I really doubt too that Turkey is unsafe for a Christian to visit or work as an expat (as most of the countries you mentioned) but if you happen to be a native that converts from Islam to Christianity in one of these countries you mentioned, that's a completely different story.

Wouldn't that apply if your reversed the situation? How do you think a Romanian orthodox villager would feel if his daughter converted to Islam and wore a Hijab?

"On February 18, 2018, an Islamic militant attacked a Russian Orthodox group in Kizlyar, Dagestan. Five female Christians were killed while another five were injured. ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement, but the statement provided no evidence to support the claim.

On May 20, 2018, Islamic militants attacked the Russian Orthodox Archangel Michael Church in Grozny, Chechnya, killing one believer. The church’s priest, Father Sergiy, said churchgoers heard shots outside and chants of “Allahu Akbar” meaning “Allah is greatest.”

I walk around Grozny and often meet Russians from other regions of Russia and foreigners from other countries, none of them ever faced any danger because of their ethnic origins, skin color and beliefs, there are even Russians who spend half of their life in Chechnya and had absolutely no problems.. you'll never expect cowardly acts or sneaky behavior behind your back from the locals. I think people should take a break from listening to the media.. I'm being serious

Possible there could be some persecution or harassment (I don't know Romania that well) but I doubt it would be on the same scale that we witness sometimes in Islamic majority nations were parents sometimes would be willing to kill their own daughter if she happened to convert from Islam to another religion.

I think those are extreme cases. Nonetheless, similar cases could be pointed for the reverse too. The point of this thread is moot and is fuelling to the never ending agenda.
