SARAJEVO: Bosnia's Muslims have inaugurated their new spiritual leader who will replace the man who led them for nearly two decades.
Husein Kavazovic took his post on Thursday in Sarajevo as the head of the Bosnian Islamic Community, which counts more than two million members. He is expected to be as open-minded and devoted to the principles of Islam’ as his predecessor Mustafa Ceric was. Mustafa, who served the maximum two terms in role, led Bosnian Muslims for 19 years without allowing them to radicalise even though they were the main victims of the 1992-95 Bosnian war. His idea of Islam is based on efforts to harmonise Islam and European secular values.—AP
