<quoted text>Yes, I agree to what you say but if you think about it most of us Albanians who are muslims today carried the catholic and orthodox religion since the day it was introduced to us until 14th century when the ottomans invaded Balkan and forced islam to most of us. 500 years is obviously still less than over 1000s years...and that makes a lot of difference for us to stick to our own principles. Peace.

THIS JUST HAPPENED IN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS IN THE REGION OF RUGOVA AND DRENICA. WHEN BEING ASKED WHY THEY CONVERTED FROM ISLAM TO CATHOLIC THEIR ANSWER WAS, WE WANT TO HAVE BACK OUR TRUE RELIGION WHICH WAS ONES TAKEN AWAY FROM US BY FORCE FROM THE OTTOMANS. THESE FAMILIES ALSO STARTED TO BUILD THEIR CHURCHES AROUND THESE REGIONS.
I PERSONALLY FIND THIS TOUCHING, VERY TOUCHING IN A POSITIVE WAY THOUGH. I FEEL THE SAME, IN A WAY.
IS THIS ONLY THE BEGINNING?

Do you think Albanian muslims will cause them any problems for converting? I know both a muslim Albanian and a Catholic one and they seem to be ok with each other.

<quoted text>again i dont like to push religion,but even the great skanderbeg was a catholic when it came to religion,he hated turks and knew that they were gonna ruin the balkans,and personally even that alb flag is a catholic flag carried against the turks,so many akbs fought as did every balkan country against them,some never quit fighting thru all 500 yrs,i find this story incredible and inspiring for all muslims in balkans

its a smart move.it makes sence.old albanian heros fought the turks.why take turk religion.
politically its a smart move too.people in europe wont care whos right or wrong.if they see you are muslim,they will be against you.kosova has recognition but they dont have people behind it.

<quoted text>I absolutely agree. The Albanian flag is thought to be thousands of years old and yes it is definately a catholic flag, for sure. All of us fought side by side against the Ottomans, BUT I do not believe that the Serbs fought alongside us simply because their history is based on lies and propaganda. Name me one single serb who is regarded as a National hero and who fought the Ottomans? All you hear today from the turks is them saying, we remember how well the serbs treated us ottomans with their women, but they never mention that they gave them any resistance at all.

you know why these people converted?
because they are poor, they have no food to feed their families and all these 100's of christian missionaries are in kosova trying to lure people with money into converting. i was in kosove myself and i saw with my own eyes how these christian missionaries are using their money to convert the poor people. its discusting, this is a pathetic move to the fullest. they are doing the same thing in kosove as they are with poor people in africa. how come you only see poor people converting to christianity? you guys are a bunch of phedophiles
