Prior to Islam arriving in the Balkans, Albanians were Christians - either Catholic or Eastern Orthodox. The continuous religious and political suppression which they had to endure from their Byzantine and Latin masters enabled them to be the first people of Europe, who welcomed openheartedly the futuhat of the Ottoman Pax Islamica in the 15th century Balkans. Today, Islam is the most practised religion in Albania with roughly 60% of the population adhering to it. The first Albanians began to convert to Islam between the 15th and 18th centuries during its rule by the Ottoman empire. During this era, many Albanians went on to greatly contribute both politically and culturally to the greater Muslim world. This legacy can be seen in the cultural landscape of Albania today, which has a number of historic mosques and Islamic places of learning, as well as a number of centres of other Islamic sects such as Sufism.
