can´t believe that so many Albanians are even proud of calling their own not being a faithful nation, except "Albanianism" ...what is actually only a quite stupid designation for "nationalism".

well, let them believe in "Albanianism", or even into "Jediism" if it fits better to their illusions of "force" ..humm.., oh, POWER of course... =)

it won´t help them anyway, Serbia will prevail, it´s only a question of time.

let´s just see what future brings...

. It is known that he proselytized in the ancient city of Dyrrachium, now called Durres, hence, indicating that the Albanians/Illyrians were among the first to adopt Christianity on the Balkan Peninsula.

=======================

And the first to renounce it?

Don't get me wrong. I am not trying to be smart here but it seems to me that you are people who don't have a religion you actually believe in, because you are ready to change any time if it suits your agenda.

In that case, please stop saying how so many of you are Christian for Christianity obviously doesn't mean much to you.
You appealed to the Islamic Council but Islam doesn't mean that much to you either. It seems you will use religion whenever it suits you.
No wonder most of the world is suspicious of your intentions and will not back you up in your dream of another Albanian country.

Albanians generally speaking have never been a people of faith, if we were a people with religious beliefs like the greeks we would not have converted to islam when the ottomans came. This tells me that Albanians converted to islam so they could gain an edge within the foreign occupiers to better their chances for Albanian survival. Now in 2011 Albania will conduct a sensus were the citizens declare their ethincity and religion, Am 100% sure that islam will no longer be the dominant religion in Albania because the faith of Albanians is Albanianism.

Peggy's request on Albanianism:

Please send me a link to a site explaining this new religion. I am fascinated.
(Peggy, 24 May 2010 01:37)

Dear Peggy,

First of all, I am happy that you are facinated, as well you should be.
Second, to be clear, Albanianism is not a religion per se and neither is it new. I think Alproud pretty much summed it up rather well in one of his comments earlier in this discussion. It is a concept that Serbs and Greeks have difficulty understanding. The concept predates Islam and probably Christianity as well. Let me remind you that when the Slavs arrived in the Balkans they had not yet discovered Christianity. They gradually adopted it as their religion after being exposed to it by the Albanians. In fact, the Serbs, like the Russians, only recently celebrated 1000 years of being Christians. As you may know, Saint Paul traveled through Albania in the first century A. D. It is known that he proselytized in the ancient city of Dyrrachium, now called Durres, hence, indicating that the Albanians/Illyrians were among the first to adopt Christianity on the Balkan Peninsula.

So "Albanism" is kind of a severe form of national extremism, totally outside of religious aspects?
(Top, 25 May 2010 16:58)

If you think about it, Albanianism is as arbitrary as your orthodoxy (some 20-25% of Alb in fact are orthodox). What holds your religious belief to a higher standard? Nothing really, just your self-conviction. A system of morals, traditions, rituals and ethics exist in Albanism as much as in your orthodoxy. The difference is that we are more self conscious and passionate about Albanian system of values, than the religious ones (christian or islamic).

So yes, Albanism is a severe form of national extremism, as much as Orthodoxy is such for Serbs.

In any case, these extremist jihadist are without a doubt a bunch of cockroaches who obviously have no respect for the Albanism and act complitely against our self-interest. I would personally show no mercy at them.

What exactly does that mean? I keep seeing it all the time but nobody is actually explaining what Albanianism is.
Do you worship in a church, temple, synagogue, mosque or a grass hut?
Do you have special events and what do you call your religious leaders?

(Peggy, 24 May 2010 01:37)

Serbs have a different take on religion and I respect that, and you should respect the others'.

If Orthodoxy is central to your identity, for Albanians religion is at best immaterial.

Even the Alb code of Kanun, 1000 yrs ago describes a society deeply and utterly secular, while the church was in the center of the universe for every other society in Europe.

But in fact you act as if you don't understand. Albanism is simply the worship of our own culture, custums, tradition, morals, ethics and history, which exist and is worshiped in spite and independent of christ or mohamed.

Albanins have their own moral, ethics and norms, and apparently they don't need a christ or a mohamed to do what's right.

It is this simple.

As an Albanian that comes from a muslim family, I say hang them. I would personally vote for every measure that eradicates islam from Albanian lands.

Pashko Vasa 1825 - 1892, was an Albanian writer, poet and publicist of the Albanian National Awakening.
One of his poems went something like this:
Wake up Albanians, wake up,
All together as brothers, Unite!
Do not look up to mosques and churches,
For Albanians’ religion is Albanianism.

