- Some of the obvious bias in this article can be witnessed by such
- statements as "So, despite strident calls for arms shipments to be
- sent to the Bosnian Muslims, despite the appeals for a 'jihad', no
- Arab leader ventures close to
- ^^^^^^^ ^^^^
- Sarajevo."
-
- In any case, while the writer of the article obviously had the intention
- to denigrate Muslims, Arabs, etc. he or she is not correct in that, at
- least, the Iranian foreign minister (while not an Arab per se) made a
- trip to the area not so long ago. In the recent issue of Iran Times
- there is an article about Iranian donations amounting to about $1
- million which were collected to pay for relief supplies. The article
- also mentions that a number of wounded Bosnians are being treated in
- hospitals in Tehran at government expense.
