Abstract

In the late 20th century, the Bosnian Muslims took the civil war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) as an opportunity to start engagement with the Islamic community in the Middle East. While providing humanitarian and military aids to BiH, countries like Saudi Arabia also exported various Islamic sectarian ideas, including Salafi jihadism or jihadist-Salafism, the most typical ideology of Islamic extremists, to the nation. During the civil war and post-war reconstruction, some marginalized Muslim youths, deeply influenced by those radical and belligerent ideologies, joined the Salafi sect. There have been many conflicts between the extremist sects and the highly-secularized Muslims in BiH due to their differences in religious practice and living habits. Thus, to avoid radicalization and alleviate sectarian conflicts, the nation needs to stay alert to the infiltration of extremist religious thoughts, embrace religious and cultural diversity, and establish a mechanism for equal communication.
