Religious Separation and Political Intolerance in Bosnia-HerzegovinaTexas A&M University Press, 2003 M02 5 - 384 pages Velikonja sees the former Ottoman borderland as a distinct cultural and religious entity where three major faiths—Islam, Catholicism, and Orthodoxy—managed to coexist in relative peace.
