1913年以来、アルバニアの州が存在に入って来たときに、ヨーロッパの唯一のイスラム教の州はChristianizeに人口を向ける劇毒性のキリスト教の宣教師組織によって絶えず攻撃されていた。 Christianizationの最も悪い波は1991年後に共産主義の政体が国で倒れたときに、あった。 宗教および文化的な下部組織でイスラム教を非常にひどく破壊した共産主義者はdeIslamizedアルバニアのChristianizationのためのall the必要な条件を作成した。 Miranda Vickersが彼女の本で指摘するように アルバニア: 無秩序からバルカン半島のアイデンティティへの、90年代のアルバニアは目標がオットマンバルカン半島の無くなったイスラム教の人口に福音を伝えることだった多くのキリスト教の根本主義者の組織のための戦う地面になった。

クリスチャンは侵入されたアルバニアが多くの西ヨーロッパの国と同様、アメリカのキリスト教ベルトからのアルバニアにポンプでくんだキリスト教のプロテスタントのキリストのキャンパスのクルセーダー、Jehovahの証人、アドベンチスト、モルモン教徒、Presbyteriansおよび他のすべてのタイプから及んだことを発注する。 但しevangelizationの分野の主要なプレーヤーはアルバニアの隣りにちょうどあるキリスト教のずっと古い正統およびカトリック教の中心である: ギリシャおよびイタリア。

キリスト教の組織がキリストの宗教でアルバニア人を変えるために使用する方法、憎悪の広がりへの歴史の本の書直すことからの範囲、 -- 反イスラム教の文献-政治恐喝および各戸ごとの説教にギリシャのとどまる許可証を、得たいと思うアルバニア人のための正統派的信仰への強制転換への…。 Edwin Jacqueのようなプロテスタントの宣教師はアルバニアのChristianizedの歴史でカトリック教および正教会はいくつかの公立学校、大学、ラジオおよびTVプログラムを動かすが、ベストセラーの本を書いた。

キリスト教のproselytismはアルバニアで作動する西部大使館から政治サポートを受け取る。 これは米国の、ギリシャおよびイタリア大使館の政治ではっきり見ることができる。 アメリカ大使館では、多くの場合上の仕事をそこに得る人々はA.のようなアルバニアの背教者、である。 N. 最も近い顧問は米国の大使へであるかだれ。 After denouncing Islam and working for Christian Protestants, he ― as many other converts ― become the most trusted adviser of the American ambassadors, and is a person who penetrates every meeting and backside deals that the powerful embassy carries with Albanian politicians and politics.

However the politics of the employment are not the only example. Other examples of US embassy’s religious propaganda can be seen in the organization of morning prayers that the embassy does time after time with Albanian politicians, ministers and the president with the help of top US preachers. But apart from the Americans, the Italians and Greeks also have a high profile in the support of Christian propaganda in the country. Thus, while the Italians have in many cases become the spokeperson of the Vatican in Tirana ― as the example of 23 October 2005 showed ― when the Italian ambassador organized the “Mother Theresa” marathon, the Greeks have always stood behind Archbishop Yanolatos and his aggressive propaganda against Islam in the country.

In places like in Korça, the Greek consulates are even built in the premises of the Orthodox Churches. The Greek embassy in every ceremony it organizes in the country has always the Greek bishops in its back and often it sends warnings to the Albanian state about the rights of its Greek Church in the country. The same can be said about the Italians who have in many cases sponsored building of Churches, sponsoring plenty of catholic religious programs and supporting through their institutions the propagation of the Catholic culture. In their embassy in Tirana, when one goes to obtain a visa, one can see how the walls of the embassy are hung with the portraits of Vatican’s saints.

Christian missionaries in Albania are superior in comparison to the Muslim and Bektashi communities of Islam. In my article “Albanians and Islam, Between Existence and Extinction”, I gave a list of what they posses in the country. Bygetting the yearly budgets of millions of US dollars, they have built churches and open Christian centers in almost every town and village of the country. Their huge budgets allow them to have even helicopters at their disposition and enable them, in many cases, reach even the most remote areas of Albania which cannot be accessed even by the government of Tirana itself.

The Christianization policies in Albania reached their peak in 2002, when Albania, finally after 600 years of Muslim history had its Prime Minister, President, Minister of Interior, Chief Spy, Mayor of Tirana, Chief Librarian, Chief Judge, Chief Academician, Chief State Controller, Chief Historian and so on, as Christians. The rule of 20% Christians upon the rest of the 80% Muslim Albanians is ongoing even today. Thus, Albanians at present, apart from having most of their major rulers from the orthodox backgrounds in the political and cultural sphere, are faced with a cultural invasion from the Catholic propaganda.

Since some people believed that Mother Teresa was an Albanian, her cult of personality is sponsored aggressively in the country. Albanian schoolchildren are forced by the ministries of Education and Culture to organize mass rallies in her memory. Those masses are sponsored by the Vatican and Italian embassy. Apart from this, by using their influence on the Albanian state, the catholic propaganda has managed to push the politicians of Albania to put her name in every corner of the country. Thus the only airport of Albania is named after the recently made Catholic saint; `Mother Teresa’, the main boulevard in Tirana is named “Mother Teresa”, the main hospital in Tirana is named “Mother Teresa”, while many other streets, clinics, schools, universities, etc. are named after Catholic saints throughout the country. Examples of these names are the Don Bosko street, Padre Luigi Monti Clinic, The Lady of the Good Council University, etc.

The politics of forced conversions of Albanians into the Catholic sphere was seen even on 19th October 2005, when all schoolchildren of Albania were forced to observe as a state holiday, the day when Vatican beatified mother Theresa. On the 23rd of October, the Italian embassy in Tirana, in cooperation with the Ministry of Culture, closed all the streets of Muslim Tirana, since the Pope had issued a “bulla” for the subjected Albanians to organize the “Mother Teresa people’s march” in the streets of Albania’s capital. In 9 November 2005, the Orthodox president of Albania, Alfred Moisiu, declared at a meeting in the Oxford Union that all Albanians were Christians, and that Islam is nothing but a foreign religion in Albania.