It had a strong message at the time when different religious forces were attempting to divide our nation.
Today, 30% of Albanians in Albania are non-Muslim. That's Albanians, not other nationalities. That tells you something about our exceptional religious tolerance. If 30% of the Serbs in Serbia were Muslim (not Albanians/Bosnians living in Serbia but Serbs) you'd have had a very different view towards religion.

Albanianism is exclusively for Albanians only. You'd have to be one to understand its meaning.

Sir, you only claim that I contradict myself while you don't tell me where I did so.

Anyway, it is insufficient arguing with you because you are too sentimental in discussing such issues. UNSCR 1244 is still active but you have to remember that it is only for some countries such as Serbia. There are already 69 countries who have recognized Kosovo as a state, compared to Taiwan 23 which to many people might not look quiet independent for China it is still not considered part of it. Why is this? Because it is U.S. who has committed to protecting it in case it is attacked. Serbia is not China neither is Kosovo Taiwan, but that is simply to say that Kosovo is not part of Serbia anymore, and this is the consideration given by even the EU members who haven't recognized it while some recognize its passports or have participated in the EULEX mission.

The bottom line, for Albanians it is historically, politically, culturally and morally impossible to accept Belgrade as the capital of our nation. Why? Very simple, because we are not the same and we are not less than you to be subordinate to your rule. One might call Kosovo whatever he pleases but someone who understand politics or is a realist by that matter is more cautious to predict that Kosovo will be under Belgrades governance anymore. That is the difference between an opinion and argument.

It is comparable to Nazi propoganda to claim that all problems in the Balkans are because of Albanians.

You have already too many times contradicted yourself in your rebuddle.

The facts remain as such; Most of the world conciders Kosovo as Serbia, legal documentation states that Kosovo is Serbia; The Serbo-albs are the ones ignoring this documentation (RES;1244). You masters in the US of A are know realizing that this documentation is stronger and mightier than ther "forces" and imperialistc views.

Your allies are falling behind, and you know this. You will be left alone in this paradox of a "nation-you call it" which in reality is the hole you have dug for yourself to lay in.

Belgrade will once again have to clean the mess you have made, and re-instate legal order on these grounds. Only then will you be able to live in freedom, not having to slave for Thaci. You will have jobs and a infrastructure, once you finally accept Belgrade as your nations capital.

The whole region economically is being burnt thanks to your "values", but once again you will be taught the better way. Good luck in this.

Culture, hisotry AND religious tolerance???? Wasn't it the Albanians who immedialtly sided with the Ottomans to avoid persecution? Wasn't it the Albanians who sided with Fascism out of fear and no-will in fighting for freedom?

And you have added, 2000 years ago of Albanian hisotry, are you being serious? Or have you seen "The Lord of the Rings" to many times.= And what is your point of Nude sculptures being present in Europe 200 years ago ? This is Europe mate, welcome. I know you and your so-called descendants just came yesterday but it's time to live up to the label you have imprinted on yourselves and drop your ancient mongolian mentality.

This is rather childish argumentation full of sentimental hatred. It is not me who knows that Albanians have lived in the peninsula for thousands of years. It is documented history available to everyone who is interested. If not then pursue the short cut by creating your version of history based on nothing but your desires and opinions. I like to speak with facts only.

This is Europe, it is very true. No wonder the so called western europe is a copy of what is now known as the "troubled neighborhood" of europe, the balkans because such things happened here, in the Balkans, before they could happen there, Western Europe. European civilization started here in case you didn't know and not Berlin, Paris or London.

Albanian religious tolerance is exemplary. In a muslim majority country it turned out to be the only country in Europe where more Jews lived after the WWII than they did before the war began. Now there are more churches than mosques. They are both only meters away from each other and it bothers nobody to see them that way. They sided with the Ottomans as the only way to survive and have a country because everyone was against us. But this by no means tells the relationship that Albanians had with Ottoman Empire. No wonder they faced the strongest challenge there and had to constantly fight them to keep them under control.

You have to be there to understand it better yourself or simply be better informed and know the reality better.

I know how people dress in Albania, but my point was that this group of extremist islamist are backwards people that don't represent us by any means. If you like to label it as such, its your choice, but that's not the truth and it is misleading.

