majority of bosnians are muslim, but a completely different sect of the religion.

they do not believe in 40 virgins and that bullshite.


And i would consider bosnians white, although some have the darker, olive skin, like Spaniards/Portuguese,etc.

I knew a white guy who converted. His fiancée's family were Turkish Muslims. She wasn't religious about it; born in Australia and very westernized. Didn't wear the head gear, etc. To appease her family he converted and went through the motions but never went to a mosque or anything afterwards. Muslim on paper only.

Serbia, Croatia, Albania, & Kosovo have a bunch of them. Hangovers from when the area was part of the Ottoman Empire.

What do you think all that "ethnic cleansing" business was about back in the 90s??

Yeah, all the ones I've interacted with also identify first as Bosnian, not Muslim. It actually rarely comes up in conversation.

And you can see by my location that I've had my fair share of interactions with the Bosnian community in St Louis.

Not to get locally political, but it would have been cool for the stadium bill to pass and the STL MLS team to sign Dzeko in a few years.

Semitic deals with linguistics. They're white (caucasian) people who speak a Semitic language.

If they are the Chosen People, how exactly does one convert to it? Seems illogical.


For Orthodox Jews, they concur.

I've met a couple who looked white but I didn't really grill them about their geneology.

The mother of King Abdullah was a former beauty queen from TX. Queen Noor, maybe?

If so, Albanians, Bosnians, and others aren't that unusual.


Ethnic Albanians aren't Slavs. The main issue with Slavs from the Balkans is whether or not they have Turkish blood left over from Ottoman rule.

You do realize there are only three races in this world? Caucasian, Negroid and Mongolian. They are most definitely Caucasian.
