The return of the Ottoman yoke

The return of the Ottoman yoke

Ignored (of course) by the media, the forcible Islamisation of an EU country and NATO member appears to be proceeding apace. In Bulgaria, the Sofia News Agency reports:

In Ribnovo, the school principal, Feim Issa, had imposed full dictatorship on the teaching staff, forcing them to wear traditional Muslim clothes, and encouraging female student to the same. Issa has been illegally appointed as principal with help of the local mosque's leaders and is actively supporting the religion teacher at the school, Murat Boshnak. Boshnak is, reportedly, an individual with suspicious past and unclear educational background. He is not holding even a Bulgarian high school diploma, but has graduated from a religious school in Skopje, Macedonia. Ribnovo residents allege that Boshnak has specialized in Saudi Arabia and is forcefully making parents to sign requests for their children to study the Islam. He is also demanding that children address him as ‘aga’ instead of ‘gospodin’ (Mister), had prohibited girls from attending the last prom in civil attire and issued a ban on celebrations. Boshnak later organized a trip to Turkey with funds from an Arab foundation. Only one girl had attended the prom. Parents, who refuse to follow the fundamentalist rules, are being cursed during services in the local mosque. Yanev had established similar examples in the village of Satovcha, where the school principal regularly attended classes in radical Islamism in an illegal local fundamentalist school. The principal was currently on maternity leave and, in order to keep the school under control, had appointed her own husband to replace her.

Bulgaria was part of the Ottoman Empire for 500 years before gaining its independence in the 19th century. After World War II it was a satellite of the Soviet Union until 1991, and is now a member country of the EU and NATO. Having made the painful transition to freedom from both the Ottoman yoke and Soviet enslavement it is now, as the Bulgarian MP Yane Yanev observes, becoming trapped by the Ottoman yoke once again. But this is not some far away country of which we know nothing. It is at the heart of the EU.

You know what is the most interesting in that case? The people of Ribnovo aren't turks genetically, but pomacks - muslim Bulgarians. They were christian till the Ottoman violence in the Rhodopa mountains and due to mass massacres some chainged their faith. Most of them never spoke or knew turkish language, never had marriages with turks. They were like closed society, so nowadays most of them are bit backwards. The Bulgarian goverment does not make anything for their education and integration, so our turkish party got the control in their hands. They only use islam as a weapon - if you are muslim you are a turk, so must behave like a turk. They pay them money for proper islamic education, wearing veils, learining turkish language and so on.
So, the only thing I blame most is our state, paying only attention to gypsies, ethnic turks and so on elements, but not Bulgarians living in problemous regions and conditions.

I highly doubt the writer meant that Bulgaria is the heart of EU. Well,it is a European country to fair ,but I think he meant that Ottoman/Muslim customs and traditions are getting stronger inside Europe. They never miss a chance to impose their primitive culture which obviously lacks signs of development and progress.
