Religion

Note : The population of Palestine, during the mandate period, consisted by majority of indigenous Sunni Muslims, minority Christians, Druzes and Jews, as well as immigrant Jews, Sunni Muslims (Bosnians, Circassians) and Templars. There are numerous sources on these religious communities and their history online; however they, if pertaining to the respective community in Palestine / Israel, in most cases do not distinguish between indigenous and immigrant and do not refer to a point in time prior to the partition in Palestine in 1948.
