Bosnian Muslim character of the ARBiH

Ok, to make things clear, extremely large number of scholars referred to the ARBiH as a "Bosnian Muslim army". Regardless, the Sarajevo-based "Istraživačko-dokumentacioni centar" published a date few years ago, stating that 97% of those who died in the ARBiH were Bosnian Muslims (1.4% were Croats and 1.2% were Serbs). Also, 1% of Bosnian Muslims died within the Army of Republika Srpska, almost equal to the percentage of Serbs who died in the ARBiH. Therefore, it is silly to claim that the Army of Republika Srpska wasn't a Bosnian Serb army. It was, same as the Army of the RBiH was a Bosnian Muslim army. All data can be easly found here. There's some interesting statistic there, I recommend visiting the site if interested. However, I will not insist on putting the "Bosnian Muslim" label. --AnulBanul (talk) 07:50, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

I have never claimed that an imminent majority of the Bosnian army wasn't consisted of Bosniaks. But I really can not find the essence of this designation. Why is it so important to entitle the Bosnian army as Bosnian Muslim, and not the Army of Republika Srpska as Bosnian Serb Orthodox army, or HVO as Bosnian Croat Catholic army? Also, The majority of the Bosnian Muslim population considered themselves as Bosniaks at the time, so the only relevant denomination is Bosniak Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Well, I think you know that the term Bosnian Muslim is more often used for Bosniaks in English-language texts, therefore I used that term. But Bosnian patriot-oriented is just crap, if you know what I mean. Republika Srpska, patriot-oriented... pff. --AnulBanul (talk) 18:15, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
