Haradinaj replays: I am Albanian, I am not Muslim

“We are a Euro-Atlantic nation, when we were in trouble, the US and NATO were with us, so we belong to this group”, he said.

I am Albanian, I am not Muslim, religion is not my first identity, the truth is that we have existed for more than 2,000 years, before Muhammad or Jesus. We lived as Christians for a long time, and we accepted Muslim religion through the Ottoman administration “, further added Haradinaj to the Midleeastye newspaper.

It further notes that more than 90 percent of the country's 1.8 million people are Kosovo Albanians and Muslims, secular institutions are precious, mosques are less visible than those in parts of the Middle East and there is less appetite for Islamic law.

While Kosovars aspire to NATO and European Union membership (BE), they can play an Islamic identity to facilitate their path to a club of Christian-rooted states.

Turkey's” experience may be helpful. Ankara and the EU opened membership talks in 2005, but negotiations have been halted, as the majority of the 81 million people are moving further “from the bloc”, according to a recent EU report.

For some Muslim rights lawyers, this reinforces an idea that the EU and some of its members are hostile to Islam and do not want millions of Muslims from Turkey, Kosovo and other parts of the Balkans to join them.

As a result, the worked article has also been pointed out that rarely in Islamic countries are American presidents honoured, however, such a thing has been seen to distinguish in the Kosovo region, calling it a rare pocket of the Muslim world.

This is because American leaders of past years are always honored because of reports and friendships they have among themselves since shares for assistance in the recent war in Kosovo.
