Turkey banned the theological school of Halki so Christianity is persecuted. Also, the ecumenical patriarch has to be a Turkish citizen and Turkey pogromed them in 1955. They were 100.000 and today they’re only 2.000 and mostly old people.

After learning a lot about history I imagine it’s a really long story but why has Albania held on Islam when the surrounding nations didn’t?

Curious about those Muslims in northern Bulgaria near Romania. Why in that specific area?

It’s so surprising that a peaceful country like Bosnia and Herzegovina is split so evenly between 3 different religions. That type of thing usually leads to war and genocide….
Same goes for Serbia and that green blob in the south. Usually you’d expect countries to try and wipe a green blob off the map….

Religion in the Balkans maybe 100 years ago. From what I can tell from visiting there and researching the place, most people live in cities now, leaving a lot of the countryside more thinly and unevenly populated (if populated at all) than these solid colors show. A dot map of towns and villages would probably be more realistic now that society is predominantly urban. Besides, hardly anyone is religious anymore. I guess it would be more accurate to describe this as culture more than religion…?

It’ll never not fascinate me that Bosnians and Albanians predominantly converted to Islam whereas a lot of the other ethnic groups never did
