Religous Structure of Albania

[adsız]

I have been reading some Albanian members of TA for some time. They all look hating Islam very much. So, i made a little search about Albanian's religion.

Here is results of my search:

Before communist regime (WWII);

Islam: 70%
Eastern Orthodox: 20%
Roman Catholics : 10%

After communism (2011 census):

Islam : 58.79%
Christianity: 16.99%
Others : 24.31 %

Some important Albanian figures:

Muhammed Ali Pasha


Ismail Qemali (Founder of modern Albania)



Ferid Murad



As it can be clearly seen from the census of 2011, the majority of Albanians are still Muslim.

Then, why do Albanian members pretend opposite ?
We also see that during communist regime, number of Muslims decreased. Why? They think this is the best way to be accepted by europeans? They tend to follow whoever stronger ?


Do you know about this creature ?

Albanian government enforced Atheism I think. That's why it decreased. It had nothing to do with being perceived as 'European' by others.

Most Albanians dont care about your shitty religion called Islam.

Most Albanians dont care about Islam.

You have some evidence supporting your words to refute 2011 Census, like survey, poll... etc ?

[StormBringer]

Maybe TA doesn't look appealing to those 59 percent.

ferid murati is the only Albanian that has noble prize for medicine the principal contributor of the discovering of the viagra .

I suggest you remove ethnicity albanian from your profile if you do not know the most famous albanian scientist.

90% of the Albos here don't live in Albania.

Albanian concept of religion is different from every country in the world.

When you ask an albanian what religious he is he will say muslim orthodox or catholic based on what their great grand parents were labeled during ottoman era.

He himself may not believe in any religion .In albania there are four religions sunni,bektashian,catholic orthodox,

The prime minister of albania is catholic converted from orthodox,his children are protestant,The head of the parlament is bektashian,ministers are muslims,orthodox,protestant,catholic.and atheists.

Albania is an unique case that does not care about religion.In albania people celebrate the summer day witch is national holiday and is pagan nature.

In albania most of the people are agnostics.

Intereligious marriages are usual and the norm .
