Surreal feeling, to be honest. There is a sense of closure now that the nightmare has passed. To all the men from Bosnia who now rest beneath the ground of Syria — your lives were not given in vain. Till we meet again. 💚

MUHAMED HADŽIEFENDIĆ – The Man Who Saved the Muslims of Northeastern Bosnia from Extinction ⚜☪️

Background:

Muhamed-aga Hadžiefendić was one of the shining figures in Bosniak history. He was born on January 18, 1898, in Tuzla. At that time, all of it was part of the Habsburg Monarchy, as Bosnia and Herzegovina was an Austro-Hungarian province granted to the Vienna Court by the Great Powers after the Berlin Congress. His father was a skilled merchant who amassed considerable wealth. His father's wish was for young Muhamed to follow in his footsteps, but Muhamed had little interest in that path. He completed primary school in Tuzla and graduated from the Commercial Academy in Sarajevo.

With the outbreak of the First World War, following the assassination of Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo, Muhamed Hadžiefendić—highly motivated and patriotic—joined the 3rd Infantry Division, based in Tuzla. In fact, he volunteered. The command sent his unit to the Italian front, where they engaged in fierce battles in the northern part of the Apennine Peninsula. They achieved significant successes. By the end of the war, he had reached the rank of lieutenant. With the collapse of Austria-Hungary, the first South Slavic state was formed: the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes. Since he had been part of the defeated army, Muhamed Hadžiefendić withdrew into a kind of clandestine existence. He continued his father's trading business and significantly increased the family's wealth. However, in 1934, he went to Belgrade to attend the Military Academy, where he graduated after four years. He took his exams as an external candidate. In 1938, he earned the rank of major in the reserve forces of the Royal Yugoslav Army. When the Axis Powers invaded the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1941, Muhamed Hadžiefendić was among the many officers who betrayed and broke their oath, immediately deserting the army.

Citizens of Tuzla, Gračanica, Devetaci, Puračić, and other nearby places still recall—based on oral accounts from their parents and grandparents—that Hadžiefendić's Legion played a key role in defending Bosniaks from Chetniks and Partisans, who for a time jointly committed crimes against Bosniaks. Anyone who does not blindly follow the communist interpretation of history understands that the Bosniaks of Tuzla and the surrounding areas would have faced the same fate as the Bosniaks of Eastern Bosnia and Eastern Herzegovina.

After the massacres in Koraj, Tupkovići, and Devetaci, and following the defense of Puračić, Hadžiefendić began seriously forming a unit to defend villages and towns with a majority Bosniak population. On December 22 in Tuzla, the Volunteer Detachment of the People's Uprising under Major Hadžiefendić was established. His fighters resembled other Home Guard forces but were visibly distinct in their uniforms, which incorporated elements of traditional Muslim dress.

For most of 1942, Hadžiefendić’s Legion did not retreat an inch from the territory it controlled. Over time, its ranks grew, evolving from a detachment into the Hadžiefendić Volunteer Legion Group, which by spring 1942 numbered 5,000 soldiers divided into six battalions. The Legion’s continued growth led to a final reorganization in July 1942 into the Volunteer Home Guard Regiment (DOMDO), fulfilling the vision of Tuzla’s Bosniak leaders for a military-security stronghold in the greater Tuzla region.

The political and military situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina became more complex with the formation of the 13th SS Mountain “Handžar” Division. At the end of March, Hadžiefendić was summoned to Sarajevo, where he met with SS Oberleutnant Krempler and took the first concrete steps toward establishing the 13th SS Division. Upon returning to Gračanica, Hadžiefendić wore a German uniform for the first time—paired with a Bosnian fez—signaling his readiness to support the creation of a Bosniak SS division. In late May, he took up a position as an officer in the division. Other officers from the Legion were also invited to join but defected to the Partisans. This marked the end of Hadžiefendić’s Legion.

Immediately after defecting, the former legionnaires began promoting the Partisan movement. The defection of Omer Gluhić gave the NDH (Independent State of Croatia) authorities a pretext to remove Hadžiefendić as the Legion commander, which they did in June 1943.

