Muslims and Catholics unified by image of Bruce Lee.
Two years after the Urban Movement came up with the initial proposal, the Bosnian town of Mostar, has collected enough financial and popular support to erect a monument to Bruce Lee in their town center.
Interestingly, he was chosen at least partly because he is distinctly different the local population. From MSNBC.com:
"If he were from some place that is closer," says artist and writer Veselin Gatalo, "we would be asking, what was he doing during the war? What was his faith? What kind of meat did he eat?" Elsewhere in Bosnia, the monuments are "just a continuation of war by other means,” says Gatalo. But Bruce Lee will be something else. "He reminds us that skill can fight firearms, that good intentions and bravery can defeat power, corruption, violence and injustice."
