Where I live and go to school, everbody but me is called Hassan, Mustafa, or something like that. I don't think it makes difference  |
I am just sayin` that things would look different. btw i have friends called samir ad halil and it really does not make any difference. but I must remind u that balkan peninsula was not europes rectum before turks came. balkan countries were well developed. after turkish invasion balkan was in dead end for ages. all of the results of renesance, and other cultural `reforms`and progres that folowed after the 15th century left very little traces there. that is why balkan is barell full with tnt even now. now, imagine central and western europe after few hundered years of turkish regime. I have nothing against anybody, do not get me wrong please. I am just saying that it is beter it happened the way it did, back then in 1683.
