Bosnian Muslims suffered uniquely methodical persecution from both nationalist sides

Evidence

Bosnian Muslims-and those who would share a bodypolitic with them-have been the victims of a consistently more brutal and more methodical violence. Even in the context of the conflict between Croatian and Serb nationalists, who engage in expulsions and atrocities against each other’s population as a continuation of the conflict of World War II, the Muslim population has been separated out and treated (by both Croat and Serb nationalists) with particular cruelty. — Michael A. Sells, The Bridge Betrayed, 83
