| Summary: | The article focuses on the identity of Slovenian Muslims. The Population Census in Slovenia shows that the majority of Slovenian Muslims by ethnicity are defined as Bosniaks, Muslims or Bosnians. All three national classifications apply to migrants from Bosnia and Herzegovina (B-H). In recent times, religion, beside nationalism and culture, has had a signi ficant influence on the formation of the identity of Muslims in both B-H and in Slovenia. The primary characteristic of the population of B-H is its heterogeneity. Thus, religious identity has always been evenly tied to its national and political identity. However, we must not ignore the fact that Bosnian Islam has always been different from Islam on other continents, which is especially evident in the ceremonials and everyday manners. The influence of religion is derived from the reality of religious practices that individuals have adapted to their cultural identity. In this discussion, we will attempt to identify the connections that relate to Slovene Islam in Muslim religious practice. |
