East-European Muslims

East European countries are ex-communist countries. In the past, they were part of the Islamic Caliphate, which collapsed in 1928. Muslim communities in these countries were imprisoned behind the wall of communism for years, until the winds of freedom arose in the late eighties, returning them once more to the light.

Below are the numbers of Muslims in these countries:

Russia = 21 million
Ukraine = 2 million
Romania = 120000
Bulgaria = 2.5 million
Albania = 3 million
Bosnia = 2.2 million
Kosova = 2 million
Macedonia = 0.5 million
Croatia = 0.4 million
Serbia = 0.8 million
Poland = 20,000
Hungary = 80,000
Belarus = 80,000
Moldova = 25,000
Baltic States = 35,000
Slovenia = 0.25 million

Of these numbers, only 50,000 are immigrants. The rest are indigenous!
