  • Bektashism is a Sufi mystic Islamic order that was founded in present-day Turkey in the 13th century.
    Bektashi fortunes rose and fell in parallel with the Ottoman Empire and Bektashis were exiled to the Balkans, Albania and Egypt.
    History repeated itself in the 1920s when the new Turkish republic outlawed all Sufi orders, including Bektashi Sufism. Then, in 1967, Albania's leader Enver Hoxha banned all religions, including Bektashism. Yet, somehow, the order has survived and now claims some seven million followers worldwide.
    On a personal journey exploring his Bektashi roots, an Albanian man discovers that his faith has a shocking history which includes purges, expulsions, sacked monasteries and child slavery.

      It's just general culture. Furthermore, there is always the morbidity that in Europe there are countries with a Muslim majority such as Albania, Bosnia and Kosovo, or the republic of Tatarstan within European Russia. It is something that breaks the stereotype of "Christian Europe" and that causes a lot of curiosity in people.
      The same thing happens in the Middle East with Lebanon but in reverse. Many people are surprised that in an Arab country half of the population is Christian, and that generates tremendous morbid curiosity among Western people.
      Also, this is the Al Jazeera channel, which belongs to the United Arab Emirates, a hardcore Islamic country, and that is why they always focus on the issue of Islam around the world.

    It is imortant to emphasize here that when we say "Albanian" in the context of ethnic Albaniam identity and culture, we do not mean just Albanians as in citizens of the modern country of Albania, but all ethnic Albanians altogether. In that sense, one should not ascribe Albanianess (rather than Islam or Christianity or any other culture) as a primary identity only to Albanians of Albania, but to all ethnic Albanians anywhere (including Albanians of Kosovo, Macedonia and Montenegro).

      Now you tell me which of these two options is more fake.
      A. (Albanian)-One's own language (which is not identical to at least 3 or 4 other peoples' language subject to constant political and identity disputes). One's own specifuc and recognizable traditional clothing (white traditional suite with skull cap -Plis or Pilos), which os notnshared by 3-4 other 'people's'. One's own codes (Besa-Code of Honor, Code of Leke Dukagjini). One's own history (we do not have worry too much about what happened in Arabia, Russia or Vatican -although we do have prominent scholars in all three Abrahamic religions)....etc etc etc,
      or option
      B. (Central aouth slavs - (Bosniaks/Croats/Montenegrins/Serb), who speaknfour dialects of one and the same languahe formerly known as serbo-croatian, where the only difference between these peoplea is religion. You take out the abrahamic religion fro them (Christianity and Islam) and you literaly can't tell them apart.
      They took abrahamic religions as their foundation of identity...and they hold so toght to these three Abrhamic religions as if they invented them....
      Sp, which one does your logic tell younis more fake -Apbanian or Ce tral South Slavic (Bosniak/Croat/Montenefrin/Serb)?
      Yet, in slite of all that No Albanian will ever call any nation 'fake', for two reasons:
      1. Albanian does not bekieve any nation os fake (bcs Albanian bekievs everyone is e titled to their Rights and Dignity),
      2. Even if they would think that some nations are not as original, they would never call it fame bcs it is uncivilized to do so...
      Again, learn something about Albanians (especially about their Codes) before you judge. I know you might have made ypur judgement based on bakers from Kosovo, but remeber that there so so many more Albanians in ypir place Bosnia (notable families like Binak, Busatlija, Dzeko, Fazlija, Gegaj/Gegic, Golos, Gurovic, Hot/a, Ibrulj, Karkin, Kodro, Kuc, Kustro, Kolos, Malevic/Malovic, Musa, Pala/Palevic, Pljakic, Rokic, Skrijelj, Spirtovic, Taci, Toskic, Uk, etc etc etc) but you can't identify them as Apbanians bcs your mind is stuck in antiqated stereotypes crested by shallow minda and exopansionist serb propaganda from the last century.
      Tonlearn more about Bosnians of Albanian origin read the book by Enver Imamovic called "Porijeklo stanovnistva BiH"....Learn more brother..."Read" as it says in the holly books

      Albania is strongly secular because the communist dictator Enver Hoxha banned religion there. It killed the religious spirit of that country. He closed all the mosques and churches
      Add to that the fact that the Christian and atheist population of Albania denies Islam in their country since, according to them, it makes them look like Turks or Arabs and distances them from the "Christian boys' club of Europe", so some young Albanians from Muslim families abandon that religion due to social pressure to be accepted by the rest of Europe
      I know Albania. It is a very conflictive country, but not because of religion, but because of the issue of mafias, drugs, poverty that pushes young people to follow bad paths.
      However, they are the friendliest people in Eastern Europe.
      While Russians, Poles, Hungarians, etc. are always serious and have a bad face, Albanians are very friendly and warm, as well as humble.

      @@stevenv6463 Afghanistan was also communist. But all the communists could not defeat Islam there. I think Afghanistan should be the most staunchly religious country in the Islamic world. Although Afghans are not Arabs, for me they are more religious than Arabs, even Saudis.
      In the ex-Soviet Islamic republics of Central Asia the same thing happened as in Albania with the prohibition of Islam. And those countries are not very religious. However, compared to Albania, Central Asia is much more religious (for example, wearing the veil is common in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, which is not the case in Albania).

    I respect bektashism, i even believed i might be of bektashi origin but i am not. Maybe it is time that foreign scholars actually study more about albanians before they jump to conclusions about jannisaries, myths, etc. The thing is that religion in Albania was not institutionalized until the start of 20th century. Some facts in the video are right, some are not. Therefore, i believe the confusion about different relgions present in Albania is due to lack of proper institutions.

      Do not know about the Bektashis, but as far as I knao as an ethnic Albanian (with roots both with Albanian and other Albanian inhabited lands in the Balkans - Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro), mos Albanians have traditionally primarily satisfied their needs to belong and have an identity NOT by leaning on Abrhamic religions (like south slavs) but rather on their own cuulture, Albanian.

    My heart goes out to that Arabic/Albanian brother as he ponders his origins, not being cocksure of who or what he is, but rather taking many things into consideration - historical realities that very possibly might address those nagging questions that those of us who come from this part of the world have ( as well as the intelligence to brood on all of this ) : "Who ( or 'what' ) am I?" 600 years of Ottoman rule - that's a long time; & with all the wars & various armies criss-crossing the Eastern Mediterranean, as well as certain policies enacted by Turkish sultans & other rulers, variously coming & going, who really knows their origins? Reducing that question to common denominators such as native soil, mother tongue, & 'the faith of one's fathers' doesn't always tell the whole story. To this brother, I say 'selamünaleyküm' & 'Hü, dost!'
