Muslim women in Bosnia have protested against a bill put forward by the Bosnian Serb Party requiring a ban on veils.

[Bokababe]

There has been no tradition in Bosnia of women wearing veils, since the days of the Ottoman Turkish rule. This is new and imported from Saudi Arabia.

From Wiki on Nadija Dizdarevic: A Bosnian citizen. She is known for the efforts she has made to draw the world's attention to the extrajudicial capture and detention of her husband, Hadj Boudella.[1] Boudella was captured by American intelligence officials, and transported to detention in the US naval base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.

Dizdarevic has organized demonstrations, sit-ins, and hunger strikes, to draw public attention to her husband's case.[3] Dizdarevic collapsed and was hospitalized ending her most recent hunger strike, on December 9, 2005.[4].

On January 23, 2006 Dizdarevic laid kidnapping charges against former Prime Minister Zlatko Lagumdžija, former Minister of the Interior Tomislav Limov, the warden of the prison where her husband and the others identified as the "Algerian Six" were held, and various other employees of the Interior Ministry.[5].

On January 30, 2006 Dizdarevic was interviewed by the German magazine Der Spiegel.[6]In her interview she asserted that her husband's lawyers could not inquire too closely about the conditions of his detention, or he would be punished. But she had been assured by other detainees, who had been released, that Guantánamo guards had regularly shown disrespect to the Qur'an. She had asserted, just as firmly, that the guards were routinely beating children in Camp Iguana.

Three children were detained at Camp Iguana, Asadullah Abdul Rahman, Muhammad Ismail Agha and Naqibullah. They were all sought out by journalists, following their release on January 29, 2004. While they did report highly abusive treatment and interrogation while they were at the Bagram Prison in Afghanistan, they alone of all the prisoners at Guantánamo were treated well, once they arrived in Cuba. They were allowed showers twice a day, were allowed to play soccer and video games, and were provided with schooling for the first time in their lives..

Approximately a dozen other minors were detained in Guantánamo, within the general prison population. And some of them have reported, through their lawyers, the very harshest treatment. But they were not held in Camp Iguana..

The allegations of Qu'ran desecration and child abuse from Dizdarevic Der Spiegel interview were picked up and repeated by Qatar's Al Jazeera and Turkey's Kavkaz.[7][8].

On 20 November 2008 US District Court Judge Richard Leon ruled, in Boumediene v. Bush, that the USA had no credible evidence to justify the detention of Boudella and four of the five other men.[9] In telephone interviews Dizdarevic called on Bosnian authorities to followup with a demand that the men be immediately released:.

“Bosnia my love” my foot!!!! What Yusuf islam is doing is spreading more propaganda to enable islamic (and Saudi) conquest, as usual. An Orthodox Christian Serb has more love in his or her little finger than Yusuf islam has in his whole being!

Free Republika Srpska!!!! Free Radovan!!!!

These females need to serve their masters the Saudis. They deserve each other.

As for Catty Stevens certainly took a turn to lunacy years ago.

Peace and love and “death to Rushdie”. You can’t have both

He was boring before his turn to lunacy and worse after.

"As for Catty Stevens certainly took a turn to lunacy years ago."

Yes he did.

"He was boring before his turn to lunacy and worse after."

As a person, maybe. But his music, definitely not.

Truth is, even before 9/11, I never forgave Islam for taking Cat Stevens music away!

[eleni121]

We have different musical tastes..I was never into folksy jazz op music...can’t dance to it! I fid it trite and boring. Preachy. Just like him. Catty is a creep.

[Bokababe]

We have different musical tastes.

My musical tastes are pretty broad.

But Cat Stevens was just the music of my college days-- a kind of bookmark for that period of my life. I hear, "Oh Very Young" and it's like I can see, taste and smell my youth before it (like Cat) disappeared.
