Summary/Abstract: After the World War I, Bosniaks were trying to regain reunion of Sanjak or at least its autonomy through political reorganizing. MNO, later renamed to JMO was a swivel, centre of political turmoils and a Bosniaks' symbol of fighting for human rights. One of the most important personalities in that period was certainly dr Mehmed Spaho, scholar and connoisseur of Islamic law. His greatest achievement was considered to be a 'turkish paragraph' in which the only country that has remained complete is Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the meanwhile, Bosniaks in Sanjak are experiencing marginalization due to a huge deceit by Radicals. It caused forming a political party along with Albanians. It was named Dzemijjetul-Islami (Islamic society) and later on, under the accusation of acting against the State, was extinguished.
