Thanks Booko! 
Where are you from?
I must say, I'm not exactly the most religious Orthodox Christian... But I guess coming from a nation in which going to Church includes calling on Political unrest it's hard to be! lol.. Going to church for the Serb Diaspora includes getting drunk in the Church basement, and listening to the history of Kosovo and Metohija for a good two hours... Hahahahaha
But all semi-jokes aside, I'm interested in learning more about my religion..

James is a good person to learn from. He keeps his religion apart from his politics.
You know he told me that it's not proper for a Orthodox man to wear a big, huge gold cross outside of his clothing - that it should be a small one, inside the clothing.
So you know he's a good, Christian man.
Not like your lot. lolBut don't feel bad. The past 20 sermons I've heard at mosque have been about Fata Orlovic and the evil Serbs in Bratunac.

Djamila said:Sarajevo, Zenica, Travnik, Sanski Most, Tesanj, Bihac, and Gracanica are Muslim - overwhelmingly. Tuzla is very mixed, though, you know. Since the war it's much more mixed than Sarajevo. You could probably call it Bosnia's only surviving, multi-ethnic city. Lukavac is mainly Muslim but lots of Catholics there.
And there's no VF in Velika Kladusa, so it obviously didn't start there. lol
Oh, I know. I have a half breed friend (Serb/Muslim) from Lukavac, but insists on saying he is from Tuzla! Since then he gets to glorify over the fact that Tuzla is the only municipality that did not vote for a nationalist party during the war, high mixed marriages, Churches and Mosques standing side by side etc..etc..

You know what I wish? All Orthodox Priests and Imams were forbidden to give sermons of their own. They just had to broadcast what is said by Mullah Mustafa and Papa Nikola, the Priest who stayed in Sarajevo during the siege. Their sermons is always peace and love and all of that.
If we could just shut up S**thead Muslimovic and Butthead Krstic in every mosque and church, we'd be all fine.

Mila, I have a question for you...
In which cases were mixed marriages more common? With Serbs or with Bosniaks? I have noticed you posted a lot of pictures with ethnically mixed Catholic and Muslim towns... which would give the impression there is more mixed marriages between the Muslims and whoever... But when I look around my own community, all the half breads are half Serbs, and then half Muslim, Croat etc... So who was more open when it came to mixed marriages, Serbs, or Bosniaks?

Generally speaking, the smallest minority was the most open. In Mostar, for example, Serbs were more likely to marry a Muslim or Catholic. In Sarajevo, Jews and Catholics were more likely to marry outside of their own group. That I remember from a TV show or something.
But judging from people I know, and what you hear, and the half breeds you hear of... it seems to me the Muslim woman with the Christian man was the most common kind of mixing, yes?

Well most people here are Croatian, so it is more common to hear of an Orthodox man and Catholic woman, but from the Bosnians I know, its a mix... For example I know this one Orthodox woman from Sarajevo, who married a Muslim before the war, had a child.. When the war started something happened between the couple, and she ended up abroad... Now she is dating again, and to none other but a Muslim from ZENICA... lol... and there is big mahala style gossip going on... Hahahhaha

Don't worry, all the horrible Bosnian traits - vulgarity, stubbornness, loudness, etc, etc, etc... - are more or less reserved for women. LOL
It's the same among Serbs, yes, Yugo? Angel men and hellfire girls?

Thanks for the welcome guys,
and yes Mila, by far!
I have had my share of volgure, and laud Bosnian women! Trust me Mila, they are just as bad as their Muslim sisters!
I know one neighbor of mine, who I swear if you didn't know her name, or the Serbian Saint icon that stands beside a portrait of the "old bridge" she has in her living room.. you would say she was a Bosniak... She spent the better half of her life in Sarajevo, has huge a huge Sarajevan accent, following obvious Bosnian words we all use such as bolan, bona, ba, and the ever so annoying - coming after every sentence - mashallah... I am pretty sure Bosnian Serbs are the only Christians in the world that use that word..

Goodness, how did i miss this thread? A heartfelt welcome from me, Yugo. It's so good to see someone else from our (obviously, One True) faith here! Once upon a time there were three or four of us here but for quite some time I've been the only Orthodox Christian here. If the RCs ever gang up on you, call me and I'll lend a hand.
Great to se you around
