The paper’s editor-in-chief, Arbana Xharra, writes that the killing of five Macedonian youths last year is being used to portray Albanians in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia as “dangerous and hardline Islamists”. “Orchestrated Albanians, instead of proving the opposite, are openly protesting in defense of the religious issue. The presence of flags with Arabic slogans in Albanian protests and chants that ‘Islam will dominate the world’ are used as additional arguments to the Macedonian conclusion that this is not a national issue, but rather a religious one. Such sights do service only to Macedonian Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski and all those who want to send a message to the West that Albanians are allegedly against the West. Moreover, our opponents want to tell Europe and the United States of America that they were wrong to rescue the Albanian people and to claim that we were not grateful to our international friends. Anti-Western groups among Albanians are contributing most to this anti-Albanian cause.”
