Burqa ban unlikely in Bosnia

Oh come on now! Let's apply best European practices and standards all the way around now instead of picking and choosing which ones you want. If France and other nations in the "enlightened" states can ban this barbaric practice, why can't Bosnia?

This reeks of hypocrisy.

Oh come on....the "Bosniaks" got what they wanted. So, let all their women wear the burquas.

Ohh now we see the racism of RS.

Racism?
Go and tell it to France or are just too busy sucking up to them to say a word?
It's so easy to accuse Bosnian Serbs of everything now isn't it?
It is a security issue. How do we know who is entering the banks? If bike helmets have to be removed when entering a bank why not this?
How do we know all wearing this are peaceful Muslim women?

Ohh now we see the racism of RS.

Islam was brought to this region by the Ottomans. Turks gained control of most of Bosnia in 1463, and seized Herzegovina in the 1480s. In the centuries after the invasion, a large number of South Slavs converted to Islam. Bosnia and Herzegovina remained provinces of the Ottoman Empire until the 1878 Congress of Berlin gave temporary control of the region to Austria-Hungary. In 1908, Austria-Hungary formally annexed the region.

Bosnia, along with Albania, were the only parts of Ottoman Europe where large numbers of Christians converted to Islam.

Under Turkish rule, much of what used to be central, eastern, and southern Yugoslavia took on a distinctly Islamic character.

Who are you?

To his critics who considered this the final betrayal of his Bosnian Muslim roots, he replied that: "My father was an atheist and he always described himself as a Serb. OK, maybe we were Muslim for 250 years, but we were Orthodox before that and deep down we were always Serbs, religion cannot change that. We only became Muslims to survive the Turks.

Peggy, your right. But your also wrong.

Bosnia has a Majority of Muslim faith people, whilst Catholic and Orthodox are minorities.

So why would they Ban the Burqa?

I'm not a Muslim, but I don't see any point in doing so.
