"Islamization of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and by that also its army, was the biggest problem that Alija Izetbegovic had to defend before the international institutions and the enemies of the Muslim people deeply infiltrated in many international organizations. At the beginning of the aggression on Bosnia and Herzegovina, foreign nationals from Islamic countries were coming to help in defense to their brothers by faith, Muslims in BiH. They were coming without any obstacles in small groups via Republic of Croatia, went through Mostar and then continued to the Central Bosnia, where they organized special military formations under command of the Army of RBiH. They were mostly engaged in military operations against the HVO troops in the Central Bosnia. In the beginning, those were smaller groups of foreign soldiers calling themselves Mujahideens. The official title of these military troops was:"Muslim Armed Forces" (MOS), under command of the Army of R BiH. MOS had its own organization, management and chain of command, which was not in line with the Law on Armed Forces BiH. The HQ of MOS was in Zenica. Its commander in chief was called "EMIR". They had own insignia, flags and symbols written in Arabic. Their battle marches were also in Arabic, which all together confirmed islamization of the Army RBiH..."
"The processes of islamization of BiH as a state became an issue immediately upon the start of the aggression in 1992. Alija Izetbegovic was directly criticized that he worked intensively on the establishment of the Islamic State in the heart of Europe. Numerous political events were in favour of this accusation, but factual effects of the islamization of BiH did not reach even the initial phase of establishment of such state. In the midst of 1993, when a model of constitutional solution as a Union of three republics had been offered, theoretical preconditions were created that through the Muslim Republic advocated under this constitutional model, in the future, the Islamic Republic could be created at the territory allocated to it within the Union of three states BiH. As this proposed model of the Union of three republics in BiH failed, the idea of potential Islamic Republic at the territory of BiH failed, too."
Extract from the author's bio, p 469:
Ismet Hadziosmanovic was a member of a dissident highly-religious Muslim family that was fighting against communism and remained a key family in the struggle for identity of Bosniak-Muslim people. As founders and actors of political organization "Young Muslims", his father and brothers were sentenced to imprisonment. In the late 80s, the entire family worked together on the establishment of the first Muslim party - Party of Democratic Action (SDA), whose first president was Alija Izetbegovic. At the SDA convention in Mostar in 1990, he was elected for the first president of the Main Board of the SDA Mostar. During this year, he was elected in the top party body - Executive Board of the SDA BiH. Following that, he was elected for the first SDA president for Herzegovina. He successfully organized the 1991 census, when Mostar for the first time became a town with a relative majority of Muslim population. He is one of the founders of the Patriotic League in Mostar and BiH and one of the most deserving for organization and preparation of the Muslim people in Herzegovina for the fight against aggressor.
