Alija Izetbegovic was born in 1925 in northwest Bosnia - a corner of Europe with a predominately Muslim population but a regime that censured the practice of Islam.

 Alija Izetbegovic
Alija Izetbegović (August 8, 1925 - October 19, 2003) was a Bosnian Muslim activist and politician, president of Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1990 to 1996 and member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1996 to 2000.
The chef prosecutor of the Hague’s war crimes tribunal, Carla Del Ponte, has stated in early 2004, that if Izetbegovic was still alive today, he certainly would have faced major war crimes indictments, as is evidenced by the 2004 war crimes indictments of his closest deputies.
Izetbegović was born in the northern Bosnian town of Bosanski Šamac, one of five children born to a distinguished but impoverished family descended from former Ottoman aristocrats.

Izetbegovic helped lead an ill-defined entity inhabited by three ethnic groups down a tortured path of war and independence, poverty and conflict and hatred and instability.
Izetbegovic will remain a controversial figure for two related reasons: his Islamic fundamentalism and his unwillingness to abide by an agreement that would have prevented war and secured independence for Bosnia.
Izetbegovic served as commander-in-chief of the Army of Bosnia and Hercegovina and was, thus, criminally responsible for the acts of his subordinates, pursuant to several articles in the Statute of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY).

 Kiss Me, Kate: Putting Visions of Religious Convergence to the Test
Izetbegovic's vision casts Judaism and Christianity in classical Muslim terms: Islam is the ultimate manifestation of the primordial religion of Abraham, Muhammad the "Seal of the Prophets," and Judaism and Christianity are incomplete, defective manifestations that can achieve coherence only within Islam.
Izetbegovic pursues a later form of this analysis, in which Muhammad's prophetic predecessors come to personify Islam's rival traditions: Moses stands in for Israel and Jesus stands in for Christianity.
While Izetbegovic's thinking is in line with this classical Muslim account of its two rival monotheisms, he adds something new: A Hegelian emphasis on dialectical progress that makes Judaism's exotericism a thesis, Christianity the antithesis that attempts to overcome it by esotericism, and Islam their true synthesis.

Izetbegovic is not significant in himself but r ather because he exemplifies processes occurring elsewhere.
Islam, in Izetbegovic' view, escapes the too Christian/European dialectic of religion and nationali sm because pure Islam, ideal Islam is not mere religion: it applies alike to the inner and outer life; it couples belief with action in a single, equal accent.
Islam, according to Izetbegovic, should not be invoked for purely expedient political ends; rather, it should be invoked to serve a higher goal, and that goal is justice.

Thus, on August 28, at the beginning of a fateful week, Izetbegovic and the Sarajevo leadership were in Paris for a summit originally planned to sanctify the US-led NATO military escalation against the Serbs in response to their anticipated rejection of the Peace Plan.
The Serbs were publicly demonized anew just when Izetbegovic was coming up with a peace plan which was essentially a non-negotiable ultimatum, and which the US was racing to embrace while the UK and France were adamantly opposed to such a one-sided approach.
The Izetbegovic regime in Sarajevo is the strongest proponent of this vision.

As President 'Ilija Izetbegovic has written in his book Islam Between East and West, Roger Bacon "set the entire structure of English philosophical thought on two separate foundations": inward experience, which leads to spiritual insight, and observation and experimentation, which leads to true science.
President Izetbegovic continues that there is "another important fact about Roger Bacon which has never been sufficiently studied and recognised: the father of English philosophy and science was really a student of Arabic"; indeed, he lectured at Oxford in Arab clothes.
He was strongly influenced by Islamic thinkers, especially by Ibn Sina, and to this influence can be attributed the character of Bacon's thought and, through him, the origin of the middle way as the single most important guiding principle in English life, encompassing many dimensions, political, social, moral, and spiritual.

Alija Ali Izetbegovic, now president of Bosnia-Herzergovina, in his profound book 1 has reminded us that Islam is the middle way between ascetism, or religion in the narrow sense of the term, and materialism.
The author, in spite of being a committed Muslim, seems a hopeless pessimist (which, however, is not borne by his courageous and unflinching struggle for Bosnia).
The good Alija Izetbegovic had come under the spell of that post-war pessimism before he fought the good fight for Bosnia-Herzergovina and, let it be said, for all humanity, as the brave Iraqis and others who have stood up against the technological might of the modern-day Goliath.

Alija Ali Izetbegovic was Muslim genocidal maniac in his own write.
That Bill Clinton and his folks didn't see this can only be explained by their having been the greatest lot of idiots to ever lead a great nation or they were in the employ of evil in one of its various guises.
Izetbegovic dressed western and always looked neat, and underneath that appearance was a mind and heart as dangerous as Ramzei Youssef or Usama bin Laden.
