Re: What do u think about albanians??
In history the other day (Roman History) we were looking at Trajans conquest of Dacia, and everyone started bashing Albania for no reason.
Tbh though ive hardly heard of it.
Re: What do u think about albanians??
They've got a cool flag, probably the most medieval-looking one in europe. Other than that I don't know.

The country, Albania, I don't really know much about.. Serb and Albanian fights, or something?
However, I know a Albanian since 5+ years back. He's a nice fella and such, but he's quicktempered when someone is picking on him. He learnt our a big part of our language, Swedish, in two months aswell.. rep for that.
It's a conspiracy!

Oh, it is also the most heavily fortified country in the world.

The Simpsons episode the Crepes of wrath and Norman Wisdom are what spring to mind when Albania is mentioned to me.

They seem pretty cool. A good Muslim ally of the US, along with Kosovo destroying the stereotype that Muslims hate America.
Also, I've read that US soldiers in KFOR say good things about Kosovoian women, and Kosovo is made up of Albanians so I guess that would apply to Albania too.

Re: What do u think about albanians??
As speaking as someone who has albanian blood running through his veins.. Just one word:
watch out for our temper...
( I believe albanians will excuse me for me having typed "we" claiming heritage,which in my opinion is rightfully so,evaluating the bloodlines on my mother's side)

Re: What do u think about albanians??
I don't really have any thoughts regarding the Albanians. But since they are infact allied with the west, they can hardly be the terrorist type. Hmm... or can they? Maybe they are just infiltrating the west, to help their Al-Qaida friends...
Also, Albania has a kickass flag (obviously).
You're thinking of Transylvania, which is not a country but a region.
That can be applied to quite many nationalities. Here in Sweden the Finns are seen to have a quick temper for instance.

Re: What do u think about albanians??
Muslim ally?
- (Source) WikiAlbania was the first and only Atheist state in the world during Enver Hoxha's rule. The majority of Albanians today are either atheists or agnostics. According to an official US Government Report [1]: "No reliable data were available on active participation in formal religious services, but estimates ranged from 25 to 40 percent.", leaving 60 to 75 percent of the population non-religious.[2][3][4]
The country does not have a history of religious extremism and takes pride in the harmony that exists across religious traditions and practices. Religious pragmatism continued as a distinctive trait of the society and interreligious marriage has been very common throughout the centuries, in some places even the rule. There is a strong unifying cultural identity, where Muslims and Christians see themselves as Albanian before anything else. This has been solidified historically by the common experience of struggling to protect their culture in the face of various outside conquerors.
A Northern Albanian intellectual and poet, Pashko Vasa (1825-1892), made the trenchant remark, later co-opted by the totalitarian state, that "Churches and mosques you shall not heed / The religion of Albanians is Albanism" (Gheg Albanian: "Mos shikoni kisha e xhamia / Feja e shqyptarit âsht shqyptaria").
The reason Albania is a US ally is Kosovo.
The common culture of a tribe is a sign of its inner cohesion. But tribes are vanishing from the modern world, as are all forms of traditional society. Customs, practices, festivals, rituals and beliefs have acquired a flut and half-hearted quality which reflects our nomadic and rootless existence, predicated as we are on the global air-waves.
