No to Unified Greater Albania ... It Will Be Viscously Anti-Islam

New survey shows that most Albanians in the Balkans dream of being united into one state, though few expect this to happen any time soon.

The poll, conducted by Gallup in cooperation with the European Fund for the Balkans, showed that 62 per cent of respondents in Albania, 81 per cent in Kosovo and 51.9 per cent of respondents in Macedonia supported the formation of a Greater Albania.

The vast majority of respondents, over 95 per cent overall in the three countries, said that if such a Greater Albania was created, it should include Albania, Kosovo and part of Macedonia.

Support is much lower for the union only of Albania and Kosovo. Only 33.7 per cent of respondents in Albania approved of this solution, as did 29.2 per cent in Kosovo and a mere 7.2 per cent in Macedonia.

Most respondents said they doubted that the unification of all ethnic Albanians in the region would happen any time soon.

A century of shifting borders has left ethnic Albanians scattered across Kosovo, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia and Greece.

Although the idea of uniting Albanians into a single state continues to be popular, Albanian political leaders in the region are wary of raising the issue of border changes.

The virus of Anti-Islam intense hatred will spread from Albania proper the hub of Muslim haters to other places that are not that infected.

Barack Obama Olive Branch of Peace to the Islamic World Contrasting with the War Like of Republicans Haters

White House planners initially considered Indonesia as the location for Barack Obama's much-anticipated speech to the Muslim world, which he eventually gave in Cairo in June last year. Expectations then were probably impossibly high, and his address in Jakarta today did not get the same dramatic billing. Seventeen months on the mood has soured and polls show that his popularity is in decline across the globe as well as at home.

Yet the resonant vow that "America is not and never will be at war with Islam" is one that bears repeating in the wake of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan and faltering attempts to secure an Israeli-Palestinian peace.

Obama went for candour, admitting that US relations with "Muslim communities" – a carefully chosen phrase – had frayed over many years but he repeated his resonant Cairo call for a "new beginning that creates a path for us to move beyond our differences".
