Nation Building in Kosovo

Submitted by Labi, Feb 28, 2008 10:02

Well said, I am from Kosovo and my family is muslim, I have been raised in a muslim family but noone ever practiced islam and noone does. My father who is 50 years old doesnt know how to pray, we just celebrate muslim holidays like eid and other holidays because to us it is more like a tradition. If i was in charge i would separate state and religion and i believe that's what the leadership in Kosovo will do. I am against religion and state tied together in anyway. I also don't like how the arabs pour money in Kosovo and built mosques I wish they would stop doing that. I would like to ask the EU and US and Kosovo's government to stop this and if arabs want to invest in Kosovo then they should built schools not mosques, i don't think building mosques is going to advance our country forward. Again Albanians are most pro-american people in the world and pro-european so i don't think that any albanian will ever turn against america because of religion, not a single one. Just like Kuwait who appreciates america and gave 500 million dollars when Hurricane Katrina hit. I just don't like Islam to interfere in Kosovo's people because we albanians never practiced any religion and i think we should be that way.
