The Rising Demand for an Islamic Republic of the Balkans
American Chronicle, CA November 17 2008
By Dr. Muhammad Shamsaddin
There has been a lot of discussion about Bosnia; and there has been a vast debate about Kosova.
Several voices reminded to the rest of the apathetic world about the misadventures of the Turkish and Muslim minorities in Bulgaria that consist in ca. 20% of the entire local population. Scarce articles have been published about the tyrannized Muslims of Voivodina and Sanjak.
Romania is a failed state with numerous oppressed and disregarded minorities that have been comfortably pushed to migration; how European for a EU member state with 30% of its labor force dealing with agriculture of a certainly Prehistoric times' background.
The Bulgarian animosity against everyone demanding formal recognition of the Macedonian minority shows only a small part of the extent of the grave problem.
In fact, Bulgaria is a fake state that simply cannot further exist; from the Turkish – Bulgarian border until the Bulgarian – Macedonian frontier, Turks, Pomaks, Roma, and Macedonians have been reduced to second (if not third) class citizens. This situation cannot and will not continue.
The problem is clear; the nefarious results of the treaties following WW I may have been to some extent resolved thanks to much desired and even more deserved dissolution of the Yugoslavian plague, but the problems created by the signature of the irrelevant, peremptory and malignant Treaty of Bucharest (1913) still persist.
As a matter of fact, all the explosive problems we have come to attest in Bulgaria, Macedonia, Kosova, Albania, Sanjak, and Bosnia are related one way or another to the colonial Treaty of Bucharest that turned the Muslim majority of the Balkans into many, divided and impotent minorities comprised within fake borders of otherwise meaningless national states that were absolutely unsolicited by the then majority of the vast area concerned.
Today's Balkans' Muslims decided to speak openly, and state explicitly the injustices made to them because of the shameful Bucharest Treaty. The ensuing bloodsheds and tyrannies, and even more particularly the troubles of the last 17 years, are some of the consequences of the evil treaty that has to be canceled with the rise of the Islamic Republic of the Balkans. This would be the only way for irrevocable peace in the Balkans.
In the present article, I want to merely report about the IHH-organized Balkan Symposium and the speeches given in that fantastic opportunity for many thoughtful and erudite speakers to tell the Truth. In forthcoming articles, I will explain how an Islamic Republic of the Balkans will help prevent further Balkan wars in today's Serbia's, Bulgaria's, Kosova's and Macedonia's territories.
Muslims Call for New unity Efforts in Balkans
Chief muftis of Balkan countries agreed that Balkan Muslims were made orphans after the retreat of the Ottomans, underlining new unity efforts must be speeded up.

The IHH-organized Balkan Symposium that focused on envisioning future in the Balkans lasted for two days.
Chief muftis of nine Balkan countries who for the first gathered together discussed significant issues. The chief muftis said ideologies that prioritize ethnic and religious differences are problematic and the restoration of the Ottoman model that was based on peace and tolerance would contribute to peace in the region.
Problems and future of Balkan Muslims was discussed during Balkan Symposium that was held at Istanbul Grand Cevahir Hotel. Chief muftis of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, Albania, Macedonia, Bulgaria and Greece gathered together at the IHH-organized symposium after long years.
Delivering the opening speech, IHH President Bülent Y?ld?r?m said Turkey should strengthen its historical and cultural relations with Muslims in the Balkans again to reassert itself in (...)
