[QUOTE="Orion, post: 984292, member: 6843"] Linguistically and genetically, Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks are same people. When i say same, i mean absolutely the same. It's undisputed historical, archaeological, linguistic and genealogical fact. But that isn't the point, is it ? Because contrary to what Adolf thought, nation cannot be exclusively defined by genes. Pitfalls of that are evident to anyone with a hint of lucidity. But problem is, while Serb and Croat national histories are mythical, traditional in it's foundation (usually featuring a mythical, not well documented King who found the state, which was back then populated with only loosely connected Slavic tribes), Bosniak and all other "new" nations histories are entirely secular modernist. So as with every nation of tradition, it was the state that founded people, not vice versa, however to an average Bosniak, it is of utmost importance to dispute Serb or Croat right on having self-rule in Bosnia on basis that Bosnia belongs to "Bosnian" people, and by Bosnian they mean not only Muslims, but Bosnians as some sort of descendants of Bogumils, which is another complete partisanship on their part in trying to figure out the metaphysics of state and state foundation. Existence of Serb and Croats ethnicity is based on established historical reference points, such as religion, traditions, customs, etc. That being said, so is Bosniak ethnicity. But they have major problem in claiming their right to entire Bosnian territory, since if their arguments fall on logic of Bosniakness of certain Kings or important individuals, not figuring out the pitfalls of such position, which deprives them of metaphysical concept of their own supposed state. That is the reason why Bosniaks cannot conceive of their independent state which is not in the borders of entire territory of Bosnia, which is why they are ardently opposed to any Croat or Serb self rule. In otherwords, they made material Bosnia their god, not transcendent one. That is why Serbs or Armenians for example, could establish their states after centuries of Ottoman rule. Because Serb/Armenian state as such transcendent concept, never left minds of people, and most importantly, intellectuals. In fact, they were established with particular ease. [/QUOTE]
