Muslims making up a "massacre?" Nah. They never do that!
Outrage over new Srebrenica report
Families of thousands of victims killed near the town of Srebrenica during the Bosnian War have expressed outrage at a new report which concludes that the massacre never happened. More than 7,000 Muslims were killed by Serb forces in Srebrenica in July 1995, in what is seen as Europe's single worst atrocity since World War II.
However, the report by the Bosnian Serb Government says that between 2,000 to 2,500 Muslims died - and it says most of those were soldiers killed in action.
The report also suggests Muslims may have "imagined or fabricated" the massacre.

But the new account suggests Muslim soldiers fleeing in exhaustion may have mistaken military clashes for a massacre which never happened.
Victims' groups were outraged, saying they had not imagined the killing of sons and husbands.
Paddy Ashdown, the British politician in charge of the international presence in Bosnia, described the report as "an insult" and added it was "preposterous".
But the head of the Bosnian Serb government's bureau which produced the report insisted it was prepared "in the interests of truth and reconciliation".
Funny how the BBC doesn't put the verbiage about this alleged Muslim "massacre" in quotes the way they do their ubiquitous references to radical IslamoFacists as "rebels," "militants," and "terrorists" every time they kill innocent civilians.
Along with being the Religion of Peace™, Islam should also be called the Religion of Truth, too.
