The point icj1 is as follows:
Yes, everyone had to more or less fall in line, but some of us were a little more accommodating than others to the Ottomans.

I don't think any of us was accommodating to the Ottomans (whether less or more) unless any of us is more than 100 years old.
----------
1. Some of us changed our religion and culture in order to gain economic favor and cheaper taxes -- and some of us did not.

I'm not sure any of us has been lucky to live in a country that charges different tax rates depending on religion. But if I were lucky enough to live in such a country, I'd certainly follow the religion for which the tax rate is the lowest. I'm not an idiot to pay my hard earned money for having the "privilege" of praying in a different way to something that does not exist.
----------
2. Some of us never fought back and just accepted it --- and some of us staged rebellion after rebellion across the centuries and didn't accept it.
(factman, 7 June 2016 21:30)
I don't think any of us has a chance to accept or rebel to the Ottomans, unless any of us is more than 100 years old.
----------
Serbs were of the second category. They went along with one hand, and staged rebellion with the other.

Of course, Serbs, like the rest of the Balkans people were in the second category. I did not say anything to the contrary.
