Have you ever come across an old building and wondered, as they say, "what if these walls could talk"? If you have, perhaps you will find this third thread in the "One Mosque's Story" series especially interesting.
The Old Soko Mosque is just such a building, one that causes your imagination...
The second in my series "A Mosque's Story", this one dedicated to a mosque so beautiful that I honestly cried the first time I stepped inside.
The Beglučka (Begluchka) Mosque is centrally located in the town of Livno. It's built on the Topovi hillside which stretches from one of the...
I've had my share of controversial discussions in our Islamic subforum, and I'm sure there will be more in the future. I do, however, want to contribute something here that every Muslim from any corner of the world can view as a positive contribution.

There's one thing about my people that has always seemed very strange to me, even moreso than everything else - hahaha.
In the same way many Protestant and African American Churches go absolutely crazy for music, some among us are the same.
This clip, for example, is from a concert for the...

Live musical shows are one of the most popular holy day traditions in Bosnia and Herzegovina and, like everything else, they tend to be fairly mixed. You'll have Muslims singing their hits (as in the clip above) - or even singing along with Christian songs...
Well, it my case, it must be genetics. Every week there are at least three or four stories in the press that are this... weird. The characters and subjects are completely different, but they all carry the same amount of... "Oh my God. I can't raise my children in Bosnia. I want them to be...
I put this in the jokes forum because, well... it'll eventually belong here. :D
So, I love dancing! I'm actually pretty good, I think. ;) But there's some songs I like more than others, and some I can't really dance to at all. lol I'm sure most of us are the same way, yes?
So share a song you...
Hutovo Blato Park, Bosnia
Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina - A team of Bosnian archaeologists have discovered the remnants of Illyrian ships in Europe's largest preserved wetland, the Hutovo Blato Park.

Cats have always been a visible part of Bosnia and Herzegovina's culture. They're not sacred or anything of this nature, but they're everywhere. Wild cats live on the streets of most every city, town and village and they often community pets of sorts - with several old women on each block that...
This magazine follows Bosnian (and Bosnia's favorite) singers wherever they go. I think there's one young, androgenous blonde who needs to change his name if he ever wants to get famous in the West...
Bubi with "All my love"... hehehe...
The Islamic Community of Bosnia and Herzegovina recently held a fundraiser to support the Gazi Husrev-bey Foundation, a local Islamic charity.
Several of Bosnia and Herzegovina's most high-profile Islamic folk singers attended - most notably Hanka Paldum and Zehra Bajraktarevic. The fundraiser...

The "judges" among them a factory worker, a businessman, and a job-hunting college student were seated under a canopy of television lights. At exactly 8:50 p.m., a throbbing soundtrack filled the studio.
Everyone sat up...
I don't know what the equivalent of INFObar would be in Western Europe and North America. It's a service that promotes virtually any event taking place at a nightclub in Sarajevo - from special concerts and theme nights, to the opening parties of new beauty salons and fashion tips.
One of the...
West Jet is an Airline with head office situated in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. West Jet airline attendants make an effort to make the in-flight "safety lecture" and announcements a bit more entertaining. Here are some real examples that have been heard or reported:

Well, I was so excited to watch Casino Royale. One of the actresses, Ivana Milicevic, is from Sarajevo - and part of the movie is set in Montenegro.
But, my God... do they really think they're fooling anyone?
The scenes in Montenegro are filmed somewhere in Central or Western Europe - my guess...
Well, I have something to share and I'm hoping to have your support. I'd love it if you all would share what you're doing as well, so we can support each other.
Right now I am smoking what I am determined will be my last cigarette. And I'm also sipping what I am going to make sure is my last...
