🇧🇦 On this day, Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina lost one of their greatest heroes — Safet Zajko.
A key figure in the defense of Sarajevo during the siege, Zajko joined the Patriotic League before the war and became one of its most dedicated members. At the start of the aggression, he organized the defense in Buča Potok, Boljakov Potok, Briješće, and Sokolje.
Thanks to the groundwork he laid, the 2nd Viteška Motorized Brigade — one of the elite units of the Army of RBiH — carried on his mission, fighting on Treskavica, Bjelašnica, Igman, and in 1995, in the final battles to liberate Bosanska Krajina.
🕊️ His sacrifice and leadership remain etched in the memory of a free Bosnia.

My message to all: "Cyrus the Great pfp + 🇮🇷🇮🇱🇺🇸✝/⚛"
No we don't care about the freedom of your country in which you do not live in and never set foot in and your father/grandfather stories about Iran aren't objective sources, get a job.

Hijacked Loyalties: How the Nazis Exploited Bosnian Muslim Aspirations
13th SS Division "Handžar"
Of all the Nazi leaders, Heinrich Himmler showed the most interest in the idea of an autonomous Muslim army under German command, seeing in the Islamic world a potential ally against the British Empire. Himmler considered the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) a "ridiculous state." At his suggestion, in February 1943, Hitler approved the formation of an SS division composed of Bosnian Muslims.
Ustaše official Alija Šuljak arrived in Tuzla at the end of March 1943 to mobilize the Muslim population for the Bosnian SS division. For that purpose, with the help of the German SS, he held two rallies in Živinice and Gračanica, where he called on Muslims to join the division. At the request of Himmler and prominent Muslim figures, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, visited Zagreb, Sarajevo, and Banja Luka from March 30 to April 10, 1943, where he campaigned for the formation of the Bosnian SS division.
When they failed to gather the required number of volunteers, the Germans resorted to forced mobilization, taking recruits even from the NDH armed forces, thereby severely weakening several of their units. Ultimately, 3,000 Muslims were demobilized from military service in the NDH to join the division, which greatly harmed the morale of the domobrani and Ustaše. The division's official name was the 13th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Handschar (1st Croatian), a designation meant to reassure both its Croatian and Muslim members. Nevertheless, it became more widely known as the Handžar Division.
Parts of the Muslim elite supported the formation of the Muslim SS division in the hope that it would help achieve national goals. When Pandža was interrogated by the Partisans later in the fall of 1943, he claimed:
"At the founding of the Muslim SS division, we were told that the division would only serve to maintain peace and order in the area of Bosnia and Herzegovina and that it would not leave that territory.”
He stated that al-Husseini had promised him that:
“this division would certainly remain in Bosnia and Herzegovina, that it would be formed and trained there, and that its task would be solely to protect Muslims from those who attacked them.”
He also said he had been told:
“that the division would make it possible for Bosnia and Herzegovina to be excluded from the NDH and for an autonomous Bosnia and Herzegovina to be created, which would join the new German order.”
In reality, the project fell short of the expectations of Muslim autonomists, and the division's formation caused discord among the leaders of Muslim militias in eastern Bosnia. The division—unlike the militias—was an offensive formation capable of military operations beyond Bosnia and Herzegovina, and thus, by recruiting Muslims, it risked leaving their homes, villages, and towns unprotected. Its absence from Bosnia and Herzegovina for training facilitated Chetnik and Partisan attacks on Muslim areas during 1943. This also acted as a catalyst for large parts of the Muslim population to turn their backs on the collaborators and join the Partisans.

🇧🇦☪ A common misconception that Muslims have about Bosnia when they visit is that they assume all the food is halal because Bosnia is a Muslim-majority country. That is incorrect. Always check whether the food is halal and whether what you are buying is connected to Israel. One food you should always be very skeptical of is ice cream—especially avoid ice cream made by "Ledo," a Croatian manufacturer owned by Americans. They used to have a halal certificate, but they got rid of it because it costs less, and they dominate the market in Bosnia, so they don’t fear any backlash.
There have also been disturbing incidents involving bakeries in majority-Muslim areas, owned by non-Muslims, who intentionally used haram ingredients out of hostility toward Muslims. Those places usually get boycotted and shut down, but I’m mentioning this so Muslims who plan to visit are aware of the social climate.
