    No, in most cases it was actually worn by the Catholic Ghegs but also the Muslim Ghegs. It was worn over the Qeleshe/Plis

    The Albanians, these tigers of mountain wars ... have as their religion rebellion. Even their worst warrior is one of the strongest and bravest on the battle-field, just as if he was a knight on the legendary horse. But he has no horse, nor proper weapons for battle. Instead of the horse, he has a lance which strikes as lightning, he has spears who's points are full of posion as the sting of hornets, he has also a wooden bow with some arrows. Furthermore, he is stronger than iron ...

    I would like to read Albanian answers. Serious ones if possible.
    Just a supposition, Albania is a very mountainous area, in winter can be very cold, maybe they used to wear the turban is this way to cover their face during winter snow storms. In the same way Tuaregs use it to cover their faces during sand storms.
