Are Albanians Proud to be Muslim? Poll!

Dude wtf is heaven. Please grow up and live your life. Stop caring about middle eastern creations, why don't you go live in jerusalem amongst the people you worship to see how much you fit in? I bet you wouldn't like it.

From my own experience, Albanians seem to be the most nationalistic people I know.

We are and i think it has to do with others trying to take away our identity but our language has withstood, I have gotten in trouble over it at work before and at another job was given the nickname "nationalist insert my name here" by a guy at work, as a joke

I am just glad that slowly the world is overcoming religion and I am more widely accepted as an irreligious person, but some people are still sucked into it like isis are showing

We are heavily divided when it comes to religion , this shocks even me as Albanian. In Macedonia i divide Albanians in 3 groups:

1. The heavily religious Albanians who are more extreme than the Isis members , they are a small minority of around 5% of all Albanians in Macedonia, usually people from villages who haven't finished school but suprisingly they have really good talking skills mainly because they read alot of religious stuff translated into Albanian.

2. The heavily atheist/pro-european Albanians who would insult you on the street if you have a beard , they want to close all mosques and would never let their son marry a girl from a religious family, they equally hate the religious orthodox/catholics. They represent a good chunk of the Albanians ( Around 30-40% ) , quite nationalist and Scanderbeg is their superman , 99.99% of school teachers are like this and i think its mandatory to be atheist to be a teacher where i live. The youth of this group are football fanatics.

3. The third group and the biggest is the moderate Albanians , who are muslim and they go to the mosque only on Friday ( and post a picture on Facebook about it) the rest of the week they do whatever ( work, coffee , night clubs ) . They also all like Turkey as a country but would like to be into the European union , they are heavily materialistic and like football/cars.

Jesus was not dark skinned

He probably was light olive and looked Middle Eastern Caucasian similar to Assyrians

This is how Jesus is depicted on old Byzantine icons and its probably how he looked like



Not that it matters
To someone who did realy understand the Christian teaching it actually doesn't

Wrong. He was the same as jews from that time.

Byzantine did not care for what he looked like, they changed his appearance to suit their agenda, they invented Christianity to have a general rule over the empire and its people under one government 350 years after "jesus" died, that wasnt his real name by the way. Also him being a jew helped the romans expand their territory well into the middle east

The Albanians I have known have all been Orthodox Christians.

I agree with most of this except for 2 points.

No albanians are more religious than isis, isis is the exteme in fact no one out there is more religious than them, only the pope comes close.

As for atheist albanians, I am one and always have been. Ive never been in a mosque and only went inside a church with a school when i was young. I grow a beard when i feel like it, sometimes tiny sometimes bigger (red tint in the middle which scared my ex).

Basically I don't care for rules, growing a beard doesn't make you religious, it makes you human. Cave men and people before religions grew beards too

You live in Chicago? From my understanding Albanians in Chicago are more typically Orthodox Christian. NYC seems like a mixed bag.

[Colonel Frank Grimes]

Frank, when the day comes that the likes of you can lecture me on morals, it would be the day that I would drain my blood to the last drop.

I'm sure you'll fuck that up as well as you fucked up pretending to be a war veteran.
