Political Religion

Ertan,

I dont feel much like rebuttling with you but i want to asure you something; In Kosovo, most of the people are not muslim as such, as the percentage of people who respect 5 pillars of Islam is very small, and because of political reasons.

I just can not stand people who read only one book in their entire life even if that is muslim book or christian or jewish.

The problem remains evident that many people can not practice religion as they would like to but this number is not majority but a small minority of people who would like to live in a lifestyle like in Iran and I am sorry but this is not possible. Not because I dont want nor because Governmnet doesnt want but because of many other factors that neither Kosovo can decide upon.

As for my information, I want to tell you that I dont only get information from newspapers, but I read newspapers. I get informations before they get published in the newspapers...than when the news is for everybody...is no longer a news to me...but I am from Skenderaj and I know that you are lying. Lying is very punishable in Islam as you are aware I hope.

Let us discuss here conflict problems rather than discuss about religion freedom that is more available in Kosovo than in Arabia where people are beaten up by Religion Police.

The concept of freedom of religion is very oftenly misunderstood and misinterpreted by people in the forementioned context. Nor Government or any other agency is obliged by any kind of law to provide you with a mosque in your neighbourhood...but you should go wherever the mosque is...your freedom ends where my freedom starts...this is a golden rule...

True muslim would go to school even without a scarf cover...because of simple reason: IT is more important to go to school than to have the scarf...also by Quran...the first word which came down to the Prophet was "Read, Learn, Study"...and in a much later stage the coverface thing was invented....
