Who wants to politicize and actualize religion as the only political ideology and possibility?

We tried it! It doesn't give results.

If we were devout believers, these initiatives would not bother us, but...it seems we are not. If we were "pious" Albanians as well, no one would be bothered by diversity. But we have guardians who do not sleep.

If the number of members of a religious community begins to decrease, they sound the alarm, because it seems to them that the balance of God's power on earth is being disturbed.

In fact, the concerned are those who base the electoral power precisely on the believers. If their Lord is endangered, how can they be calm?

They do not believe and cannot expect this matter of conversions to be settled when they go up to heaven, or down, wherever hell and heaven are. They want to solve it politically, an issue which our democratic constitution says should not be confused with politics.

Why get involved in politics?

We Albanians, in this matter, are unique on a planetary scale.

We have also tried the eradication of religion by the state.

The party, Enveri, or in the opposite order, had waged a collective war against religion.

After Khrushchev, who at that time touched us in the holy figure of Stalin, the number one enemy was declared to be God himself. He challenged Enver himself. The creator's trump card was time. Enveri lived as long as he lived and left. A few years later, God also returned from exile. In fact, God's representatives returned, with all possible color.

Then came the new democratic state, reopened the issue, allowed religious facilities to open and promoted the new profile of the religious citizen by attacking Darwin. 

Competition was allowed even in this "business". The Albanians, as infidels that they were for a while, began to compare who is giving more money to pave the way of the citizens to God. Some let go so much that they even embarrassed Skenderbeu himself in his square, in Tirana. No mosque occupied the congregation. Only "Skënderbey" square was working, but ... without Skënderbey.

Thus, the initiators requested that the "Skëdos" monument be covered while they performed the rites, led by preachers who came from there... from where the money also came. The demonstration of power and spread towards Europe was seen as possible only through these public manifestations. This also raises the problematic question: what Muslims are Albanians? Is Tirana the European capital or ... what?

Once upon a time, when the Ottoman Empire had reached the Adriatic Sea, it is said that the Janissaries threw their spears into the sea, in the direction of Rome. Spears had not reached Rome, but fear had.

Today, to discuss the collective exit or entry into a religion is politicization of religion as much as it is Islamism which preaches holy war and Sharia. It is as much politicization as when anti-Islamists attack democracy and the rights of citizens by identifying believers with political movements aiming at an order that has nothing to do with citizenship and democracy.

Who wants to politicize and actualize religion as the only political ideology and possibility?

Who will confront the will of the citizen with the will of God? Who wants to confront faith with democracy? Who wants inter-religious war?

In a country and people with one religion like the Serbs, where the religious and national identity is one, this takes on the proportions of an ideological war, while in peoples who have several religious communities, this can take the form of inter-religious war and strikes at the very foundations of the state, society and freedom of citizens.

Until the West and Europe defeat the Inquisition and recognize the rule of the citizens on earth, the various (geo)political organisms under the guise of the war for God, are fighting democracy by taking sovereignty to the sky, where nothing can be discussed, there from where only they "receive messages".

Once the greatest crimes were committed in the name of God and in the name of the people. Those who suffered were the citizens. In a democracy, the citizen is the undisputed sovereign. In the name of God and the people, peoples were exterminated and all religious principles and civil liberties were violated. Do you think the creator of the universe needs political representatives or mercenaries on earth? Do you not believe in its power? Do you not believe in his universal knowledge?

 Be that as it may, this initiative, apart from giving the other extreme an opportunity to get some publicity and start a public fight, raises an equally interesting question to the question of what kind of Muslims are Albanians: what kind of anti-Muslims are Albanians? Are we really? What are we? Our society has lived for centuries with diversity, but it has (over)lived for several decades even without God...

Did you understand that we were talking about the initiative of a group of citizens from Deçan i Kosovo to abandon Islam? What will we cover our failures with then? When and how will we distinguish believers from political Islam? How will we distinguish the right to believe from the abuse of freedom .../ Pamphlet
