Unlikely. The muslim population of Bulgaria is 12%.

12.2% of the population of Bulgaria is Muslim.

 

He has not signed yet.

 

thank you.

I don''t think so, though Iliev sounds a bit like an Eastern European version of Ilyas............

[Joanna Grey 0]

Nearly 10% of the country are of Turkish descent so that would take a huge chunk out of the 12% who are Muslim. Valentin Iliev does not sound very Turkish to me.

You are spot on , the religious affiliations are Orthodox 84%  Muslim12% others 4% the Muslims are easy to Identify  , because (now I have to be careful here ) they are mostly from the Romany element who have a darker complexion than the other Bulgarians .arrdee.

Does it matter?  Does it really warrant a thread about it?

[Splendid Rush 8]

Does anyone actually care if he''s Muslim or not? I certainly don''t. What difference does it make?

Who Cares.....

Of course he is not muslim!

There is muslims because we are under Turks for long period until 1878 also we have border with Turkey but they leave on specifick regions mostly + not played more than 10-15 Muslims in all Bulgarian Premiere league.

Levski have one gipsy and one coach Turk CSKA not have any :)

Iliev is born in Vratsa North Bulgaria if some one remember England Under 21 played in this town 7-9 years ago qulification with Bulgaria I was on this game remember that Heiden Mullins played for England on that night who was at Palace these days.

Also he played some years in Zaporojie Ukraine.

Iliev father is ex cska and national team legend goalkeeper Ilia Valov.

Hope this delay on transfer not to come some one in last moment (last year Wigan at 11th hour take David Cotterill from us)and we to need other target:/

Also must Roeder know that Iliev have 1 training session and it is only running for last 1 month so normally the condition just know not to be best.

No Mate

England is actually a country not a county.

And it is not secular Christian... it is multi faith... therefore discrimination through religion is rightly against the law. Judging by your comments you obviously dont understand very much about these diversity issues. Shame because it makes this country a better place.

He can be Rastafarian, Hindu or Mormon for all I care as long as he can kick a ball.

Players religions or faiths are not OUR business.

This whole post is a very poor reflection on us as supporters.

Can we keep these religeous threads off the main threads please mods?  They are really not relevant to football [:|]

Look out, I feel a heated discussion coming on...

Indeed the UK is secular, one of the most secular in the world and all the better for it if you ask me. Only 38% believe in a God.

And yes I don''t care what religion anyone is.

Oh, so the spelling police picks me up on the omission of the letter ''r'' from one of my words, well done you!. But be alert, because I do it all the time matey. 

And as for making this country a better place, recent crime figures do not agree with that statement.

Next.

The fact that he declared himself fit to play and it was the coaching staff who decided against playing hime seemed to matter little.So I''d say its relevant to quite a lot of ''fans'' judging by the fuss they made.
