Muslims around the world have been protesting against the slaughter of their co- religionists in Bosnia by staging protests in several cities.
In New Delhi, Muslims burnt an effigy of Boutros Boutros-Ghali on Friday to protest what they called the inability of the U-N chief to prevent attacks on Bosnian Muslims.
And in Pretoria, again Muslims showed their support for the Bosnian Muslims, calling the Serbs "butchers".
Thousands of Indian Muslims organized a protest Friday at Delhi's Jama Masjid (mosque).
After Friday prayers, the Naib Imam of Jama Masjid Syed Ahmed Bukhari gave a hard hitting speech in which he condemned the Western countries for what he called the sorry state of the Muslims in Bosnia.
