Shkruar nga Fadil Lepaja Ed's big "brother" went, went through the political transit of Tirana to Belgrade, but left behind a lot of dust. The Muslim community in Albania was extremely agitated, rightly or wrongly, but at the end of the day, nothing about Islam passes between us without strong political turbulence...
Blood calmed down, passions also died down a little. Ed's "brother" went. As you know, Edi has several political brothers in the region. There are also friends, and the latter are mostly Albanians. The "brothers" are not Albanians. It is not blood brotherhood, as Albini claims; his fraternity is religious. Brother to all. When you consider that Albania is a secular country, this requires a serious effort to understand this (un)intentional concentration of religious institutions and organizations in Tirana.
Then, knowing that Edi, even as a socialist, does not say much from this side, then it remains to understand all this as a tendency to control and balance the big religions in Albania, since Enver Hoxha, "the Lord" in the land of the Albanian socialists, he had failed to extinguish them with the dictatorship of the proletariat. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, a cartoon hero my generation grew up with once commanded.
The theory of controlled chaos, the balance of influence of major religions in the small Albanian neighborhood in the Balkans, is the great challenge that Edi seems to be trying to face, using their energy for confrontation but also cooperation. Either way, he gets the publicity. Bad or good, Edi does not care about publicity, according to the slogan "there is no such thing as bad publicity".
No one knows, is this just another political performance of his, which will be closed as soon as he has achieved the media goals, or if a vortex is really forming in Albania which will mix the cultures and beliefs that history met and kept them in our lands. In any case, this would be a colossal project that even the enlightened political mind of Edi's advisers would hardly have thought of, but besides "brothers" and "friends", in politics it seems that Edi may also have "political parents"... who they open the road with an excavator.
Well, let's get back to the topic, Ed's big "brother" went, went through the political transit of Tirana, but left behind a lot of dust. The Muslim community in Albania was extremely agitated, rightly or wrongly, but at the end of the day, nothing about Islam passes between us without strong political turbulence.
So, before, during and after this announced visit, which passed with maximum publicity, where Erdogan promoted the Great Mosque of Namazgja, and Edi recognized the ownership of this land for the Islamic community, the debates were and continue to remain heated, as well how a noisy ideological fight is going on in Kosovo between Islamic extremists and the equally extreme movement for conversion from Islam to Christianity.
All this was happening before the visit of the Turkish president to Serbia, where only a few days later he will make powerful economic agreements, including those for the joint production of "Bajraktar" drones, of which Albania has already bought 3, while Kosovo 5. Serbia will have the drone factory, as the Serbian military industry is the only one in the region which has respectable capacities compared to the Turkish military industry which appears respectable even on a global scale.
We have not parted without anything either, as we are left with donations in the form of mosques, the construction of which also benefited religious leaders and businesses close to them. Now, the investment of millions in the Great Mosque in Tirana was probably rightly expected to be crowned with a man, a Turkish imam at its head, who best represents the ideas and intentions of the investor. Perhaps it cannot be called an investment, since the investment aims at profit, while this is only a "spiritual" investment. This means that the road to God passes through Istanbul, more precisely through Ankara.
The "green transversal" that Turkey has been accused of building in the Balkans is actually becoming a reality and it, although on a smaller scale, is analogous to the "silk road" that China is building towards Europe.
When we talk about an open world and globalism, we can hardly judge those who build roads and bridges. In this "clash of civilizations" the strong will survive, but also those who have the ability to adapt. We are not powerful, but are we adapting as well as we should?/ Pamphlet