Shocked to see Albanians involved in Wahabism. As KiM is set to stay an illegal partially recognized international protectorate until inevitable RE-INTEGRATION WITH SERBIA, a militant minority will gravitate to IslamoFascism. If 1% are converted, thats 10 000 Albanian men ready to kill Christian Serbs. DONT write off this incident. Albanians are desperate & cornered. Kurti's secular Vetvendosja is one variant, Islamofascism is the other as Albanians are abandoned by the Secular West.

So "Albanism" is kind of a severe form of national extremism, totally outside of religious aspects?
(Top, 25 May 2010 16:58)

If you think about it, Albanianism is as arbitrary as your orthodoxy (some 20-25% of Alb in fact are orthodox). What holds your religious belief to a higher standard? Nothing really, just your self-conviction. A system of morals, traditions, rituals and ethics exist in Albanism as much as in your orthodoxy. The difference is that we are more self conscious and passionate about Albanian system of values, than the religious ones (christian or islamic).

So yes, Albanism is a severe form of national extremism, as much as Orthodoxy is such for Serbs.

In any case, these extremist jihadist are without a doubt a bunch of cockroaches who obviously have no respect for the Albanism and act complitely against our self-interest. I would personally show no mercy at them.

Dear Peggy,

First of all, I am happy that you are facinated, as well you should be.
Second, to be clear, Albanianism is not a religion per se and neither is it new. I think Alproud pretty much summed it up rather well in one of his comments earlier in this discussion. It is a concept that Serbs and Greeks have difficulty understanding. The concept predates Islam and probably Christianity as well. Let me remind you that when the Slavs arrived in the Balkans they had not yet discovered Christianity. They gradually adopted it as their religion after being exposed to it by the Albanians. In fact, the Serbs, like the Russians, only recently celebrated 1000 years of being Christians. As you may know, Saint Paul traveled through Albania in the first century A. D. It is known that he proselytized in the ancient city of Dyrrachium, now called Durres, hence, indicating that the Albanians/Illyrians were among the first to adopt Christianity on the Balkan Peninsula.

Albanians generally speaking have never been a people of faith, if we were a people with religious beliefs like the greeks we would not have converted to islam when the ottomans came. This tells me that Albanians converted to islam so they could gain an edge within the foreign occupiers to better their chances for Albanian survival. Now in 2011 Albania will conduct a sensus were the citizens declare their ethincity and religion, Am 100% sure that islam will no longer be the dominant religion in Albania because the faith of Albanians is Albanianism.

Don't get me wrong. I am not trying to be smart here but it seems to me that you are people who don't have a religion you actually believe in, because you are ready to change any time if it suits your agenda.

In that case, please stop saying how so many of you are Christian for Christianity obviously doesn't mean much to you.
You appealed to the Islamic Council but Islam doesn't mean that much to you either. It seems you will use religion whenever it suits you.
No wonder most of the world is suspicious of your intentions and will not back you up in your dream of another Albanian country.

Shocked to see Albanians involved in Wahabism. As KiM is set to stay an illegal partially recognized international protectorate until inevitable RE-INTEGRATION WITH SERBIA, a militant minority will gravitate to IslamoFascism. If 1% are converted, thats 10 000 Albanian men ready to kill Christian Serbs. DONT write off this incident. Albanians are desperate & cornered. Kurti's secular Vetvendosja is one variant, Islamofascism is the other as Albanians are abandoned by the Secular West.

BH_NYC, after all the Serbs in north Mitrovica are deported to Serbia (although they live in Serbia) for illegal gun possession - all the Albanians throughout Kosovo witk illegal firearms (al of them) should be arrested and sent back to Albania. Do you see how ridiculous your statement is? The story is about Wahabbi's with weapons, and you concentrate on the Serbs. Go and look under your bed right away, there may be a serb under there waiting ti get you. Too much!

This incident needs to be remembered for some while into the future, I fear. The warnings were there during the Balkan war. As we are already discovering, Kosovo as a State is still immature and naive and lacking virtually everything that is required to sort this type of problem out should it prove, as some of us predict it will, to be far greater already than might be known. Nevertheless, praise does have to be offered to the authorities for his find.

You have already too many times contradicted yourself in your rebuddle.

The facts remain as such; Most of the world conciders Kosovo as Serbia, legal documentation states that Kosovo is Serbia; The Serbo-albs are the ones ignoring this documentation (RES;1244). You masters in the US of A are know realizing that this documentation is stronger and mightier than ther "forces" and imperialistc views.

