“Recently more intensively in the public discourse on Islam we witness the introduction of certain terms marking the name of this universal religion with adjectives of geographic and cultural character, like “Indonesian Islam”, “Turkish Islam”, “European Islam” or as in our case “Bosnian Islam”. This has been a consequence of the terminology transfer from Western religious studies, where the difference is made between “official” or “normative” religion, found in religious textual sources and their general interpretation on one side, and “folk religion” denoting interpretation and practice of a certain religion by its followers at a certain territory or within a certain group on the other. “
