    Lightbulb Ask Bosniaks anything



    Since Bosnia and Bosniaks must be one of the most misunderstood places/ethnicities on the planet, I hereby open this thread where you can ask any questions that you might have about us, and one of the Apricity Bosniaks will answer
    Hi everyone!

    What do modern Bosniaks think of Bogomilism, it having been the former state religion of the Kingdom of Bosnia?

    Vast majority don't care about it. I doubt you'd be able to find many Bosniaks who would know about Bogomilist beliefs who aren't interested in history.

    1. Islam in your country. Give me a brief history.

    2. Your ethnogenesis? When Bosniak identity/ethnicity born? Your relation to Slavs and Illyrians?

    Thanks.

    Ottomans came and brought Islam. Converting to Islam gave you more privileges. Bogomilism wasn't very strong in Bosnia so many ended up trading Bogomilism for Islam.

    No one knows this one. Some will say it happened during the time of the Bosnian Kingdom. Some will say it happened during the 15th-16th centuries under Ottoman rule. And some will say it happened during the rule of the Austro-Hungarians.

    Bosniaks speak a Slavic language and are descended from Slavs. Illyrians were the former inhabitants of what is now Bosnia and Herzegovina. When the Slavs came they assimilated the Illyrians but didn't take their language or culture.

    What kind of music, movies, books and TV shows are popular in Bosnia? Is it fairly Westernized entertainment, or more traditionally Muslim?

    First of all I would like to emphasize that this is a thread where Bosniaks will answer questions. Mathematician is not a Bosniak, he is a Yugoslav Muslim (with capital m) atheist so disregard him. I would also ask other Bosniaks to answer the questions, even if they are already answered, so the ones asking can get more perspectives

    Most are very interested in it and consider it even today the only right christianity. They like the Jesus is not a God part of it as well as the personal responsibility rather than redemption trough Jesus's sacrifice when it comes to salvation. If Bogomilism was reinstituted as it was I think it would find converts

    Tbh I didnt even know that was even happening

    Thanks.
    Appeared with the Ottomans. Spread at first among the members of Bosnian church who resented the king for their persecution, and later on among Bosniak catholics as well. Took a relatively long time to standardise it though, since a lot of Islamic beliefs were mixed with Bogomilist practices. Which to a degree still exist, since Bosniaks perform pilgrimages to Bogomil sites even today, although the pilgrimages are repackaged into an Islamic paint. We also had Hamzevi Islam get founded in Bosnia, although it was destroyed by the Serb filth of Sokolovic viziers.

    Ethnogenesis I am unsure. What is sure that since the documents started apearing the people already called themselves Bosnjan, which is pre-modernized for Bosniak

    Honestly, we see you as dirty, lazy, and unworthy of any symphaties regardless of religion. No one cares what religion is followed by Gypsies, it doesnt change the perception. And no, a Bosniak wouldnt marry a gypsy unless she had no other alternatives, since that means her family will renounce her and forbidd any contact or inheritance to go to her.
