The definition of Bosnian Islam as a "European Islam" frequently conceals its diversity and its links with the rest of the Muslim world. The internal plurality of Bosnian Islam can be reduced to three definitions of Islam embodied by three major Islamic thinkers in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Fikret Karcic, a specialist of fikh (Islamic jurisprudence), considers Islam as an individual faith. Enes Karic, a specialist of tefsir (interpretation of the Coran), defines it as a common culture. Adnan Jahic, a philosopher and an activist of the Party of Democratic Action (SDA), tends to turn it into a discriminatory political ideology.
