As Bosnia was part of ex-Yugoslavia, where the state had more or less strong negative influence about practising religion, now there need to grow the whole new generation which hasn´t any experiment about such influence or maybe more than one generation before people learn to practice Islam again. We shouldn´t be too judging as they have had different environment where being openly religious might not been socially respected.

I met Bosnians at the first time when they came to my country during the war as refugees. Being part of group of human right workers was strange expirement when I was revert with hijab and Bosnian sisters were born Muslims and none of them had hijab at all but very western-style clothing. Also after that when I have met some Bosnians, they never talk about religious matters. Well, some maybe, I don´t want to generalize but I just talk about what I have experienced.

Its very hard to approach people with Islamic knowledge, people are very misguided here, their thought of Islam is completly wrong and different from the truth.
So unfortunately I dont invest that much effort into that
Sura al Baqarah
[h=2]Indeed, those who disbelieve - it is all the same for them whether you warn them or do not warn them - they will not believe.''[/h]

Their misconceptions and wrong opinions are due to prevalent false propaganda against Islam but it's our duty to make them known to Islamic teachings. I understand it's a tough job for you. At least you can do dua for their hidaya. Invite them to join islamicboard if feasible.

Today is the 22nd anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre. I was 14 back then and remember the event from the news. Some evil people slayed thousands of Muslims in front of their non-Muslim protectors. That must mean something to us...
 
I remember it too. I had said shahada just few months ago and it felt real bad to see how the world treated my new sisters and brothers.

After that I worked in human right workers group which also helped Bosnian refugees as I wanted to do my part to help them.
