Are Albanians Proud to be Muslim? Poll!

Who said Gheg? You could be a Tosk.

Never mind.

Why? Illyrians were useless tribesmen who got slaughtered and conquered by everyone.

Lets not ignore their colorful folk traditions, headdress, and horsemanship. Illyrians are people too!

[Daco Celtic]

Illyrians(or pre-Illyrians) were from central Europe, Hallstatt zone. They definitely weren't majority E-v13. Where's Bosniensis.

Hallstatt? That sounds more like the Celts. As far as Illyrians, there doesn't seem to be any kind of consensus on their origin. I've heard one theory that they came from the steppe (Kurgan hypothesis) but I'm not going to pretend to know.

Archaeologists associate the Illyrians with the eastern Hallstatt culture, an Iron Age people, not necessarily belonging to any modern meta-ethnicity but yeah, they were Indo-European speakers obviously.

They are very proud, but they hide it officially. They trying to present themselves as secular to keep support of western centers of power.
On every Albanian wedding in Kosovo is heard "Allahu Akbar", I know from the first hand.
People which think that Albanians don't care for Islam are very naive. Albanian identification with Islam is older and longer than their nationalism.

Sure,islam is stronger among people than the online forums users would like it to be

Illryians, Thracians, Dacians.. Illyro-Thracians, Illyro-Dacians, Daco-Illyrians, Daco-Thracians, Thraco-Dacians, Thraco-Illyrians.. there is an orgy of speculation as regards these groups, their inter-relations, how they correlate, how they differ, their origins, their legacies..

[Colonel Frank Grimes]

They are just ordinary people like you and I, living ordinary lives, and wanting the ordinary things from life..

If ordinary people were actually in charge in the Balkans, its history wouldn't be so bloody. Same thing applies across all of the world.

The moment people lose their feeling of security they will cut your throat. It's very easy to be good and kind when everyone has food on the table but the moment the shit hits the fan these ordinary people are the ones committing atrocities. They don't need to be manipulated. They want to live and if it means you have to die for them to live they will do what they must. They easily get swept up in the violence. The one who won't cut your throat is the exception to the rule and you can imagine that person doesn't end very well.

They easily get swept away by the tide. The one who won't cut your throat is the exception to the rule and you can imagine that person doesn't end very well.

Agreed. But my position is that all people are vulnerable to such a regression.
