"Serbs are Muslims, are they not?"

Excuse me? What planet have you been living on? Majority Serbs are Orthodox Christian. There is a Muslim minority in Serbs (for example the majority Albanians in the Serbian province Kosovo). The war in Bosnia during the 90's was also between Serbs (Orthodox as I said above), Croatians (Catholics) and "Bosniaks" (Muslims). Maybe you should read up on the Balkans before you comment.

Here is an interesting map of the former Yugoslavia with ethnic majorities in different colors as per 1991. Lots of things happened since...

Note, that the issues there are highly contested, lots of blood spilled, and I can't vouch for any info being 100% true.

 Anyway, for what it worth...
