often with the direct involvement of the Serb local authorities, particularly the police forces. According to documents of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), based on the victims reports, some 3,000 Bosniaks were murdered during the violence in Višegrad and its surroundings, including some 600 women and 119 children.
