Islam in Moldova

The vast majority of the Moldovan people are Orthodox Christians, but there is a small community of Muslims in Moldova, numbering a few thousand.

But the Islamic League of Moldova head Sergiu Sochirca said the number was closer to 17,000, though not all of them were registered as Muslims due to suppression of Islam in the past.
