Konfrontimet e tilla ndikuan që në kontest të Gadishullit Ballkanik, gjatë shekullit të XIX, gjithnjë e më tepër të përdoret fjala " Ballkanizëm " , per te treguar një zonë të dezintegruar gjeografike në të cilën shtetët e vogla dhe të sapoçliruara nga Perandoria Osmane, zhvillonin politika ekspansioniste ndaj njëri tjetrit, ushtronin dhunë të vrazhdët mbi popujt e tyre dhe nxitnin konflikte të ndryshme ndëretnike në Ballkan. Kështu gjatë dy shekujve të fundit, Ballkani me të drejtë është trajtuar nga bota perëndimore, si një zonë problematike e Evropës 2. Pas pлrfundimit tл konflikteve etnike tл shekullit XX, shtetлt e Ballkanit, tл pлrkrahura nga Bashkimi Evropian dhe SHBA-tл, kanл filluar ti kundлrshtojnл praktikat e kaluara tл konfrontimit nл mes veti duke i ndryshuar ato me politika aktive tл miqлsisл dhe bashkлpunimit me njлri tjetrin si vlera fondamentale evropiane. Qл nga ajo kohл shtetet e Ballkanit gjithnjл e mл hapur kanл filluar ta kundлrshtojnл edhe emлrtimin e tyre si " shtete ballkanike " , me arsyetim se nл shtetet e tyre nuk ka mл konflikte etnike ose kriza politike dhe se atje janл instaluar tл drejta dhe ndлrtuar institucione funksionale sipas modeleve evropiane 3. Moldavia dhe pjesa evropiane e Turqisë Nл asnjл rajon tjetлr tл Evropлs nuk ka mл shumл popuj, gjuhл, kultura dhe besime fetare sa nл Ballkan dhe Evropлn Jugperлndimore.

Die Möglichkeit der Kenntnis dieser Beziehungen war lange Zeit aufgrund der politischen Faktoren beschränkt. Albanien hatte sich als atheistisch deklariert, und aus diesem Grunde wurde jeder Diskussion über Glaubensfragen, die nicht mit der stalinistischen Theorie in Einklang stand, mit wilder Ablehnung begegnet. Kosova war kein unabhängiger und autonomer Staat, für dessen Schaffung dieses Land heutzutage lebt, und infolgedessen wurden auch dessen Kultur und Geschichte im Rahmen einer größeren politischen Einheit, des sogenannten Jugoslawiens, gesehen, das in Wirklichkeit die albanischen Religionen und die albanische Kultur so darstellte, wie es seiner hegemonistischen Perspektive und den damit verbundenen Interessen genehm war.
Unter dem Gesichtspunkt der Jahrhunderte alten religiösen Trennung in Katholiken, Orthodoxe und Mohammedaner ließ das albanische Volk unter keinen Umständen zu, auch nur das Geringste von seinem nationalen Charakter zu verlieren, und es bietet heute ein lebendiges Beispiel für interkonfessionelle Toleranz, für Verständnis und Harmonie.
Die Albaner auf beiden Seiten der Grenze, die das Schicksal der Berliner Mauer erfahren muss, möchten auch durch das religiöse Element den Völkern Europas mitteilen, dass „wir keine Fremden sind, sondern Beziehungen zueinander haben, einander sehr nahe stehen und FREUNDE UND BÜRGER EUROPAS SIND.“

These circumstances, also characterized by the failure of the state apparatus, the high rate of corruption, the degradation of the public health system, and the destruction of the public education system, have all enabled the unhindered activity of foreign extremist organizations in Kosovo. During this time, all Balkan countries were captured by similar social, economic and political crises and conflicts. These circumstances were sufficient for a foreign extremist organization, deployed in Bosnia, Albania or Macedonia, and through the ethnic ties and the common Islamic tradition that prevails in this compacted geographic region, to expand its destructive activity in other parts of the Western Balkans.

These circumstances, coupled with the rapid decline of communism as an inspirational ideology, have led to an increase in the rate of corruption, the destruction of the education system, the degradation of the public health system, and the disruption of many family structures. Under these social circumstances, there have been two events of crucial importance for the presentation of Islamist extremism in Kosovo.

Unfortunately, recently, the traditional model of religious harmony and tolerance that has been cultivated for centuries in Kosovo has begun to be attacked. After the war in Kosovo, started the uncontrolled arrival of some "humanitarian" organizations in the region and the departure of dozens of Kosovar youths for religious education began in some Islamic Middle East centers. Some people and asociation from the Near East, came as "missionaries" began their subversive activity in promoting Islamist extremism and spreading a radical ideology in all inhabited areas with Muslim populations in the Balkans. The risks of terrorist attacks by Islamist extremists in Kosovo and the countries of the EU still seem to be limited. However, if the political and social crisis escalates in Kosovo and the conflict in the Middle East is exacerbated, which could also lead to a polarization of the public's attitudes toward Islam, the danger of terrorist attacks by Islamist extremist can't be ruled out any more in both to Kosovo and the EU countries.

In the Balkans, organized crime is also tantamount to a main obstacle to the European integration of the region. The permanent influence of organized crime on the state structures, the cooperation between different criminal organizations and especially their collaboration with some extremist groups impact political stability in an extremely negative way. The states in the Balkans have recognized the dangers for their peoples constituted by organized crime and have already taken a number of required legal, institutional and political measures in order to be able to successfully combat organized crime. However, organized crime still constitutes the main risk to the new democratic states in the Balkans in spite of these measures. For that reason, combating organized crime may not treated just as the task or responsibility of one single state but it needs to be...

The need for the establishment of such a political entity was also reviewed in the magazine of the Islamic Community of Kosovo “Takvim”. According to these ideas and demands, so far, in Kosovo, some Islamist political subjects have been established, aimed at changing the new democratic power that was established with the help of the international community in Kosovo, with the intention of establishing an Islamic power and acting according to the laws of Sharia and the model of contemporary Islamic states.

The influence of the Roman Catholic Church collided with that of the Byzantine Orthodox Church, Islam clashed with Christianity and the geostrategic interests of the East collided with those of the West. These cultural and religious clashes on the same territory as well as the impacts of the different geostrategic interests resulted over the course of the past centuries in the development of different competitive cultures and religions sometimes opposed to each other in Kosovo. Irrespectively of this religious and cultural diversity, the Kosovar people have not been treating these ideological divides as separations of the entire nation based on a religious basis. Rather, they have been cultivating feelings of harmony, tolerance and understanding with respect to members of other faiths. But unfortunately, the traditional model of harmony and inter...

According to this Albanian writer “after the outbreak of the anti-Ottoman uprising of 1911, about 1000 young boys from different Muslim families of Shkoder city, waving Turkish and Arab flags and screaming ‘All ahu Akbar’ and ‘We want father dovleton’ motivated by Islamic religious ideologies, have been voluntarily recruited in the Turkish formations and have gone to suppress the revolt of Albanian insurgents in Malesia e Madhe.”
