I wanted to say something about that but it's not that black and white.

For example there were/are a lot of Muslims in the Balkans after the Ottoman empire - but they are integrated within the society - some of them drink/eat pork, none of them expect gays/adulterers to be stoned etc. Just like modern Christians reject the extreme parts of their religion (eg. they mostly ignore the stuff in old testament).

I don't think "islamophobia", in the sense that you'll be ostracized for being a muslim, is more common than the rest of EU.

Yeah but those are our Muslims. And Balkans are pretty agnostic no matter the religious denomination. It is different.

One of the few good things from Communism I guess - although the methods used were disgusting
