Religious leaders react to patriarch's passing

Readers may juxtapose the accurate and sincere condolences of Mufti Muamer Zukorlić of Serbia's Islamic community with those of Bosnia's Mustafa Cengik, whose words upon closer inspection infer that it is not he or Muslims that respected His Holiness Patriarch Pavle, but only Orthodox believers. If Mr. Cengic would like positive relations and constructive dialogue with his Orthodox Christian neighbors, he might consider evolving his Izetbegovic-style loyalty to Islamist-jihadist ideology, and embrace a more constructive approach to mutual co-existance.

Editor, In my previous post, I incorrectly identified Bosnia's Mufti as Mustafa Cengic (like Hasan Cengic) as opposed to Ceric. Please note correction. Hvala

Russell is right. I was just about the say something similar.
Ceric is the only one whose reaction was more of a political nature and didn't really want to say good things about the patriarch. He spoke more about how the Orthodox perceived him instead of speaking about his own feelings toward the man.

Clearly he didn't want to praise the patriarch but had to say something.
