Summary/Abstract: On 10 February 2013, in a private house in Konjic, in Southern Bosnia and Herzegovina, the renowned leader of the country's Kharijite (or neo-Kharijite) extremist community – Husein "Bilal" Bosnić - addressed a group of his devotees. Among other things, he told them: "Islam means following orders. Enslavement to Allah (swt) brings delight. There is no person who has not heard of mujahideen. It is only sad that we are not with them [in Syria], so we pray to Allah (swt) to resurrect us as shaheeds [martyrs who died fulfilling 'God's command']".
