Desde 1913, quando o estado de Albânia veio na existência, o único estado muçulmano de Europa foi atacado continuamente pelas organizações Christian virulent do missionário que apontam a Christianize sua população. As ondas as mais más de Christianization realizaram-se após 1991, quando o regime comunista desmoronou no país. Os comunistas, que destruíram o Islam muito mal em seu infrastructure religioso e cultural, criaram todas as condições needed para o Christianization de de-Islamized Albânia. Como Miranda Vickers indica em seu livro Albânia: De Anarchy a uma identidade Balkan, Albânia dos 1990's transformou-se uma terra battling para muitas organizações fundamentalistas Christian, cujo o alvo era evangelize as populações muçulmanas perdidas do Ottoman Balcãs.

O cristão requisita que Albânia invadida variou dos cruzados do Campus do Christ, da testemunha de Jehovah, dos Adventists, dos Mormons, dos Presbyterians e dos todos tipos restantes de Protestants Christian que bombearam acima em Albânia da correia Christian de América as well as muitos ocidentais - países europeus. Entretanto os jogadores principais no campo do evangelization foram os centros Orthodox e Catholic velhos do Christianity que se encontram porta seguinte justa a Albânia: em Greece e em Italy.

Os métodos que as organizações Christian usam para albanêses se convertendo na religião de Christ, escala de reescrever dos livros da história, à propagação do ódio -- Literatura anti-Islamic - a conversão forçada no orthodoxy para os albanêses que querem começar uma licença permanecendo em Greece, aos blackmails políticos e à porta a preaching da porta. Os missionários Protestant tais como Edwin Jacque escreveram mesmo um livro do bestseller na história de Christianized de Albânia, quando as igrejas Catholic e Orthodox funcionarem um número escolas públicas, universidades, rádios e de programas da tevê.

O proselytism Christian recebe a sustentação política mesmo dos embassies ocidentais que se operam em Albânia. Isto pode ser visto claramente na política dos embassies dos E.U., os gregos e os italianos. No embassy americano, em muitos povos dos casos que começam os trabalhos superiores há uns renegades Albanian, como o A. N. quem é o conselheiro o mais próximo aos embaixadores dos E.U. 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.
