Hm, the man was born 36 years ago, in what was then known as 'Yugoslavia'. It only effectively became Kosovo since 1999...
Kosovo has 3 major religions; Islam, Roman Catholic, and Serbian-orthodox. I have no idea what religion the assailant subscribes to, or if he is practicing any....
Also, the 93% Albanian majority define their ethnic unity by language, not by religion. The 7% minority, do identify by religious unity. I have no idea from which group the assailant originates, or what motivated his act.
Bart,
You are obviously an educated and knowledgeable man. You are, however, way out of your depth here.
effectively became Kosovo since 1999
- Say what!? Kosovo was an autonomous region of Yugoslavia since the the WWII. In the 70's, it had its own representative in the collective presidency of Yugoslavia (one of eight, just like Serbia or any other republic), its own constitution, parliament, police, etc.
Kosovo has 3 major religions; Islam, Roman Catholic, and Serbian-orthodox.
Another weaseling formulation. To the uninitiated, this sounds like an equal split, while in reality, it is about 90% Albanian Muslim, 7% Serbian Orthodox, and 3% Albanian Catholic
I have no idea what religion the assailant subscribes to, or if he is practicing any
You are right that
you have no idea. But, statistically speaking, what do you think chances are that he is a Muslim? How about 90%? That would be one hell of an educated guess. But wait, there is more. According to the German press, his name is Fatmir H. That is an Albanian name. So, yes, there is about 3% chance that he is a Catholic, and zero chance Serbian Orthodox.
the 93% Albanian majority define their ethnic unity by language, not by religion. The 7% minority, do identify by religious unity
Again, SAY WHAT!? Let me repeat: about 97% of Albanians are Muslims, 3% Catholics.
