The Archbishop of <b>Sarajevo</b> claimed that there are already 3-5,000 Wahhabis in BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA and the group is seeking to gain influence in society. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6sK7oCMN8Y99Y73mMNcjg5e4EfWnavNs6-eSUiSJ5v2168gI5gqHY517JS76x411nxHsA_pJr0CP4HZQQ6NKPbrkugWGSujRr5daOwzo0s1RhTFEzJl1Vg7mjMFsHDQlzZsrhAf2c1RUt/s1600/48554944.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6sK7oCMN8Y99Y73mMNcjg5e4EfWnavNs6-eSUiSJ5v2168gI5gqHY517JS76x411nxHsA_pJr0CP4HZQQ6NKPbrkugWGSujRr5daOwzo0s1RhTFEzJl1Vg7mjMFsHDQlzZsrhAf2c1RUt/s320/48554944.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Catholic,Orthodox Churches and Mosque </span></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">According to the Cardinal, nobody in the government has the courage to do anything to prevent this development. Unconfirmed church sources claim that more than 100,000 young BOSNIAN Muslims have encountered Wahhabi Islam through organizations such as Active Islamic Youth, Furqan, Muslim Youth Council, student organizations such as Demus and social networks. Cardinal Puljic added: “In recent years, at least 70 new mosques have been built in <b>Sarajevo</b> alone.”</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">KING FAHD MOSQUE, ALLEGEDLY A MAGNET FOR MUSLIM FUNDAMENTALISTS</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Reports state that SAUDI ARABIAN money funded the reconstruction of <b>Sarajevo’s Husrev Begova Mosque</b> which included the removal of internal mosaics in accordance with <b>Wahhabi aesthetics</b>.  Another new mosque, the <b>King Fahd Mosque</b>, which is the country’s largest Islamic place of worship, was described by one report as a magnet for Muslim fundamentalists.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">While mosques are being built or repaired, Cardinal Puljic pointed out that building approval for churches can be delayed for years – adding that Church property confiscated under communism has still not been returned. According to the Cardinal the government seems to have no interest in giving Catholic Church property back to its rightful owners, where on the other hand most of Muslim property has been returned.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The Archbishop of <b>Sarajevo</b> claims that Catholics are systematically disadvantaged.
