Islam in Moldova

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

According to the US Department of State, there is a small community of Muslims in Moldova, probably numbering a few thousand.[1]

The denial of a Muslim community's registration application on 11 July 2005 came despite an appeal to Moldova's deputy prime minister from the Mission to Moldova of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe. The OSCE ambassador, William Hill, wrote to Andrei Stratan on 28 June, the same day that the Spiritual Organisation of Muslims in Moldova headed by Talgat Masaev lodged its application, OSCE mission spokesperson Claus Neukirch told Forum 18 News Service from the capital Chişinău on 26 July. He said the OSCE mission has received no reply. "The Mission has been monitoring several attempts by the Muslim communities to seek official recognition of the Islamic faith and registration of their communities since 2002, and all of them have failed," Neukirch told Forum 18. "Moldova should register the Muslim communities, in the same way as other religious communities are registered." [2]
