Her father is a Bosniak from Turkey, serbian media is willing to hide this. But a fool can see that her surname testifies of Bosniak heritage, denying this is not neutral. Ancient Land of Bosoni

Any fool...--Hadžija 00:25, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It does not mean that she is turk.. Many Bosniaks have moslem names and arent turkish, but slavic. How does this prove that she is turk or whatever? She is a south slav. maybe the last name is moslem but that just means her distant relatives converted for benefits during the ottoman empire

Actually, her father was an American Sheriff from the U.S.A., but Serbian worldwide propaganda manages to conceal this. Surnames don't necessarily mean much, and in this case very little. Both her parents (Rajko and Verica) have Serbian Christian names and there are many Serbian surnames derived from Turkish words, or even Turkish/Muslim names, although those who wear them are neither Turks, nor Muslims. First among those is Radovan Karadžić, Serbian president, nationalist and wanted (alleged) war-criminal, whose surname, common among Serbs, is derived of two turkish words: KARA - black, dark, and (H)ADŽIJA - the one who has visited Mecca, (or Jerusalem, if he were Christian). "Karadžija" is simply a nickname meaning "black adžija", and Karadžić a surname of his descendants. Among other frequent surnames derived from Turkish words are: Hadžić (from -hadžija), Amidžić (from -amidža, uncle), Imširagić (from name Imshir-aga), Memedović (from name Mehmed, Memed) etc. 212.200.56.13 02:13, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Percisely. This, however, does not mean that one is turkish.. Why was it mentioned by the person above?