Your allies are falling behind, and you know this. You will be left alone in this paradox of a "nation-you call it" which in reality is the hole you have dug for yourself to lay in.

Belgrade will once again have to clean the mess you have made, and re-instate legal order on these grounds. Only then will you be able to live in freedom, not having to slave for Thaci. You will have jobs and a infrastructure, once you finally accept Belgrade as your nations capital.

The whole region economically is being burnt thanks to your "values", but once again you will be taught the better way. Good luck in this.

Congratulation to the Albanian authorities. Even when the absolute majority clearly opposes any form Islamism, such as the Wahabism, it is necessary to keep eyes and ears open to destroy those elements. However, I'm very proud of my society that this kind of extremism has hardly a chance to have a stand. Religion of the Albanians is Albaniasm.

This is rather childish argumentation full of sentimental hatred. It is not me who knows that Albanians have lived in the peninsula for thousands of years. It is documented history available to everyone who is interested. If not then pursue the short cut by creating your version of history based on nothing but your desires and opinions. I like to speak with facts only.

This is Europe, it is very true. No wonder the so called western europe is a copy of what is now known as the "troubled neighborhood" of europe, the balkans because such things happened here, in the Balkans, before they could happen there, Western Europe. European civilization started here in case you didn't know and not Berlin, Paris or London.

Albanian religious tolerance is exemplary. In a muslim majority country it turned out to be the only country in Europe where more Jews lived after the WWII than they did before the war began. Now there are more churches than mosques. They are both only meters away from each other and it bothers nobody to see them that way. They sided with the Ottomans as the only way to survive and have a country because everyone was against us. But this by no means tells the relationship that Albanians had with Ottoman Empire. No wonder they faced the strongest challenge there and had to constantly fight them to keep them under control.

You have to be there to understand it better yourself or simply be better informed and know the reality better.

I know how people dress in Albania, but my point was that this group of extremist islamist are backwards people that don't represent us by any means. If you like to label it as such, its your choice, but that's not the truth and it is misleading.

Pashko Vasa 1825 - 1892, was an Albanian writer, poet and publicist of the Albanian National Awakening.
One of his poems went something like this:
Wake up Albanians, wake up,
All together as brothers, Unite!
Do not look up to mosques and churches,
For Albanians’ religion is Albanianism.

It had a strong message at the time when different religious forces were attempting to divide our nation.
Today, 30% of Albanians in Albania are non-Muslim. That's Albanians, not other nationalities. That tells you something about our exceptional religious tolerance. If 30% of the Serbs in Serbia were Muslim (not Albanians/Bosnians living in Serbia but Serbs) you'd have had a very different view towards religion.

Sir, you only claim that I contradict myself while you don't tell me where I did so.

Anyway, it is insufficient arguing with you because you are too sentimental in discussing such issues. UNSCR 1244 is still active but you have to remember that it is only for some countries such as Serbia. There are already 69 countries who have recognized Kosovo as a state, compared to Taiwan 23 which to many people might not look quiet independent for China it is still not considered part of it. Why is this? Because it is U.S. who has committed to protecting it in case it is attacked. Serbia is not China neither is Kosovo Taiwan, but that is simply to say that Kosovo is not part of Serbia anymore, and this is the consideration given by even the EU members who haven't recognized it while some recognize its passports or have participated in the EULEX mission.

The bottom line, for Albanians it is historically, politically, culturally and morally impossible to accept Belgrade as the capital of our nation. Why? Very simple, because we are not the same and we are not less than you to be subordinate to your rule. One might call Kosovo whatever he pleases but someone who understand politics or is a realist by that matter is more cautious to predict that Kosovo will be under Belgrades governance anymore. That is the difference between an opinion and argument.

It is comparable to Nazi propoganda to claim that all problems in the Balkans are because of Albanians.

Serbs have a different take on religion and I respect that, and you should respect the others'.

If Orthodoxy is central to your identity, for Albanians religion is at best immaterial.

Even the Alb code of Kanun, 1000 yrs ago describes a society deeply and utterly secular, while the church was in the center of the universe for every other society in Europe.

But in fact you act as if you don't understand. Albanism is simply the worship of our own culture, custums, tradition, morals, ethics and history, which exist and is worshiped in spite and independent of christ or mohamed.

Albanins have their own moral, ethics and norms, and apparently they don't need a christ or a mohamed to do what's right.

It is this simple.

As an Albanian that comes from a muslim family, I say hang them. I would personally vote for every measure that eradicates islam from Albanian lands.
