Eftihis,sorry I just had oppurtunity to log into the forum after my last reply. I didnt know that source you copied for sure. Then it means Crete was really somehow different . As far as I understand the high rate of conversion was because of existing religious problems and instabilities,similar to the ones in Bosnia,causing bigger portion of formerly Christian Bosnian population convert to Islam and create Boshnak people.
The dating on the bichaq must be 1924 in Arabic numbers but Gregorian calender according to me.
