The NDH is an Islamic state wherever our people belong to the Islamic faith. I emphasize this because it is necessary to know that we are a state of two creeds, Catholic and Muslim. We know how big is the role
our church has played in our history and therefore we cling to it. We would have held to it even only for political reasons, for it has been the only bulwark that Belgrade could never surmount... We Croats must be happy and proud that we have our faith and at the same time we must be aware that our brother Muslims are also the purest Croats, as our revered leader
Ante Pavelic has already declared.
