- Aerbil313 3y agoYou’re nitpicking. Only half of the Bosnia (%51) and Albania (%56) is muslim, and Azerbaijan is the most secular muslim country in the world according to wikipedia[1], and muslims there are mostly Shiis who are very different than the global widespread and common sect of Islam, Sunnism. Shia’s prohibitions/restrictions are often very lax and they often worship less, Shiism resembles a collection of rituals more than true Islam. Sunnis consider them deviants. All three of those countries were under Soviet rule for some time, and SSCB was known to censor and ban religion and outright murder religious people in especially Muslim countries she occupied.
