    Default Bulgarian Orthodox Diocese offended by the Chief Mufti

    Former priest Vidin Metropolitan bulgarian Orthodox Church (bOC), who converted to Islam, became a cause of contention between the head and the Chief Metropolitan muftiat bulgaria.

    As the portal "Pravoslavie.by" citing Vesti.bg , from published online bOC letter on behalf of Archdiocese, headed by Metropolitan Dometianom Vidin, it became known that the Metropolitan refused to participate in the celebrations held on December 5, on the Muslim holiday - the Day Ashura.

    The reason for refusal was the publication on the website of bulgaria Chief Mufti article regarding the conversion to Islam of the former Orthodox priest Vidin Metropolitan Atanas Mihailov, who took his name Abdullah. Previously, he graduated from the Sofia Orthodox seminary and studied for two years at the Theological Faculty of Sofia University. Article on behalf of Mufti ends with the phrase: "We pray to the Almighty, but guide us to the right path and will not let us be deceived".

    In Vidin Metropolitan considered these words offensive to the Christian faith, because they suggest that every Christian is in deep misconceptions about their faith and worship.

    Meanwhile, in the Main Muftiate apologized and changed the title. Headline "Priest embraced Islam" has become something like this: "Former priest converted to Islam." In Muftiate also stated that they had no intention to offend anyone, let alone oppose the Christian or any other community.

    The current locum tenens of the patriarchal throne bOC Varna Metropolitan Kirill commented on the transition of the former priest Athanase Mikhailov in Islam: "Everyone is free to choose any religion, what he wants, and each person is responsible for their actions before God, whether Christian or Muslim."

    Metropolitan Kirill called the "normal" solution Atanas Mihailov accept Islam, but believes that the message on the site Chief Mufti, is unacceptable for Orthodox website quoted him as saying "The doors of Orthodoxy" .

    I've just seen it. It seems quite interesting.

Hun was not an ethnicity itself, but a large tribal confederative structure.. That is why Turks already had a rich genetic pool before the full conquest of Anatolia region..

    Link doesn't work. But conversions to and fro religions happen all the time, given there are 2.5 billion Christians and 1.5 billion Muslims...in fact, there'd be many more conversions from Islam, to be sure, if it were not a crime punishable by death in many Islamic countries. Even a famous imam once said, "Without the death penalty for apostasy, Islam would not exist today." He got that right! He was, however, actually defending the death penalty for this reason.
