The term Muslim Europe is used for the predominantly Muslim countries of Europe, including Muslim-majority Turkey, Kosovo and Albania, and a plurality in Bosnia and Herzegovina; it is also used for the Muslim community in Europe (see Islam in Europe). Islam has had a historical stronghold in the Balkans since the Ottoman wars in Europe.
