The leader of this state named his kid after Muhammad's wife Aisha (peace be upon them). He called Bosniaks or "Croatian Muslims" the flowers of the Croatian nation.

Despite Pavelić's assurances of equality with the Croats, many Muslims quickly became dissatisfied with Croatian rule. A Muslim leader reported that not one Muslim occupied an influential post in the administration. Fierce fighting broke out between the Ustaše,  Chetniks and  Yugoslav Partisans in NDH territory. Some Ustaše militia units became convinced that the Muslims were  communist sympathizers, and burned their villages and murdered many civilians. [6]  The Chetniks accused the Muslims of taking part in the Ustaše violence against Serbs and perpetrated similar atrocities against the Muslim population. The Muslims received little protection from the  Croatian Home Guard, the regular army of the NDH, whom the Germans described as "of minimal combat value". [6]  Local militias were raised, but these were also of limited value and only one, the  Tuzla-based Home Guard  Hadžiefendić Legion, led by  Muhamed Hadžiefendić, was of any significance. [6]
