This song looks to me as if they themselves are saying that they are an "Islamist army" and that they are "fighting for Islam". That seems to me just as “radical and nationalistic and religiously intolerant” as the Serbs or Croats. But it is not seen that way, internationally mainly by the West and neighbors themselves, but rather "only the Serbs were nationalist."
Can you even understand something like that based on a song? Am I wrong?
What do you think Armija BiH and Alija Izetbegovic stand for? Was or is it Islamist and radical or not?
The collapse of Yugoslavia was orchestrated by the outside powers, Britain, US, Germany and so on. It opened up wounds that had been closed since 1945 and aroused fanatical nationalism from Serbs, Croats and Muslims. These flames were fanned by the West, the currency was devalued and social upheavals started.
The goal was to divide and conquer and then enable the place to become exploitable by "investors" that goal was achieved at a great cost in human lives and suffering.
During WW2 an extreme nationalism arose in Croatia which led to the Ustashe, a violent brand of fascism that even caused the Nazi SS to protest the levels of brutality. Additionally the Muslims became aligned with the Nazis and there was even a Muslim SS division, the Handzar division.
The Serbs meanwhile were on the side of the allies, in fact Serbia was bombed by the Nazis because the population refused to endorse a collaboration with them. What did the Serbs get in return?
In 1999 they got bombed illegally by NATO, aiding and abetting the right wing Croats (many of whom openly wore the same Ustashe flag used in the 1940s) and the KLA began to get covert support as they carried out terrorist attacks in the Serb province of Kosovo.
The gullible, uncritical public were fooled (as they always are) by the propaganda machinery into perceiving the Serbs as the "baddies" and the Croats/KLA as principled defiant victims, much as Israel is today depicted as the victim in Palestine.
