My other point is that it is almost a derogatory term to say "Eastern European" when referring to people who are in fact from central and south Europe (eg, calling Czechs in Central Europe or Bosnians in Southern Europe "Eastern European"). It is an exclusionary term used by Europeans from other parts of Europe (and Americans) to label Slavics as different or lesser.
Slavic Countries are all Eastern Europe, and yes, there are many heavily Muslim countries in Eastern Europe. You actually claimed that there were none! LOL. So Albania, Turkey, Kosovo, Bosnia, Bulgaria, etc. have all been moved to Western Europe, I guess?

I mean, is there ANYTHING that people won't argue on C-D? Who knew that Eastern Europe wasn't actually Eastern Europe? Who knew the former Soviet satellite states actually were in Western Europe?
