ISLAMSKA ZAJEDNICA I NACIONALNO OPREDELJENJE MUSLIMANA U SOCIJALISTIČKOJ JUGOSLAVIJI
THE ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY AND THE NATIONAL ORIENTATION OF MUSLIMS IN SOCIALIST YUGOSLAVIA

Summary/Abstract: The attitude of the Islamic Community toward the national orientation of Muslims should be viewed in the context of the overall position and relationships with the new state whose ideology was founded on an irreconcilable attitude toward religion and the activities of religious communities. The Islamic Religious Community took advantage of the situation in which, under complex international circumstances, the state was unprepared to maintain constant tension with most of its religious communities, and thus succeeded in a very short period to normalize its relations with the new rulers of the country, losing in the process some attributes of freedom but attaining greater freedom of organization and the improvement of religious life.
