“ (Introduction)Radovan Karadzic is on trial in the Hague indicted for war crimes in Bosnia. Crimes which included the systematic rape of 20,000 women. In the second of two reports in Bosnia, 14 years after the war Wendy Robins hears from the women who had to pursue justice for themselves.
(Wendy Robins) I hear the Muslim call to prayer just as I arrive in a town close to Prijedor in North West Bosnia not far from the Croatian border. I am with Nusrata Sivach who did not want to meet in Prijedor itself she is too recognisable; people remember her as a prominent judge but she is better known for being raped. Nusrata who is 57 was held for 3 months in the notorious Omaska camp tortured and beaten. During the Bosnian war 20,000 women were systematically raped and in this second programme from the BBC World Service I hear some including Nusrata are doing to pursue justice for themselves 14 years on. Only now has the trial started in the Hague of the man accused of authorising these crime Radovan Karadzic. I asked Nusrata what she would say if she had 5 minutes alone with him.
‘I would never allow myself to meet this monster, he was a Doctor he was a Psychiatrist, he had a wife, son and daughter. So he knew very well what if meant to rape a mother, daughter and sister. And he knew that when he ordered a massive rape of Bosnia women, he wanted this exodus and ethnic cleansing, and because he knows what virginity means to Muslims and Muslim women, because the Muslim woman is the backbone of the family. So I wouldn’t allow myself to ever be even 1 meter away from him.
It is not true when they say it was like rape in any other war because here in Bosnian it was different because it was meant to be the destruction of those who were not Bosnians because they wanted a clear Bosnia for Serb people.’
One woman who’s helped collate the testimonies of 15,000 raped woman across the country is Fadila Memesivich, she runs the Society for Threatened People. She told me and our translator what horrors she herself had witnessed.
‘It was shocking in January 1993 our bus arrived in Sarajevo full of pregnant women and draped with a banner saying ‘A present from the Serbs to the Bosnian President’. All these women were detained in camps and permanently raped, they were kept until they got pregnant and when it was too late to have an abortion they were released. All were hospitalised and needed Psychological help, old women, young girls and minors were raped too. I knew a 7 year old who was raped and died. It lead not only to psychological damage but also physical damage. One woman I knew was raped and then the rapist pushed his rifle into her vagina, she survived but has been an invalid ever since.’
Rape was as much an everyday weapon here as bullets and bombs. Women raped in front of their parents, in front of their children, fathers forced to rape daughters all it seems with one aim the destruction of a national identity.” (Click here to listen to the whole programme)
This is the blatant truth which is only being exposed now 14 years after the crimes were committed. Yet many Muslim will find excuses for the kuffar. On the blog ‘Between the Lines’ there has been a string of blogs one after another putting the blame on Muslims for actions of others. We the Muslims are to blame for the apostasy of people like Ayaan Hirsi Ali, we are to blame for the racism of the kuffar towards the Muslims. It was amazing to read that when a commentator on the blog ‘Between the Lines’ mentions the following
“Maybe then, just maybe, some of our sisters and brothers who believe in ‘making 70 excuses for the spiteful disbelievers’ will step out of their bubbles and give up their boxes of a hunky dory kushti life, rubbing shoulders with those british/english that hate and attack you”
It is rergarded by the blog as “Such hatred is not Islamic. If we use such nasty language how how does it make us any different? Islam came to abolish racism, not substitute ‘race’ for ‘religion’ and continue to be racist.”
So please go and tell the Bosnian women who were raped to not call the kuffar “Spiteful disbelivers” as this language is nasty. Open your eyes and smell the coffee the situation is black and white.
