#1 Ethnic Turks and Pomaks -- Slavs who converted to Islam under Ottoman rule -- are shocked and dismayed at accusations that they aim to create autonomous enclaves and that some of their villages are nests for radical Islam

Good for Bulgarians.

#2 This is not good. For geopolitical reasons, the last thing we need right now is an unstable Bulgaria. For moral reasons, Christians and Muslims were getting along in that country; that should be a model for others.

#3 Christians and Muslims were getting along in that country

The problem is that Islamists may be outbreeding moderate Muslims and Christians. You can throw your hands up and hope that the future majority Islamist population becomes moderate. Or you can prevent the rise of an Islamist population in the first place by encouraging them to convert (as opposed to the traditional, and pretty brutal, solution to such problems - the convert or die ultimatum). The issue for cradle-to-grave welfare states (which may or may not include Bulgaria) is that the freebies actually cause Islamist families with Koran for brains to have more children in order to qualify for more benefits.
