  Bulgaria has been mentioned in Norwegian terrorist Anders Behring Breivik in the context of what he perceives as "the myth of the Muslim tolerance" in his 1500-page manifesto

"Most of the subdued Balkan nations (Serbs, Greeks, Rumanians, and Bulgarians) are Eastern Orthodox - like Russians. That did not fit British interests. That is how Britain allied itself with Turkey and invented the myth of the Muslim tolerance," he claims.

"When Turks cut throats, raped women and stole children of Balkan Christians - it was OK for the Brits - it was an expression of tolerance," Breivik goes on, referring to the Ottoman rule of the Balkans and the and the attitudes of the great powers towards it in the 19th century.

"By the late 19th century, tensions among the European subjects of the Empire broke out into the open when the Ottoman government massacred 30,000 Bulgarians in 1876 for allegedly rebelling against Ottoman rule. Following Western intervention that resulted in Bulgarian independence, the Ottoman government and its Muslim subjects were increasingly nervous about other non-Muslim groups seeking independence," Breivik elaborates on the situation of the Ottoman Empire during that period as a part of his "Jihad in the Modern Era chapter.

Behring Breivik, 32, is being held in connection with the bombing in Oslo's government district on Friday that killed at least seven people and shootings that left at least 80 people dead at a youth camp on nearby Utoya island the same day.

During questioning, Brevik revealed that he had intended to kill former Prime Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland during her presentation on the island earlier in the afternoon but he was delayed.

The 1,500-page manifesto, entitled "2083: A European Declaration of Independence," that Breivik had recently written and posted online. In The first half, he indicts the European cultural elite for permitting Islam to take root in Europe.

In the second half he describes himself as having revived the Knights Templar. He also outlines in extreme detail how he and his fellow anti-jihadists can acquire weapons, ammunition and body armor and thereupon proceed to use "terror as a method for waking up the masses" to the danger posed by Islam.