🕊 Grave in the courtyard of the Jalska Mosque

After Tuzla fell to the Partisans on October 2, 1943, Hadžiefendić neither hid nor fled his home. However, his political opponents held him responsible for the city’s delayed fall to the Partisans. Five days after their entry, Hadžiefendić was called to trial and swiftly sentenced to death. The greatest irony lies in the fact that those who had attacked the Bosniaks sentenced, for “fighting against the Muslim people,” the very man who had organized their defense. Hadžiefendić was executed on October 7, 1943. He refused to be blindfolded, saying: “I am an officer, and I am not afraid to look death in the eye.” His body lay in the sand for nearly a year. Only in the summer of 1944 was it transferred to Tuzla by Topčić’s "Green Cadre" and buried in the courtyard of the Jalska Mosque.

Muhamed Hadžiefendić was resented by his political opponents because:

– during the April War of 1941, he refused to fight for the interests of Greater Serbian circles in Belgrade;
– in November 1941, during an attack by Serbian insurgents from Ozren on the majority-Muslim town of Puračić, and after the fall of Devetaci, he forced Home Guard units from Slavonia to defend it;
– on December 22, 1941, following the Partisan-Chetnik massacre of Muslims in Koraj, he founded the “Volunteer Detachment of the People's Uprising of Major Hadžiefendić,” which he separated from the NDH armed forces;
– politically, he was close to the Bosniak autonomists in Sarajevo, who advocated for the separation of Bosnia and Herzegovina from the NDH;
– during the existence of the DOMDO Legion, Chetniks avoided the Tuzla area entirely;
– the DOMDO Legion did not participate in battles against the NOV and POJ (Partisan forces), focusing solely on protecting Muslim villages from Chetnik attacks;
– he supported the formation of the 13th SS “Handžar” Division, made up of Bosnian Muslims, as the nucleus of a future Bosnian Guard, further weakening the NDH’s military forces;
– together with Omer Gluhić and Meša Selimović, he did not defect to the Partisans on May 10, 1943;
– he did not actively join the 13th SS Division, instead going on “sick leave”;
– during the first liberation of Tuzla on October 2, 1943, he did not defend the city against the NOV and POJ;
– he was an anti-communist;
– no Orthodox village remembers him the way they remember the Ustaša Francetić.

Muhamed-aga’s only “sin” was that he was an anti-communist—which should not be surprising for a pre-war merchant and a soldier of the Royal Yugoslav Army. Hadžiefendić was condemned as an ideological, not military, enemy—against all conventions.

BRUH 😂😂😂😂
They are making English AI videos of us becoming Christians, wth lmao 🤣

Conference of European Rabbis: A Provocation of the Ages 🇮🇱🇧🇦

From June 16 to 18, the Conference of European Rabbis (CER)—a three-day gathering bringing together many rabbis from across Europe—will be hosted in Sarajevo. Founded in 1956 and now headquartered in Munich, the Conference unites around a thousand rabbis operating in regions from Dublin to Vladivostok, with a mission to promote democracy, European unity, human rights, security, and peace in the Middle East. Turns the next page*

The conference is led by Chief Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt, President of the Conference of European Rabbis, known for his dedication to strengthening European-Israeli relations (Excuse me?) and advocating for peace and human rights.

His voice plays a significant role in promoting diplomatic and security cooperation (Cough*)between Europe and Israel.

The mission of the Conference of European Rabbis is based on the belief that: "the restoration of the Jewish state, the State of Israel, in the Holy Land is a manifestation of God’s grace upon the Jewish people, and that Israel’s prosperity goes hand in hand with its moral and religious strength."

According to the announcement, "the main conclusion of this gathering will be a strong public show of support for the Jewish people and their state, Israel, during these difficult times caused by the two-year-long war in Gaza."

So your idea of promoting human rights and peace in the Middle East is to hold a Zionist conference in the Jerusalem of Europe—a city that, 30 years ago, had Hebrew-inscribed, Israeli-made artillery shells fall onto it during one of the longest sieges in modern history, and which, by the way, is 110% anti-Zionist and 120% pro-Palestinian—a majority-Muslim city? That is your idea of peace in the Middle East?

