Sažetak
ln the text the author attempts to sociologically reflect on rape in the
context of particular spiritualities - the Serbian, Croatian and Muslim.
The Orthodox creed transformed into "svetosavlje" (the concept of
Holy Sava) has become an inarticulate, rigid ideology distancing itself
from the definition of religion as love (towards God) and turning it all
into hatred. Crucified between the attempt to conquer original faith
and the notion that this has not been historically destined, the people
of the "Holy Sava" tradition have become trapped in their unquenchable
desire to spread in space by killing, conquering, destroying and
raping. The data gathered suggests an approximative conclusion that
they are not authentic Christian Orthodoxists but for the most part
represent a heterogeneous group. In Croatian spirituality the being of
evil as a separate existence is disputed. However, this has not prevented
the Croats from successfully coping with it and fighting it in all
its forms. This particular Croatian spirituality has not only accepted
the idea of conciliation, but it has become aware that it represents one
of the latter's fundamental supports. People of thought within the
Church did not hesitate to place collective guilt in the tradition of
principles that belong to paganism, for the judgment and condemnation
of crime must point a finger at the guilt of a very definite person.
Almost all of the Muslims' spiritual secret in Bosnia is to remain intact
in the Islamic tradition, but at the same time to absorb all the living European
values born or yet being born under the wing of the Christian
cultural circle. This, ultimately, results in cultural creation which is,
however it may seem contradictory, far away from the Islamic culture
of other peoples as much as it is remote with regard to Croatian, and
especially Serbian spirituality. Muslims are in this land, in a way, all
that the others are, but also something else. Muslims and Catholics
have indisputably throughout history depended on each other, and
not only - such as the case is in recent history - to fight a common
enemy, but also to make the most of all with which they can spiritually
enrlch one another.
