The plankton of Ketmans

The dormant violation of human rights of Muslims in a country with 93% of Muslim population



Herein is a response to five quivering questions that bother normal mortals in Kosova whose can not articulate their concern with the liquid eloquence as they do in their state of contemplation?



1. What is the position of Islam in Kosova?

It's tragic to rise up this question in very delicate political circumstances of Kosova when it shall determine its ontological existence. In quinta essentia - the lack of faith in a leadership is the primary symptom of its failure, since historically have been proved that the artificial states existed for very short period of time.

Islam in Kosova is in the position to give much more thanks to its' potential and inherited values but the risk from puritan infiltrations (read: Semitic) of some branches that are exposed to Muslim believer in Kosova are undressing Islam and deny it's complementary beauty of Muslim Phenomenon.

A Muslim believer is a bit confused since there's no legitimate religious Institution that is registered in a new Kosovan reality and its clandestine institution without legitimacy; with such a Theologian faculty which is not in the frame of Ministry of Education. These parallel institutions are creating more mass than order since they produce crippled cadre with unrefined spirituality and echolalics.

Islam is almost absent from the public life since media on Islam is talking only with the language of hatred and only then when it comes to denigration. Albanian/Kosovan Muslim is inferior and unaware of his spiritual values he possesses therefore I like the idea of late Alija Izetbegovic that Muslim should undergo Islamization, pointing to ethical values, scientific and Islamization of knowledge as a concept of late Dr. Ismail Rajji Al Faruqi from International Institute of Muslim Thought in Virginia, USA.

Imagine a population which majority is Muslim to build a cathedral. Why not? since as human rights activist I believe that Kosova should also have a synagogue where the Jews may pray in their temple which are present enough as international community in Kosova with unsatisfactorily interference with Kosovan population in order to learn from latent Kosovan ecumenism. But since this is not happening to be us are witnesses of spiritual level being poor. For instance the Evangelical community faces the problems either by Catholic or Muslim community since within their orders they have converts from both communities and consequently the bear a diverse ignoring; for instance a difficulties to bury their believers. Also the Sufi Community (in Dukagjini area) is neglected and frequently faces the refusals.



2. How much are Kosovan Institutions dedicated to apply Muslim Values within the system of country's social values?

Kosovan institutions legally aren't Muslim since they do not follow Muslim ethics and we are witnessing it. If our institutions would have Muslim ethical values we would not have such misuse of positions. They are also inferior to themselves to their creed so you can not find example in the world. If we consider an example from our neighbor Serbia where the Prime Minister Kostunica is a member of the Orthodox Church and the Church decides the fate of the people and makes strategy for 100 years. Also the fact of USA, the Bush case and Evangelism, the US Dollar with the famous slogan "We trust in God".

Only we are ashamed that we are Muslims only we are to regret being Muslims for this people of Iran do not lament that they abandoned Zoroastrianism neither Scandinavians left their believe in God ODIN and many other gods and convert to Christianity, neither do Christians regret to believe primarily in a Jewish god YAHWE and now they believe in Christ.



3. Should we allow the wearing of a headscarf of Muslim woman at schools and in other public institutions?

The question itself the best reflects the circumstances where Islam stands in Kosova. Today in Germany women undress their stomachs to display their growing fetus and they are proud that for few months they'll become mothers. If in this case is pride to wear a headscarf why should we ban from this fundamental right. Nobody in Kosova is disturbed having a professor in Faculty of Psychology at Public University in Prishtina who is from Israel who wears and being proud of his Yarmulka- Kippah in his head (Jewish skullcap) to honor God, nobody in Kosova neither in the world is disturbed with the Hindu Sari of Mother Teresa, nobody UN is disturbed with Sikh turban and Police uniform of UN, nobody is disturbed if a girl has piercing in tongue or ear and color her hair with several rainbow colors or have tattoo in the most erotic body parts, why should somebody be bothered with the headscarf?, if it's part of somebody's identity, in this case religious identity, and we all know that religion is one of the fundamentals of human rights.

The headscarf doesn't make Kosova a European Jamahiriya since Europe knows better then us as for what Muslims we are, since Europe faced Islam in Medieval times and now Spain as head of OSCE (The minister of Foreign Affairs Miguel Angel Morations) organizes International, against Islamophobia in Europe.



4. NGO's that deal with Muslim Issue that operates in Kosova are being focused as propagators of Islam. Is it allowed and/or is it benefactor for or damaging the Kosovan Society?

The nature of NGO is to protect the rights of citizens, COHU (rise up) is fighting corruption in Kosova, VEVTVENDOSJA (movement for Self determination) is against failed Kosovan Leadership, NËNA TËREZE (Mother Teresa) works on Humanitarian aid, War veteran Association fights for the transgressed rights of this category of people, also the NGO's that deal with Muslim issue feels that they have to protect the rights of Muslim minority therefore let us listen to them.

Regarding how much benefactor is learning about Islam I believe that is very useful, since Islam do not teach killing and stagnation; Islam was avant- garde response to Paganism and Medieval European Dark Age, Sufism was a response to Greek Philosophy etc. But we must bear in mind how it is conceived. Islam means subordination to the God's will, hence it's not a God's will to kill people but in one place Muhammad says that… the one who cures somebody has rewards as he saved the mankind therefore Palestinian Kamikaze and the Islam policy of Al Qaeda has nothing to do with the peaceful spirit of Islam. I'm bewildered why people do not read Hadith, Rumi, Ibn Arabi, Avicenna, Avveroës, Omar Khayyam, Saadi, Iqbal, Fethulah Gulen, Harun Yahya, Renë Guenon, Fritjoff Schoun, Louis Massignon, Miguel Assin Palaios, Annemarie Schiemmel, William Chittik, Kabir Helminski, but identifies Islam with Bin Laden.



5. There's opinion that these NGO's have taken the advantage from the difficult economical situation in Kosova and through certain amounts of money they influence girls and boys to embrace principals and regulations of Muslim Faith. Is this their aim or it might be only a blackmail?

This is the consequence that Kosovan Institutions do not have programs for proper education hence NGO's are here to fill this gap and they are not only these Muslim NGO's, Kosova after the war has been attacked by more than 1000 missionary organizations from world's diverse religious sects that took advantage of difficult economical circumstances. We had the case or American Professor in a Public University in Prishtina which is secular, free Bible distribution as a part of Modern American Political Thought??? I can not bring example of Kosova Albanian Professor (neither foreigner with the Muslim background) distributing free Qur'an in a secular University. Therefore here we must be careful with the double standards. We must understand that not all Americans are Bill Clinton or Madeleine Albright; neither all Arabs are Bin Laden and what makes me laughing and crying in the same time here that neither Muslims nor Catholic Albanians are reading Khalil Gibran just because he is an Arab regardless of the fact that he is Maronite Christian.

In the very end Kosova shouldn't lament for the converts since it does not need the Ketmans, hence I consider that this trend shouldn't be frightening to nobody since at the end everybody will find its golden macadam. The most important is the respect for all present religion perpetrations in a free manner, legitimate, institutional then we can see the real face of this society if we want to create a democratic society with equal opportunities for all and listen to the concerns of people and advocate for their transgressed rights.

Actually Kosova is superficial plankton of Ketmans.

Greetings fellow blogger,

My friend, there is no room for debate with the likes of Fe(h)mi Cakolli; the quixotification of these individuals indicates a whole lot about the principles they bear.

Yeah, the "demonisation of the Other is not a sufficient basis for any kind of decent politics" but tell that to every blind-folded Kosovangelist, our very own '700' joint!
