>>12461794thank you for calling me that. the difference is that when slavs came to the balkans, we were uncivillised people raiding various cities and decimating native balkan groups, the byzantines were incentivised to have us settle in the bereft land decimated by us but mostly by the avars. In return we settled and became christians willingly, some slavic tribes did not, like one subset tribe of the serbs called the narentines kept their pagan customs and settled pagania and were slavic pirates for a few centuries.
The ottomons came by force and created a second class for non muslims and bosniaks are the descendants of those who left their religion for better treatment by the ototmons.
