The Ottoman Empire held that SUNNI ISLAM as understood by the Caliph in Istanbul was the official religion. However, there were many religious minorities throughout the Ottoman Empire. Most important among these were the Orthodox Christians (Greeks, Jugoslavs, Georgians, and Ukrainians), Armenian Christians, Catholics (Hungarians and Jugoslavs), Coptic Christians (Egyptians and Nubians), and Jews (mixed throughout). There were also smaller religious minorities like the Sabeans, Shabaki, Mandaeans, Yezidis, Yarsanis, Baha'i, and others in specific areas of the empire.
