Yeah you learn Cyrllic, the serbian alphabet. This is your we don't want an islamic bosnia result. You're being thought Serbian alphabet, which is so beneficial, but you're not thought the Arabic alphabet.

I learned Cyrllic before the war because we were thought both Latin and Cyrllic in former Yugoslavia

Serbian is 'ekavica' dialect written in Cyrllic while croatian and bosnian are written in latin and ijekavica dialect

The Serbian Cyrillic alphabet (Serbian: српска ћирилица/srpska ćirilica, pronounced [sr̩̂pskaː t͡ɕirǐlit͡sa]) is an adaptation of the Cyrillic script for the Serbian language, developed in 1818 by Serbian linguist Vuk Karadžić.

And nice touch with the communist flag.

Why teach your children Arabic? Because it's the language of the Qur'an.

Of course no one will want to learn Bosnian in the rest of the world. Why? Unless they have some specific business in Bosnia why would anyone want to learn Bosnian? It's only spoken in Bosnia.

Arabs and Pakistanis I met in Bosnia all spoke fluent Bosnian.

Even Chinese who own all the convenience stores now speak Bosnian (shocked me pretty amazing)

It's like asking me why I haven't learned Somali? Why would I want to learn Somali if it's only used in Somalia? All Somalis speak English in Canada because English is the local language. English is an international language, so is Arabic. But Bosnian or Somali? Nope. Just to make a point.

Actually it is the pre-war bosnian former yugoslavian socialist flag which has its origins in the socialist communist movement

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social...nd_Herzegovina

The official former yugoslavian flag was the star with gold border and blue on top, white in middle and red on bottom stripes. There were a few party variations too, such as the hammer and sickle. I know because I was in Former Yugoslavia before Bosnia became an official independent country.

Regardless, a Muslim has no business in being a nationalist, and all these made up flags are meaningless. This holds true for all Muslims not just Bosnians. Your mentality is not exclusive to Bosnians, it's exclusive to everyone around the world. Nationalism divides us it doesn't unite us.

Former Yugoslavian nationalism and patriotism 'united' people upon the pride of a nation, while erasing religious and ethnic backgrounds (trying to).

Uniting upon Islam is better for us as Muslims, because it too eradicates all preferences and prides of race, nationhood, ethnicity, tribe and cultural dominance. Islam united us through Allah and Islam. Uniting upon anything other than Islam is bound to always fail. Socialist communist and former Yugoslavia failed. Nationalism has failed.

Those Bosnians who still hold onto these old and fabled national prides have only compromised their deen to appease serbs and croats in the process losing their own religion or watering down the religion to please others.

Read my post #42 again:

Have you ever been in Bosnia?

And throw away those nationalistic or ethnic prides.

Muhammad salalahu alaiyhi salam was an Arab and Islam came from Arabia. Islam didn't come from Turkey or Bosnia.

To me being born in Bosnia, having Serb or Croat or Kosovar or Hungarian or Albanian blood means nothing. Living in Canada, is just a piece of land, like all other lands of Allah. What matters to me is being Muslim. And every Muslim to me anywhere if he fears Allah and worships Allah and follows deen ul islam is a brother. Black, white, brown, I don't care.

None of us chose where or when we are born or to whom we're born. We have only a choice in being muslim and obeying Allah or not.
