Islam in Bulgaria

Okay kiddo, let me explain Islam in Bulgaria to you in a way that you can understand.

In Bulgaria, there are people who practice a religion called Islam. Islam is a religion that began in the Middle East many years ago. It is a religion that believes in one God, just like Christianity and Judaism.

There are about 700,000 Muslims in Bulgaria, which is about 10% of the population. These Muslims live mostly in the southern parts of Bulgaria.

Muslims in Bulgaria have their own mosques, which are like churches for Christians. These mosques are places where Muslims can go to pray and learn about their religion. Muslim people in Bulgaria also celebrate their own holidays such as Ramadan, which is a month of fasting from sunrise to sunset.

Many Muslim people in Bulgaria also speak a language called Turkish, which is different from Bulgarian. However, they can also speak Bulgarian and many of them go to school and work alongside other Bulgarian people.

Overall, Islam is an important part of the culture and history of Bulgaria, and Muslim people have been living peacefully alongside their Bulgarian neighbors for many years.
