Today's @Europarl_EN FAC was massively dissatisfying. They allowed Milorad Dodik to spew such hatred and racism so openly:

"In Europe, they must understand Muslim nationalism. Do they want to have a Muslim country, which will be/part of all terrorist attacks around the world."

He went on to only refer to Bosniaks as "Muslims", he went to on to paint the Bosniaks of Bosnia and Herzegovina as wanting to created an Islamic State, he said that every terrorist attack that's happened has been connected or done by Bosnia's Muslims. Disgusting.

His buddy: Dragan Covic also joined in on the Islamophobia today during the @Europarl_EN in claiming that Bosniaks are trying to establish "a unitary Islamic state".

Meanwhile, Komsic and Dzaferovic highlighted that Covic & Dodik are both highly connected to the Russian regime.

The FAC discussion had all 3 members of the Bosnian tripartite presidency speak: Dodik, Komsic & Dzaferovic. Alongside them, Covic, Member of the House spoke. Both Covic/Dodik were allowed to speak the vilest of Islamophobia. The same propaganda that led to the Bosnian Genocide.

Komsic, the current presiding member of the Presidency and the Croat representative, stated that:

"The most loyal associates of Russia in the Western Balkans are Milorad Dodik and Dragan Covic" and he is 100% right. They are fully supported by Putin and they support him back.

But to hear the same kind of words that were prelude to the genocide in the 1990s being spoken so brazenly at the @Europarl_EN shook me to my core. These continued attacks on Bosniaks and our ongoing debumanisation, racism and Islamophobia are freely allowed in Europe. Vile.

Oh yeah and Covic warned the MEPs of the Bosniak-Muslims "demographic supremacy" and once again ranted on about trying to change the electoral law (something that he's been attempting to fulfil for a while in an attempt to further consolidate power).

Anyway, I am so angry. How dare you @Europarl_EN sit there and allow Dodik and Covic to freely and openly spew racism, nationalist rhetoric, Islamophobic propaganda and conspiracy theories about a vulnerable and marginalised group of people! Marginalised in their own country!!
