At one times
Louroujina was considered the head-quarters of the curious sect of the
"Linobambaki" or "Flax and cottons", who whilst
outwardly professing Mohammedanism(*), were in reality Christians. They
however disliked the opprobrious title given them by both Turks and
Greeks and preferred to be known as "Lourouziatai".
(*)
From Moslems' point of view, it is misleading, inappropriate and
incorrect to refer to Moslems as Mohammedans and Islam as Mohammedanism.
