Uništavanje sakralnih objekata!!!
uvod
Početak agresije na Bosnu i Hercegovinu nije samo promijenio živote miliona ljudi. Karakteristika tog perioda je i enormno razaranje religioznih objekata, u najvećem broju objekata islamske arhitekture. Bio je to dio plana uništenja i negiranja bosanskih tekovina, stoljećima stvaranih u međusobnom kontaktu ljudi različitih kultura, religija i imovinsko-socijalnog statusa. Za agresora je to bio, a jeste i danas, oproštaj sa "nečistom" prošlošću, početak jednog boljeg sutra i konstruisanje vlastite, čiste, srpske stvarnosti usred Bosne i Hercegovine.
Zajedničko kulturno naslijeđe navedeno u donjim spiskovima, je dobrim dijelom uništeno, preorano, prekriveno asfaltom, ali još uvijek živi u mnogim dušama, svjesnih težine tog čudesnog bosanskog kulturnog naslijeđa, taloženog jedan čitav milenijum u susretu različitih kultura i religija.
Vlada Republike Bosne i Hercegovine svojim proglasima, obavijestima na engleskom jeziku pokušala je u oktobru 1992. godine skrenuti pažnju svjetske javnosti na ove barbarske zločine srpskog nacionalističkog aparata. Tako je i nastalo ovih 5 proglasa koje imate priliku pročitati na ovoj stranici.
Prvi, treći i peti proglas, bulletin odnosi se na islamske objekte- ukupno 613, drugi na krišćanske objekte - ukupno 84, a četvrti na 9 hrišćanskih objekata. Spisak nije bio konačan i kompletan. Mnogi od ovih objekata su 2006 spomenuti pri izlaganju optužbe BiH protiv Srbije i Crne Gore pred međunarodnim sudom u Hagu.
Napomena: Spiskovi su napisani engleskim jezikom.

DESTRUCTION OF RELIGIOUS OBJECTS
Bulletin 1
State Commission for Gathering Facts on War Crimes in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina Bulletin no. 1 Sarajevo, October 1992. Bulletin 1, (TR version) Art. 1.4
The continued aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina has not only jeopardized the lives of millions of people. It has also caused enormous destruction of many religious objects and buildings of value to the Islamic Community. Deliberate, planned destruction of everything that has been built for centuries in this country, done by contemporary vandals, Serbo-Montenegrin Chetniks and Yugo-army, has caused invaluable damage to the Muslim architectural heritage in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the whole Balkans. In this aggression and in this uncivilized campaign, even the most sacred architectural gems of Islamic architecture, Gazi Husrev-Bey mosque, Imperial mosque (Careva dzamija), Magribia mosque in Sarajevo, Imperial mosque in Foca, Sultan Esme mosque in Jajce, Karajoz Bey mosque in Mostar, as well as many others, have not been spared.
Destruction of Islamic architectural structures today is actually a continuation of earlier programs of genocide against Muslims. The "Vasojevic law" from the first half of the 19th century contains a paragraph that legalizes and encourages this practice.
That barbaric tendency is encouraged in the programs of all Serbian nationalistic organizations. Many islamic objects that are now levelled to the ground, were in previous periods of turmoil also damaged. Even prior to current events, a hatred has been exercised against Muslim artifacts and objects. The very memory of 500 years of existence of Islam in this country has been challenged and violently removed. But the hatred of Serbian- Montenegrin aggressor and local Chetniks of Serbian origin has reached bottom in these times. The world has recorded nothing like this. That is confirmed with this list of destroyed and damaged objects of the Islamic Community in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Unfortunately, this list is not complete and final.

The State Commission for Gathering Facts on War Crimes wrote on August 14, 1992 to (the Metropolitan of) the Dabro-Bosnian Diocese of the Serbian Orthodox Church, asking them to submit all available data on the sacred complexes of the Serbian Orthodox Church damaged and destroyed due to the aggressor and other war activities in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Likewise, the Commission also asked the (Metropolitan) to submit data on the violations of the status of its holy officials, including murders, wounding, physical punishment, hostage-taking, or any other form of physical or psychological maltreatment.
