The National Council of Religious Communities in Bulgaria, which includes representatives of all major faiths, has come out in support of the Muslim community by expressing indignation at a reported statement by a prosecutor that if the proportion of Muslims in the country reaches 30 per cent, this would be the end of the state.
“The National Council of Religious Communities in Bulgaria (NSROB) expresses its indignation at the statement by prosecutor Nedyalka Popova, expressing its disagreement and condemning this type of speech about a religious community as unacceptable and scandalous,” the council said.
Popova reportedly made the statement while being interviewed in connection with the trial of a number of Bulgarian Muslims charged with seeking to overthrow the state and replace it with a radical Islamic theocracy.
