Google Skenderbeg and you will understand why I use his name

I understand the history of Skanderbeg. I was just curious why you adopted the Turkish variant.

The name, Skanderbeg (pronounced "skander bei") has the following explanation: The name which can also be written "Skenderbeu" is the Albanian way of writing the Greek name Alexandros (Skender or Skander from Turkish and Arab "Iskander") and the Turkish Bey (Lord or prince).

the fight of his day is the same fight of our day.

What do you understand that fight to be?

My screen name has ties to the Turkish variant due to the origin of the name, but I am using the Albanian variant. Skenderbej is the subjective indefinite case, which is used when a name is by itself. Skenderbeu is the subjective definite and it should be used in the context of a sentence, not by itself. In reality, Skenderbeju is the correct spelling of the subjective definite case.

The fight in which we are engaged is the fight against mohammedan oppressors who would take away our freedoms in the name of their “religion”.
