28:23Now PlayingA significant shift in religious demographics is occurring in Albania and Kosovo, with implications for the historically Muslim-majority region. Albania's recent census revealed that Muslims now comprise only 45.7% of the population, marking the first time in over two centuries that they are not the majority. Simultaneously, the number of non-religious individuals and Orthodox Christians has increased. Meanwhile in Kosovo, a controversial movement called the Movement for the Abandonment of the Islamic Faith has emerged, aiming to counter religious extremism. The founder, Vesel Lekaj, stated their goal is to combat "extreme and political Islam, but also... Serbian Orthodox extremism." This movement, with its slogan "Let's Just Be Albanians," has sparked debate and legal scrutiny. Some supporters advocate for "Albanianism" as the true national identity, reflecting a complex interplay between religious and national identities in the region. These developments highlight a growing trend of secularization and a reevaluation of religious identity among ethnic Albanians.
