Sweden: Muslims to get funds from 'church tax'
Via SVT (Swedish)
The Bosnian Islamic Society (BIS) is the first Muslim community to get reimbursements back from the church tax, similarly to the Church of Sweden, following a government decision Thursday.
The association, which met certain criteria on finance and stability, will get help from the Tax Authority with managing the funds.
BIS was established in the mid-1990s and has 12,000 members. It has 26 local communities.
