Albanian Fustanella

"fustanella" (kind of a kilt), which used to be widely used all over West Balkan, in particular in Illyria and Epirus. There is also archeological evidence from an item found in Maribor, Slovenia in the 5th century BC, followed by the figure of a man on a grave stone of the 3d century in Smokthine (Mesaplik, Vlora), a terracot in the 4th century, found in Durres etc. Besides the "fustanelle", we may mention one of the oldest garments for women, which is a kind of suit with a long shirt, a long front and a similar back. In these regions, they also mention the Illyrian "dalmatika", which used to be a long shirt with sleeves, like the one worn by the master carved on a grave stone found in Drashovica, Vlora, dating in the 2nd century. Even on another gravestone of 2nd or 3d century, found in Korca, there are to smiths wearing "dalmatika". Another ancient Illyrian element is the plain local "opinga", (kind of mocassina). Besides, the unity of the common anthropological characteristics from the Illyrians to the Southern/North Albanians of nowadays, is an indicator to the bio-communicative continuity and a reason to use the anthropological data as historical source.

Also one point about islam : I understand that sufism is the dominant form of islam in the Balkans, including Albania. And sufism is as close as islam can get to pantheism. Because mysticism is the sentiment of undifferentiated being. Whereas the mosaic cults are ontologically radically dualist. This explains why the sufis are so often persecuted by islamic authorities over the world. albanians should drop islam and be true ontic pantheists, for instance.

I have not to give replyes to someone who ask and state non sense things . Shoud wee consider Mars(planet) European or not? If you want to be European dont drink cold water! Why Eurpeans kill to many Europeans during ww2 , Have they to be called Europeans today!

[AlcesteEIL]

Listen what I'm saying is very simple : if albanians are pro-Europeans, drop islam, stop your alliance with turks, arabs and americans, and make peace with your neighbours ; and if you wont, it will be proof that you have betrayed Europe, that you are selfish, alienated, and a nuisance, and you will have to be obliterated (at least the albanian muzzes, that is).

I would by far prefer the first option.

[alketux]

Who have an aliance with Arabs ? Serbs have !(remember the time they sell guns to Iraqi etc when Sadam was under embargo) Wee are not in war with Turks and have more comercial interest and influences from Italy than all the rest of countries . Wee are in peace with our neighbours. Are you crasy ? Serbs only made 5 wars in Balkan against civilised European countries ! Anyway this is your distorted reality as i said abstraction questions can have a reply! Be more concrete on what you are asking!
