When people live in a place, they often follow some rules and beliefs that are special to their place. This is called culture. One such place is Crete, which is a beautiful island in Greece. Most people who live in Crete follow the beliefs of the Greek Orthodox Church. They pray to Jesus Christ and believe in Christianity.
However, there are some people who live in Crete who don't follow these beliefs. Instead, they follow the beliefs of Islam, which is another religion. These people are called Cretan Muslims.
Islam is a religion that was started by a man called Prophet Muhammad in the 7th century. It has its own holy book called the Quran and its followers are called Muslims. Cretan Muslims have a mix of Greek and Turkish culture, which are both important cultures in this part of the world. They have their own special customs and traditions that are different from the Greek Orthodox people in Crete.
Cretan Muslims are a small group of people who live in Crete. They have their own mosques and special places where they pray. They also celebrate special events like Eid al-Fitr, which is a festival that marks the end of the Islamic holy month called Ramadan. During this festival, they eat special food, wear new clothes, and give presents to their friends and family.
Despite being a minority in Crete, Cretan Muslims have their own unique identity and are proud of their beliefs and culture.
