Last night’s debate on Klan Kosova, moderated by director Baton Haxhiu, focused on reasons behind the fighting of some Kosovars alongside ISIS in Syria, the recent threats that made ISIS members against Kosovo and possible options of preventing ISIS activities in Kosovo. Skender Perteshi, from the Kosovo Centre for Security Studies, said the Islamic State is a threat to the whole world and that its growth is a result of the failure to combat dangerous ideologies. Perteshi said that certain Islamic humanitarian organizations came to Kosovo immediately after the war and preached forms of Islam that were different from the traditional Islam preached in Kosovo. Haxhi Shala, member of the Kosovo Assembly and chairperson of the parliamentary committee on the Kosovo Intelligence Agency, talked about the departure of Kosovars to Syria to fight alongside ISIS and said that the responsibility for this falls on Kosovo’s institutions and the international community. “After the war, they [the international organizations] allowed various non-governmental organizations to operate in Kosovo and these same organizations preached about Islam. Lectures were given by all kinds of people and we do not know if they had the right theological education,” Shala added. Arian Xhezairi, a social sciences scholar, argued that the people of Kosovo should not be scared by the recent threats coming from ISIS. “In the last couple of years, ISIS said it would attack Iran, the United States and now Kosovo. But it hasn’t done so. We should be more relaxed,” Xhezairi said. In the discussion panel was also Imam Enis Rama, who was arrested by the Kosovo Police on the suspicion of spreading radical ideologies and then released. “I used to tell young people through my lectures that joining ISIS is a negative thing,” Rama said. Vedat Sahiti, from the Islamic Community of Kosovo (BIK), said it was a great misfortune that “some of our brothers have decided to join ISIS, because that is a road of no return”. Sahiti further argued that the rural areas in Kosovo are most affected by dangerous ideologies.
