Albania is among those countries where religious coexistence and harmony is an example throughout the world. Although there are different points of view if it is about harmony, tolerance or simple religious indifference.
However, while we enjoy this national value of the harmony of religious communities as a whole, there is a huge gap between the religious and the secular.
Are we tolerant of the secular?
Are religious practitioners tolerant of free speech and dissent?
Not always... without question, both those who believe and those who do not have very fanatical elements in their beliefs.
This clash has occasionally been developed on Albanian screens by journalists, religious practitioners, or commentators who share different opinions about religion.
This religious and cultural diversity has not always ended in social peace as it should have. Although it must be said that this can only be seen in certain individuals.
The concrete case is the well-known journalist and publicist Mr. Kastriot Myftaraj, who tragically ended his life on July 7 by throwing himself from the fourth floor of the apartment where he lived.
Due to his controversial views on religion, the death of journalist and analyst Kastriot Myftaraj has been one of the most discussed events during the last two days.
Besides his close friends, co-workers, colleagues, even ordinary people who respected what Mr. Myftaraj represented, have expressed their condolences for his premature but tragic death. However, just as his entire media presence with his pen and his words was noisy, unfortunately, his departure from this world was so noisy.
Known for his conspiracy theories, to some extent and radical but always argued, his death as rarely in the Albanian opinion has surprisingly made many people happy, especially those who once felt "attacked" by the free speech of Kastriot Myftaraj.
Muslim believers have felt attacked from time to time by his theories about the Muslim religion and have seen his suicide as a punishment from God.
However, let's stop at God, at Religion, at what Kastriot Myftaraj himself anathematized.
Precisely from people of religion, from those who preach the word of God every day, the good, the right, the truth, the divine...rivers of joy poured out on social networks for the death of Myftaraj.
As rarely in the cultural and religious history of the Albanian nation, a Hoxha stops them from expressing their condolences, and even "threatens" his followers and those who believe in what he represents, with "BLOCK".
So Hoxha Ahmed Kalaja has ordered his followers not to express condolences and he even warns that someone else may have the same fate whom he calls in his comment "lepirsi"
"The dream remained unfulfilled...
Arafat's dinner news is called this...
I have God as a witness that I believed that he will be an example for the mockers of religion before him.
He has called for genocide against the indigenous Albanian Muslims, that they should flee to Turkey or the Arabs?!
He even advocated any form of cleansing against them... He even quoted the Koran in the prosecution...
It is not allowed to insult the dead, so keep yourself, it shows a lack of level, but you can make dua alaihi!
Don't let anyone beg for mercy, or tell us condolences that they will suffer, BLOCK! Warning, I'm afraid that even "Lëpirsi" who deals with the Koran will have the same fate", wrote Kalaja on Facebook, among other things.
The singer Gold Ag, who in recent years is also known as a devout practitioner of the Islamic religion, commented on Ahmed Kalaja's post, making fun of the journalist's death.
"Thank goodness I didn't leave him for tomorrow, habib, because his kind would have thought he was good after he left (died) on Friday", was the singer's comment on Hoxha's post.
Meanwhile, this comment was followed by another response from Ahmed Kalaja himself, who wrote to the rapper Gold Ag: "Wherever your mind goes, dangerous, but you are also a habib".
While Elvis Naçi, another Hoxha, benefactor and one who conveys the word of God, seems relieved by the death of a man like Kastriot Myftaraj since the latter has spoken against him but also mosques or other holy places for Muslim believers such as Mecca and Medina.
"There was a journalist who spoke badly of cults, of belief in God. I am probably one of the main ones he has insulted, written all kinds of false accusations. But a day is coming when we will go to God and these events should make us more careful. That one day we will give up and go to the great God.
As for the things he said to me, today I am telling everyone that I am halal. But the problem with him will be due to the denial of God and the words he spoke against Mecca, Medina, Mosques and things that are religious", says Elvis Naçi, among other things.
They are not ordinary people who do not know what they are saying, but they are people with full awareness, who through their religious liturgies have hundreds of people who follow them and are influenced by them.
Also, the singer Gold Ag has a public responsibility as a public figure where he has hundreds of fans who follow him.
-What message do you convey when you rejoice in the comparison of darkness to light?
- How can you enjoy the death of a human being?
Personally, I do not agree with conspiracy theories of any kind, be they political, geopolitical, religious, etc., and in this case I may not necessarily agree with the opinions of the late Kastriot Myftaraj, but still, while reading the comments of some individuals who have trusting the spiritual food such as faith and the holy word through the religious liturgy, makes me give justice to Myftaraj himself.
Today, these hoxhallars and devout believers of the Muslim religion, rejoicing over the death of the "enemy of Islam" unwittingly gave him the right, namely Kastriot Muftaraj.
Truly, these fearful comments that express joy for the death of a fellow countryman and a human spirit and a son of a mother who today escorted him to his last abode inspire fear and despair in me. It reminds me of those terrible acts of terror in Europe years ago where hundreds and thousands of innocent people were killed in the name of Allah(!)
Which prophet rejoices in death…which prophet represents death…in the name of which religion do you applaud death?
Not in the name of the prophet Muhammad nor of the prophet Jesus (Jesus Christ) who according to the scriptures dedicated their lives to the last breath to the inexhaustible source ... LIFE.
You Hoxhallars who today in the Minarets of the Mosques are speaking in the name of God and for God, for what he represents; for kindness, forgiveness, patience, love, respect... how can you rejoice in the death of a man who was not like you, who did not think like you, who did not understand the world like you?
On the vigil of Kurban Bayram, which symbolizes the day of sacrifice, where Ibrahim was tested to sacrifice his son in the name of God, you honorable Hoxhallars, you honorable believers, you were tested by God.
The "self-sacrifice" of a man who chose to escape from this world is mocked, manifested and applauded. You were not able even in the name of God to forgive, so I don't know if God will forgive you because this time you know what you have done...although God's Mercy is infinite!
Happy Kurban Bayram!