Are you trying to provoke us into violence so you can brand us as the terrorists and Hamas of Europe?

Their picture btw

🖤 "She hugged me, laughed… I didn’t know it would be the last time I’d see her."

Ilhad Kendić, uncle of 15-year-old Hana Akmadžić, speaks through tears after the brutal attack in Graz.

Ilhad was on Vir Island when he heard something terrible had happened. Then came the news: Hana was among the ten killed in a high school shooting. His world shattered.

“I called her right away. No answer. Just silence. My heart broke in that moment.”

Though Ilhad lives in Maribor, he was in daily contact with Hana, who lived in Graz with her family.

The last time they saw each other was just before Eid.

“She hugged me, laughed… I didn’t know that would be our last moment. Only faith is keeping us alive now. May our angel rest in paradise.”

🕊️ The Graz school attack left 10 people dead, including Hana, Kaid J. from Travnik, and Lea Bajrami (15) from Kosovo. The 21-year-old attacker later took his own life. The motive remains unknown.

🕯️ Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un

🇧🇦❌🇮🇱 Cancelled Conference of European Rabbis in Sarajevo: Organizers Say Bosnia and Herzegovina Should Be Excluded from EU Accession Process

They add that the decision to block the conference on European soil is not only alarming but also highly revealing.

“This is a clear violation of EU obligations and values (Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, Articles 10 and 22; European Council Declaration on Antisemitism, 2020). Bosnia and Herzegovina should certainly be excluded from the process of accession to the European Union after this shameful persecution of a European religious group. Sarajevo has declared itself a ‘city of openness and tolerance’ for everyone—except Jews,” the statement concludes.

🕎 Yesterday, the organizers of the Conference thanked former mayor of Sarajevo Benjamina Karić and commended her for hosting the event, as she supported “pro-Israel and pro-Zionist organizations.”
No other Bosnian government official contacted the Conference of European Rabbis.

“We feel unwelcome, and this latest moment of ministerial boycott against European Jewish citizens, who are solely dedicated to promoting Jewish life in Europe and advancing dialogue and democracy across the continent, is shameful,” the statement reads.

They add that CER events encourage dialogue, strengthen interfaith activities, and promote public engagement.

“This is a loss for Sarajevo. We are pleased that the Bavarian government will support the relocation of our event to Munich, and we, as an organization, will continue to support Jewish communities in Europe without interruption,” the statement continues.


🕎 Chief Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt, president of the Conference of European Rabbis, stated that the CER is held annually and was supposed to take place in Sarajevo at the Swissotel.

“Chief rabbis from across Europe, including France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, were to gather to discuss the most urgent issues affecting European Jewish life today, as well as matters of freedom of religion or belief. Shockingly, the hotel suddenly canceled our event,” said the CER statement, obtained by Istraga.ba.

🇵🇸 They claim the cancellation followed an open letter written by Federal Minister of Labor and Social Policy Adnan Delić, which was published in the media.
They emphasize that he called on the organizers to cancel the conference in Sarajevo and, in his letter, sharply criticized the State of Israel, calling it a “genocidal entity.”

🇵🇸🇧🇦 Palestinian Community in BiH: Rabbis Never Had Serious Intentions to Gather in Sarajevo — It Was a Provocation

The Palestinian community in Bosnia and Herzegovina has responded to the announcement and subsequent cancellation of the European Rabbinical Organization's gathering in Sarajevo. They emphasized that there was never a genuine intention for the event to take place, but rather that the aim was to vilify Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Statement:
"In response to the announcement and then sudden cancellation of the European Rabbinical Organization's meeting in Sarajevo, the Palestinian community in Bosnia and Herzegovina wishes to inform the public that, according to all available information, there was never a serious intention for that gathering to actually occur. We believe this was a brutal attempt at media manipulation with the goal of anathematizing Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina for their principled and publicly expressed support for the Palestinian people and their condemnation of the Israeli genocide in Gaza," the statement from the Palestinian Community in BiH reads.

They also condemned the reactions from the European Rabbinical Organization, particularly their remarks suggesting that BiH should be banned from joining the EU.

Guess I clocked it 🤷
