Ah leave this Turkish crap out, being both a Bosniak and Albanian myself I can tell you that noone has ever guessed me as a Turk.
There are Turkish looking people in all of the Balkans ( excluding Slovenia and N. Croatia ) not just in Bosnia and Albania.

There also theories that state that Bosniaks converted to Islam just so they wouldn't have to intermix. It makes sense Serbs refuse to convert, the Turks rape them, Bosniaks in order no to assimilate they convert.

I read that the percentage of light eyes in Bosnia is like 35% while in Serbia it's 28%, coincidence ? I don't think so.

neither, they are closer to each other 1000 times more than they are to Türks by race, culture, mentality, ideology etc. but if we have must absolutely pick one it's Albos despite we Turks like them lesser. Bosniaks and Sanjakians have a more Euro psychology. poltically they are republicans, esp. Bosniaks-Yugos. Alevis are the most Chp (republican people party) supporter group in Turkey with %75, Bosniaks are second to them with circa %65. so seeing Islamist and Erdogan lover Bosniaks on TA and only them made me surprising when I was new in this forum

I don't get this thread. It's like a Sikeliot thread.

Bosnians are definitely more secular, that's what I can say from my experience, I didn't meet too much Albanians generally, but Albos which have jobs in larger cities in Serbia (bakeries, confectioneries) are ok.

+1 most Bosniaks I know are either Communists or Liberals Euro centrists. Sometimes I wonder why these people thought they were Muzzies and came here because they could have easily assimilate. I think it's Serbs and Croats who were religious Orthodoxes and Catholics and kicked Bosniaks and Sancaks out and not the other way.

Bosniaks practically worship Turks. They don't even have religious phrases in their own language. Have you ever heard what they say when the congratulate someone on Eid? Or when they say "Oh my God"? Albanians despite being overwhelmingly Muslim have retained most of their pre-Islamic culture while Bosniaks wouldn't even exist as an ethnic group if it weren't for Turks. That's also the reason why Turks prefer Bosniaks to Albanians, because Bosniaks are their lapdogs so to speak.

Older Bosniaks are like older Serbs and older Croats - Yugo-nostalgic.
Younger Bosniaks, from 25-45 or better call them war generation - they are mostly for EU integrations and definitely they are most liberal of all Bosniaks.
Teenagers are like in all ex-yu countries nationalist oriented (religious too).
