its meaning is ambivalent. For the Ottoman heritage is linked to the nation, takes part in national history, is part of the Albanian, and taken in hand by the nationalist discourse, its perception presents a clear dualism of national facts: the same reality used to affirm a fact and its opposite. In this way, as in many other Balkan states the Ottoman heritage minimized and denied by the nationalists and their books. Ottoman period appears as a dark period which precedonte National Revival. It appears as a period of repression and obscurantism that is responsible for the backwardness of Balkan states in comparison with the rest of Europe. This is clearly expressed and taught in school books and historical writings. In most books and public speeches Islamization of Albanians called accident and disaster that Albanians do not have to forget that they are by their nature Christian. In archives and books of the Ottoman Empire, the opposite occurs, where the Albanians is attributed to a glorious place and talk about them more praise and admiration. A book published in Tirana in 1997 that provides for example a list of 35 Vezirs (Prime Ministers) in the empire from the 15th century until 1922. Sometimes Albanians insist on the similarity of the Albanian and Turkish language and say that 50 percent of the Albanian language is Turkish and Albanian words can follow without problem television programs in Turkish. Many words have a Turkish etymology though some of them originate Greek. Turkey
Albanians recall with nostalgia that they occupy a special place in the Ottoman Empire and its administration especially thanks to their loyalty to the empire and their abilities which is admired and respected by the Turks. Albanians in Turkey show a history that has made partikularitetin the two aspects, positive and Ottoman heritage: An Albanian complains a Turk than 5 centuries of Ottoman Empire had left the country vulnerable to a blizzard. As Turk says? Why qaheni you? During five centuries the majority of ministers of education were Albanian, then you battle them all. Ask yourself and account now. Meet when needed should be taken into account the Turkish-Muslim assimilation operates in our days in some areas of the country. Both words are taken for each other and association with a religious community is often understood as ethnic identity. Greek-Orthodox Assimilation functions in the same manner. In some rural areas vetparaqiten Albanian Muslims as Turks, although I do know the difference better understanding nderrmjet etnonimit religious and national. This fact-confusion used by Christians to at least put in doubt whether their affiliation to the nation, maximum doubt their loyalty to the Albanian nation. Radical Christians use this fact in our days through the media as public accusation, putting them Albanian Muslims dock to make them feel fajesore who have accepted Islam.
They represent Albanian Muslim or Turkish backwardness in the Balkans or the modern Muslim who no connection with other Muslim countries and has an Albanian Muslim, making it almost secular or Islamic nuances poor. Both groups split in divisive ideologies serve want to share the Albanian Muslims while factions removed them from each other and especially from other Muslims be they Turkish or Balkan. On the other hand Christianity is presented as the religion of their ancestors and national pride by using the slogan that every Albanian in its interior has a Christian worldview. Using figures of national heroes Christian emphasis on the establishment of an ideology to future generations paralelizimin consisting of the nation and its heroes with Christianity and Christians. This ideology is developed from a century and has its roots in the Albanian national renaissance with people like Vincenzo Dorset, Constantine Kristoforidhi, etc.. But if the rebirth Albanian Albanian Muslims were very close to Islam and had a clear vision of the traps of fanatics and agents of the church, working until the last moments of the Turkish Empire, in our day and they are just too naive to sophisticated traps , strengthened and modernized the Christian fanatics. For more should be added the fact that after the wars and massacres of Albanian Muslim population pameshirme from Christian countries neighboring wild communism and atheism destroyed any hope the organization Enverian komunitativ and diplomatic Albanian Muslims by leaving them out of Islam as it is far east from west. But the final and lethal shock are given nowadays Albanian Muslims from Christian-secular circles by paralelizuar them with anti-Albanian and Turkish backwardness in the Balkans. This platform started immediately after the influx of church associations in Albania after 1990. These associations, which with the help of the secret services of the church knew that Albanian Muslims after qafirizimit Enveriane dictatorship and communist atheism wild, do you find them without