I knew it was too easy . Shows me what I get for trying to think up crap a couple hours after I should have been asleep.

[Draka]

Are you asking about a particular "group" of some kind, or just what their religion is?

[Draka]

Well, I guess either way I'll take a shot in the dark at it. What the hey...I'm half asleep anyway.

Sunni Muslim?

[Djamila]

No, they're not Sunni Muslim. I'll give you a hint as big as yours was.

1991 census for this city:

Orthodox Christian: 53%
Muslim: 43%
Roman Catholic: 2%
Jewish: 1%
Other: 1%

Other: 1%

2006 estimated populatio for this city:

Orthodox Christian: 79%
Muslim: 19%
Roman Catholic: 1%
Other: 1%

Okay...shot 2: Orthodox Christian

I thought they looked a bit like nuns to me, but I've not seen anyone really dressed like that before.

[Draka]

Either way, I'm just about ready to pass out on the keyboard. It's almost 1am here and I think I finally got the little one to sleep. He's usually out by 10 to 10:30. Will see you tomorrow.

[Djamila]

Hehehe, yes, they're Orthodox Christian. It's not a common style of dress in Bosnia and Herzegovina but I would say it is about as common as Muslim woman who wear full hijab; and, additionally, there is a Roman Catholic version that is rare but also present to a similar degree.
