"Ethnic groups are identified very closely with distinct religions or religious/cultural traditions. According to a 1991 census, the three largest are: Bosniaks, who generally are Muslim or of Muslim background (46 percent); Serbs, who generally are Serbian Orthodox or of Orthodox background (31 percent); and Croats, who generally are Roman Catholic or of Roman Catholic background (14 percent). There also are small numbers of Romani and Jews. Protestants and other religious groups constitute a very small part of the population."
Please note that the number of war victims given in the link could rather be slightly above 95,000, of which 63,000 Bosnian Muslims, 24,000 Serbs, 8,000 Croats... This number refers to the dead people as well as missing, of which a certain small number is alive.
Kendi is completely wrong, even though she lives there (Not to be surprised, because the Bosnian Muslims are dipped into frustration for not having won the war and having lost so many people.) The Orthodox are the second religion in Bosnia. Freudian slip, lol.
Lady Morgana needed to mention the causes of the war in her pathetic display, of what she has no idea whatsoever. If it were a religious war, how come an entire Muslim region (Fikret Avdic) was with the Serbs against the cause of the war - Muslim Alija Izetbegovic, who was given green light from Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iran and USA to start the war and try to create an entirely Muslim country of which Christian Serbs did not want to be part of.
hhh would only have peace if there weren't any other religious groups in Bosnia other than muslim.

I have family from Bosnia who had to move here because of religious persecution from the Serbians. In Bosnia, they are Muslims. In Croatia, nearby, they are predominantly Catholic. Serbians have their roots in Orthodoxy. But Bosnia Herzegovina is (or was) mostly Muslims. That's one of the reasons for the war which drove my family to the US, where only 1 or the 8 of them spoke any English.
That was 12 years ago and my relatives are thriving. One of them died recently, and her funeral was a Muslim service, which I attended, and it was half in Bosnian and half in Arabic. It was interesting, but I didn't understand a word!
Thanks for asking!
