Which goes to show that Albanians followed the Canon of Lek and aren’t Jihadis, nor Catholics, nor Orthodox Christians.

My family is from the region- it seems like pretty much everyone in the Balkans is a little... off. But the Albanians are a pretty out there, even compared to their neighbors. Weird mountain people, I guess. One factoid that shows just how unusual they are is that there are Albanian clans that are multi-religious. Clan loyalties overcome any religious bonds. So a Muslim Albanian will happily kill another Muslim Albanian in order to avenge an Orthodox or Catholic clan member.
