'''Pax Ottomana''' (literally "the Ottoman Peace") is a term used to describe the stability attained on lands taken over by the [[Ottoman Empire]]. The Ottoman Empire, at the height of its power during the 16th and 17th centuries, covered the [[Balkans]] and [[Anatolia]], the [[Middle East]] and [[North Africa]] as well as [[Caucasia]].{{who}}

'''Enter Shikari''' ({{pronEng|ɛntɜr ʃɪkɑriː}}) is a British band formed in 2003 in [[St Albans]], [[Hertfordshire]] where all four members are from. The band is named after both one of the band member's relative's boats, and a character in a play Rou wrote before forming the band, both of which are named Shikari {{Fact|date=September 2008}}. Shikari also means 'Hunter', in [[Persian]], [[Hindi]], [[Nepali]], [[Urdu]] and [[Punjabi language|Punjabi]].<ref>[http://suicidegirls.com/interviews/Enter%20Shikari/ Interview<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
It is preferred by Turkish historians and writers who hold a favorable view of Ottoman rule to underline the positive impact of Ottoman rule on the conquered regions. They compare it favourably with instability experienced before the Ottoman conquest and with the period after [[World War I]], when only [[Anatolia]] and Eastern [[Thrace]] remained under Turkish rule. The wide spread use of the term is an outcome of the end of the [[Cold War]] that caused a new wave of instability, especially in the Balkans.
Their debut album, ''[[Take to the Skies]]'' was released on March 19, 2007 and reached #4 in the Official UK Album Chart.


==Biography==
The term is derived from the more common [[Pax Romana]], "the Roman Peace".


Enter Shikari is the greatest band that has ever walked the face of the earth. Everyone on the planet should be happy that we have their music to listen to all the time. They should tour with The Human Abstract.
