The Srebrenica Massacre, also known as the Srebrenica Genocide,was the July 1995 killing of more than 8,000 Bosniak men and boys, as well as the ethnic cleansing of 25,000-30,000 refugees in the area of Srebrenica in Bosnia and Herzegovina, by units of the Army of Republika Srpska under the command of General Ratko Mladić during the Bosnian War.
the Srebrenica massacre is the largest mass murder in Europe since World War II. In 2004, in a unanimous ruling on the "Prosecutor v. Krstić" case, the Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) located in The Hague ruled that the Srebrenica massacre was genocide,the Presiding Judge Theodor Meron stating:
By seeking to eliminate a part of the Bosnian Muslims [Bosniaks], the Bosnian Serb forces committed genocide. They targeted for extinction the forty thousand Bosnian Muslims living in Srebrenica, a group which was emblematic of the Bosnian Muslims in general. They stripped all the male Muslim prisoners, military and civilian, elderly and young, of their personal belongings and identification, and deliberately and methodically killed them solely on the basis of their identity
Bosnian muslims killed many serbians and croatians also. "ORIC" was recently arrested, he was a bosnian muslim that killed numerous serbs cut their heads off and carried them around and put videos of it all over the world. Both sides are guilty.

there is no innocent party in the Balkans. Anybody that knows anything about the region knows that. I spent over a year at DLI learning Serbo-Croatian from native instructors (Serb, Croat, Bosniak, and Montenegran) and every one of them would tell you a completely different version of their history. It's all sad, but there was no one "bad guy" there. Ask any outsider that knows the Balkans and they'll tell you the exact same thing.
So because Muslims have commit barbaric acts against others, we shouldn't acknowledge that this is a horrific situation?
