History of Muslims and Islam in Bosnia Dr. Cosovic
History of Muslims and Islam in Bosnia
Professor Dr. Cosovic sheds light on the centuries-old Muslim presence in Bosnia, dating back to the 7th century when Christians from Bulgaria migrated to escape persecution. These Christians, known as Bogomils, shared beliefs with Islam and eventually embraced the religion after the Ottoman Empire’s tolerant introduction in the 15th century. The Ottoman rule allowed for religious freedom, leading many Bosnians to voluntarily convert to Islam.
“They were very tolerant of these people and they allowed them to practice their way their religion… They did not force them to become Muslims, so when these Bogomils saw how tolerant Turks were with them, they voluntarily embraced Islam.”
Key Takeaways:
- Islam’s history in Bosnia traces back to early Christian migrants who found similarities with Islamic beliefs.
- The Ottoman Empire’s tolerant rule in the 15th century led to widespread voluntary conversions to Islam in Bosnia.
- Despite historical tensions, many Bosnians embraced Islam, maintaining a diverse religious landscape in the region.
