The former grand mufti of Macedonia's Islamic Community, Jakup Selimovski, said that ethnic Macedonians -- though predominantly Orthodox Christian and fiercely loyal to the Macedonian Orthodox Church -- are increasingly becoming familiar with the Islamic faith and its holidays.
Bivši veliki muftija Makedonske islamske zajednice, Jakup Selimovski, izjavio je da se etnički Makedonci -- iako uglavnom pravoslavni kršćani i vrlo lojalni Makedonskoj pravoslavnoj crkvi -- sve više upoznaju s islamskom vjerom i njezinim blagdanima.
