It must really suck to be a woman in Kosovo if you can't even tell your own family about being raped. That's the type of mentality I would expect in Saudi Arabia not in a European country.

Those Fox News Jesus people are paranoid about their southern neighbours taking over their country, while in reality their internal problems are much more important. Who does that sound like Plako :skuptoj:

You have the orthodox church building a 500k € church in Lezhe (20 orthodox declared) while they don't have money for the church of Himare or viceversa the Catholic church building churches in southernmost Albania where you can count their followers with your hand fingers. The four institutions that run the main religions in our country are getting back most of the seized properies by the communist regime . Some are selling the seaside terrains like the Orthodox church to build the 5 million cathedral&religious university in Tirana while others keep them and barely make living out of it (bektashi).

Janullatos will not last forever , there will be others following his policies . The orthodox church in Eastern Europe is a country based religion unlike roman catholicism , thus the issue for having the orthodox church run by Greeks while having the catholic leaded by italians once in a while doesn't matter .

Here is an interesting article about the two churches antagonism in Albanian territories during middleages:

While I agree that all religions are problematic, the Catholics have not made any negative headlines in Albania for as long as I remember, and their goals are generally aligned with our national aspirations.

I don't think women have an easy time in any European country telling their family about being raped. It's a taboo subject in most countries.

The only truth in your analogy is that Greece and Mexico are south of Albania and USA respectively. I must admit that was a nice try though :)

Yep, that's exactly it. It's the ALBANIAN orthodox church. There is no Albanian Catholic church or Albanian Islamic Mosque. Orthodoxy in and of itself means nothing outside borders. It's just a remnant sect from Byzantine times. You have the Serbs and Greeks who try to impose their nationalistic beliefs, but you know at the end of the day it's all b.s. Albanian Orthodox people being brainwashed by Greeks is about the same as Macedonian Orthodox or Bulgarian Orthodox people being brainwashed by Greeks. Or Austrians being brainwashed by Italians. Never going to happen, unless they're Greek minorities. Turkey and Saudi Arabia hold exponentially more power and influence than Greece who is going bankrupt.

And I'm not even saying the majority of Muslims are Arabophiles. I'm saying as a percentage the number of Arabophiles and Turkophiles amongst Muslims is wayyyyyyy higher than Italophiles or Grecophiles amongst Christians.

There is nothing that qualifies as rape in the Saudis.

In Kosova it has more to do with how conservative people still are. Nderi i familjes se vajzes matet me ngushtin e bires se vajzes.

It's the same shit in Albania too and there was stories written how many young Albanian girls are getting surgery on their hymens so they can still be "virgins" when they get married. Get out of here with your false sense of elitism by thinking you're more European.

If you think one region of Albanians are better than the other you guys are mentally retarded. You have northerners still doing blood vendettas for stupid fueds, you have an entire village in Lazarti that was armed to the teeth and supplying Europe it's drugs, you have traffickers tricking albanians to the illusion of Europe, etc.

Of course there are differences between regions. But the biggest difference is urban/rural not by state. You can't compare middle of Tirana to Kukesi, or villages in Prizren to Prishtina.

Where do you come up with this kind of shit? I'm being serious. I have lived most of my live outside of Europe. Why would I think of myself as being European at all let alone "more" European?
