Islam in Hungary

Islam in Hungary dates back to the foundation of the state in the late 9th century, with Muslims constituting a portion of the conquering Hungarian tribes. Between the 10th and 13th centuries, it attracted additional Muslim settlers of diverse ethnic origins. The influence of Sunni Islam was especially pronounced in the 16th and 17th centuries during the Ottoman period in Hungary. Moreover, the state has long absorbed movements of ethnic Bosnian, Albanian and Turkish Muslims.