any religious knowledge and spiritual side lost. Lack of knowledge and automatically inkultimi of ignorance and atheism in the Muslim mind make them easy prey for Christian missionaries. But also by economic Albanian Muslims were crushed and it was exactly this point the weak and delicate that missionaries is best used by Muslims bought the poor souls for a piece of bread given that the latter had children and families to feed. The only important element of the Christian missionaries had disrupted economic aid to Muslim countries to send the Muslims after the accession of Albania into the Islamic Conference countries. In this way, parallel with the economic aspect of foreign agjenturat Church began the establishment of a media industry that will be used as a major psychological weapon for the removal of Muslim Albanians from historical truths that even to this day is hidden and minimized our people. Manipulation and deformation The historical facts of the Slavic-communist ideology led many generations to perceive Islam as a religion occupiers who oppress the Albanian people of paralelizuar it with tyranny and backwardness. Having assimilated the religion Islam conqueror they imply that Islam is imposing something foreign and Albanian in the world is not part of the Albanian identity. So I used theses occupancy as a core that discusses and develops a hatred of Islam and the gradual removal of Albanian Muslims from Islam and Christianity closer Attempt retranslation are recognized. After the coup and civil war orchestrated by the Greek church and agjentura grekofilet shqipfoles in our lands of 1997 Muslims were expelled in extent by the state administration and you put a lid their development opportunities in Albanian arena. The murder of Azem Hajdari, Abdi Baletes eliminate from the political scene after threats from the armed grekofileve Band and many other factors that made the church the opportunity given to share freely. Year 2000 and 2001 and the twin towers attacks accelerated and facilitated the work of the church by Albanian Muslims cut any economic assistance from other Islamic countries on charges of financing international terrorozmit. Faced with this misery a small part of the Albanian Muslims were forced to feed their children become spiritual slaves ecclesiastical manipulation and change religion. But although the majority asimiloi some anti-Islamic attitudes did not change the religion but secularism for partially accepted to survive in a society where the Taliban and rimonte Muslim and Christian poverty with wealth, modernity and development. Retranslation are recognized platform ideology of Albanians continued and even intensified in the Muslim territories of Kosovo by the Vatican and church agjenturat after Kosovo's independence and gave the contribution that western countries in recognition of this independence. The main slogan was Europe and America liberated us (ie Christians) and among those is our future, so should Europeanizohemi modernizohemi and (of course, to abandon Islamic custom to adopt Christian ones). True
Nato (to which is part of Turkey) delivered Albanians from Serbian slavery but on condition that they become vassals of Americans and Europeana. The same thing happened before 500 years ago when Sultan delivered us from bondage Serbo-Bulgarian-Greek-Raguziane Venediko (five yoke dhejo a) as requested by us are doing now Europeana and Americans are in Kosovo to its ally. The same scenario the various actors. Although public authorities and American Europeana rikonvertim the Albanians do not want to Christianity under the mat they encourage it by funding and developing anti-Islamic ideology that will lead to generations of Albanian youth in Kosovo to grow and are educated with a deep hatred against Islam, which will automatically make them Christian. If Sultan imposed Albanian Christians 500 years before the economic tax nowadays Albanian Muslims after their impoverishment if you imposed Here only the economic but also ideological and tax mentality. Taking into account the fact that these taxes pagohen only then we dont rikonvertim choice but it remains that the first 500 years of anti-Muslim Albanian n forced to accept Islam, but this time the opposite is happening and is shown the other side of the coin. Then the two sultans which to choose that first 500 years that gave us the hand the keys to Istanbul or this the young man who gave us Kosovo making us in his vassal in the Balkans and returned to us Christians. What Murat, who assumed Kosovo Serbs before 500 years to give it in hand tja Albanian pashas or have rescued the young man who has made it now and ecclesiastical and secular Albanian? Why the first is treated as invaders and konvetues to violence and the second as a liberator and hero? If both lead to the same end which is nderrmjet their differences? The honest answer every Albanian could find at the end of his heart and mind.
