re: #9 McSpiff

Beat me to it. Denying what occurred in Bosnia and the former SFRY is just as evil as Holocaust denial in my eyes.

I had some Bosnian kids in my class back when I taught in Alameda. Lovely, hard-working folks. Got to a point after a while when I could spot families in Alameda and realize they were Bosnians.

All the ones I met were quite secular—Reform-style Muslims, I guess. Did stuff for the holidays, but nothing like as observant as the Afghan kids I had.

Once I had the kids write autobiographical essays as part of their graduation projects. One kid began, “I was born when there was war.”
