Albania is mostly secular, they declared themselves the first officially Atheist state when the Communists were in power. Pretty much every mosque and Church in Albania was leveled.

Sounds like a plan. Maybe we could just back off from sending $ to the ME and let the communist influence grow there (which is happening anyway). Commies will want the oil. The muzzie-commie marriage seems to wear them both out wherever it’s tried.
