Mother Theresa was not born in Albania, she never lived in Albania.

Argue with Mother Theresa. She says she was Albanian (see post 36). She spoke Albanian. The Albanians have named their main airport after her. The biggest Albanian charity is called The Mother Teresa Society. The fact that she was born in an Albanian populated area of the Ottoman Empire before Albanian gained its independence from Istanbul makes her no less Albanian.

Here's a nice photo of the statue of Mother Teresa located on Mother Theresa Boulevard in Pristina, Kosovo; its been up about four years now:

An Englishman born in Australia is not an American. A German born in Switzerland is not an Austrian. A Spaniard born in Tenerife is not a Mexican.

Yet, we have to accept that an Albanian born in Macedonia is Albania's national figure :-)

At least we do not have problem with the nationality of Osama Bin Laden who set shop in Albania.
