Bosnians are certainly Europeans.  They are actually Slavic people, but 
the Serbs don't think they are Slavic "enough" because they have some 
Turkish blood in them.  Also, many "Bosnians" are actually Roma Gypsies, 
and are not muslim at all.  They just came to the US as refugees claiming 
to be Bosnians in order to imigrate to the US.  Caucasians are not all 
pasty-white in complexion.  Armenians, Georgians, Chechens and other 
Caucasians have varying degrees of dark-to-tanned skin, brown-to-black 
hair, and brown-to-black eyes.  Occasionally some will have green or even 
blue eyes.

I have seen some light-skinned Pashtu.  Of course, Indian Aryans are very 
dark-skinned people.

It has more to do with microevolution in subtropical and tropical regions 
than anything else.  Have you ever seen the difference between an Ojibwe 
from Minnesota and a Tohono Odam from Southern Arizona?

I've seen some here.  One was wearing a full black burka and black gloves.  
Only her blue eyes peeked out through tiny slits.

It is the fastest-paced, to be sure.  I personally know at least one 
female Christian who converted to Islam (so she could marry an Egyptian 
twenty years her senior).
