Bulgaria and the caliphate

Chris Deliso, in his book The Coming Balkan Caliphate, included a chapter on growing Islamist trends in Bulgaria, a country that just joined NATO and the EU. Well, thanks to Jihad Watch, here are several examples of one time-honored technique for pushing such change: targeting the schools.

In one village, the school principal is forcing his staff and female students to wear traditional Muslim garb. Parents who refuse to go along are cursed in the Friday sermons. In another, the principal of the high school regularly attends classes in an illegal local fundamentalist school.

Like Bosnia, Bulgaria has for centuries had a local Muslim population that co-existed more or less well with its neighbors. Now the Saudi influence is changing all that - and at the same time wiping out the constitutional rights and freedomes of Bulgarian citizens. (If you want, you can read my review of Deliso's book here.)
