Balkan and Appennine.

[Brás Garcia de Mascarenhas]

Personally the three most important are in the south, be it the Iberian Peninsula, Apennine Peninsula and the Balkan Peninsula. When I mention the importance of the Balkan Peninsula I am mostly referring to the Hellenic sphere, even though it includes all the other nations mentioned above.

I am voting on the Iberian Peninsula due to its importance on shaping the world has we know. Most ex-Iberian colonies will be major nations in the future, if some ain't already.

Apennine has & Balkans had. (I voted for former as I thought it has to do solely with present but in past Balkans had/has most activity, other were just a lame local infighting, if it weren't for Balkan resistance and Skanderbeg OP will praise Islam and shout Mashallah & Allahu Akbar at every sentence)

You might consider saying so to other Europeans but not to Iberians. The Iberian Reconquista was undoubtedly more impressive and we actually did reconquer the whole Peninsula unlike Skanderberg who failed to do so. Five centuries later, the ones who do say mashallah and allahu akbar in Europe are to be found among your people, not mine.

The complexity goes into your account however as I careless who prey on which God, both religions come from same place with almost similar dogma and teaching yet when I hear Iberberians you may think we are talking about two complete religions, one representing a divine and other completely evil religion, you know for an genuine atheist as you claim you are, this should sound stupid when you praise Christianity and loath Islam, the thing is Christians at one point were what Islamist are today (Crusades were like Jihad of our time, even more death in their account) and paradoxically enough what Arabs/Islam was at that exact point were for you like a progressive 'Christian' (not really religious one) is today, I see fault in both religions but I'm not complexed enough to gain an allergy or use for WN purpose like you do.

Now time for preying brother, may Allah guide you.

You seem to care a lot actually, since you were the first to mention and attribute an importance to Skanderberg that does not correspond to reality. You also assumed that hypothetically all of Europe would be under the banner of Islam if it wasn't for him, which is ridiculous and mere speculation.

The Iberians - with much lower odds than what they had on the Balkans - reconquered their whole Peninsula back. They also decimated the Ottoman navy on the Indian Ocean.

Both religions are completely different when it comes to the social impact they have had. Undeniably Christianity had and has its evil deeds but nations under its banner were able to progress. The same did not happen in any Islamic majority nation as far as I am concerned, especially after theologian philosophers such as Al-Ghazali came in to power and initiated the decline of scientific research in the Islamic world until the present day.

For the best or for the worse, European matrix is Judeo-Christian and you can't fully understand a huge portion of its history without it. The same can not be said about Islam.

It is just laughable when you hear someone from Kosovo attributing themselves an importance that they do not have. Kosovo is 95% plus majority Muslim. There are nations in the Middle-East that don't even have such an high percentage, yet the guy who was born from Muslim parents and probably has Muslim cousins, aunts, uncles and what not is telling me to be guided by Allah? It is about time you grow some self-consciousness.

Someone voted on the Jutland Peninsula, would be interesting to hear their opinion.

You are wrong. Scanderbeg didn't failed.
And after how many centuries of Arab rule happened Reconquista?
