Being Muslim the Bosniak Way

http://www.seprin.com/laden/barbaros.html

Bosnia is not a Muslim nation. Look; this is a 2005 census.

Cia said back in 2000, Bosniaks are 48% of population.But im willing to put money behind my words, but only if we play 10''1

I put 100$ and if you are that so convinced, and wanna play,you put 1000$

And if you win, you have my money, but if i win?

Well, again im pretty much sure, Bosniaks are adlist 52% ,perhaps even 55% in Bosnia now.

Id just like to say to Mila that it was an informative and wonderful thread you have posted. In high school, I had a Bosnian friend from Mostar, she was one of the nicest people I've known duriing my time in high school.

One thing I'd like to know is how in the world do u people have the nicest looking girls!!! Its not fair!!!

God knows best...

Of the Bosnians I've met so far, they've all been nice, tolerant and humble...and bubbly.

Not more.   I must also say something about bosniak population in Turkey. Believe me that more than 5 million Bosniak origined ppl live here. Most of them in Izmir are from Montenegro!!!(notless then 300,000).   Very few of them cannot even speak Turkish. Most of the rest speaks both Bosnacki and Turkish. Most of the young population just speak Turkish, knows a few words Bosnacki.   Some of them, like other ethnic groups in Turkey, still lives their culture from Bosnia. Meals, weddings, language a little etc.   I saw Hedo's name in previous pages. Hidayet Turkoglu speaks Bosnacki better then Turkish. ;)   A note for Mila : Being muslim the Bosniak way is very similar to being Muslim the Turkish way. Being Muslim gives you the chance to live it in your own way.   All the best

Lol, in my country Malaysia, there are secret crypto-Pork eaters in the kampung (village) areas where Malays indulge in sacrilecious pork meat.

Excellent post with excellent pictures.

There is no "bosnian" way of Islam. When one enters into Islam (pure submission to the will of God) it means they leave behind their pre-Islamic tendancies and align their wishes with the commands of their Lord. As is stated by Muhammad (pbuh) in his famous hadith:

"None of you truly believe until their desires are in total accordance with what I have brought (ie. the Islamic message)."

Showing pictures of women in bikinis and men dancing half naked with women really isn't a portrayal of Islam (on the Bosnian way or any other way) it is in fact a portrayal of their lack of Islam.

Nestorian,

Your assumptions are false. The language of Islamic Culture is Arabic, yes, but to suggest Islamic Culture is just Arabic Culture is wrong. The first Muslims had to reject and leave behind their Arabic Culture in order to adopt Islamic Culture. As they were mostly Arabs, Islamic Culture therefore came to be synonymous with Arabic Culture (ie. Their new Islamic Culture is what came to be regarded as Arabic Culture).

If you are speaking about practises such as pilgrimage to the Kaa'abah, we believe this to be a practise from the time of Ibrahim (Abraham pbuh), and I wouldn't call it an intrinsically Arabic practise, pilgrimage is a religious act which is not peculiar to any one culture.

As for circumcision, again, not necessarily Arabic, perhaps Semitic? Either way, we still consider it an act of religious devotion and not an act of "Arabism", again this is a practise we take from the Prophet Ibrahim (pbuh).

Arabic Culture was based around idol worship and strict tribal system, which is completely alien to Islamic Culture.
