Moldova Registers Muslim Group
Radio Free Europe yesterday reported on reaction to the decision by Moldova's Justice Ministry last month to officially register the Islamic League as an NGO representing Moldova's Muslims.The head of the Orthodox Church, Metropolitan Vladimir, called the recognition "a humiliation" for the country's Christians. Opposition to the recognition has become an issue used by the county's conservative Communist Party to consolidate its base in advance of June's local elections.
