Letter: Slaughter of the Sarajevans
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: The slaughter of the innocent civilians last Saturday in Sarajevo has once again vindicated the belief among Muslims that the lives of Muslims are worth nothing. Human rights are only for Christians and Jews. There is now a call for bombing of the Serbs. We have heard that before but the West has no stomach for killing its white Christian brethren.
There are only two solutions. The Muslim Bosnians should en masse convert to Christianity. They are white, after all, and being Christian is a bonus. However, I hope they will be luckier than the Moriscos of Andalusia (the Christians did not believe their conversion and they suffered a similar fate to the Muslims and Jews).
The second option is for the Bosnian government to demand that the Muslim countries break the arms embargo and implement resolutions passed at the numerous Organisation of Islamic Countries conferences. What will the West do? Bombard them as it did Iraq? It would not dare if they were led by Saudi Arabia.
