> Note the “stats” for the country of Romania in post #3... “Muslims” don’t even *rate* their own “category” in that country... LOL...
(grin!) Well, I guess I stand corrected. Vlad the Impaler must have done a remarkably good job of cleaning up the place of muslims if they don’t even rate their own category!
The dictator, Nicolae Ceausescu, wasn’t a fun dictator to live under.
Seduced by Ceausescu’s “independent” foreign policy, Western leaders were slow to turn against a regime that, by the late 1970s, had become increasingly harsh, arbitrary, and capricious. Rapid economic growth fueled by foreign credits gradually gave way to wrenching austerity and severe political repression, which became increasingly draconian through the 1980s. During the 1947–1962 period, many people were arbitrarily killed or imprisoned for political, economic or unknown reasons:[74] detainees in prisons or camps, deported, persons under house arrest, and administrative detainees. There were hundreds of thousands of abuses, deaths and incidents of torture against a large range of people, from political opponents to ordinary citizens.[75] Between 60,000[76] and 80,000 political prisoners were detained as psychiatric patients and treated in some of the most sadistic ways by doctors.[77] Even though between 1962 and 1964 some political prisoners were freed in a series of amnesties, it is estimated that, in total, two million people were direct victims of the communism repression.[78][79]

I would imagine that the living conditions twisted quite a few people there.
