Originally posted by Soldier of Macedon View PostI never had the opportunity to meet any Macedonian Muslims while I was in Macedonia a couple years back, however, I have met a couple of them here in Australia. One of them is actually a friend of mine who has a strong Macedonian identity, speaks Macedonian as good as the rest of us and abhors being referred to as Turkish or Albanian. Without foreign propaganda most of them would naturally incline towards their Macedonian roots.If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their religious sentiments, of their duties and obligations...This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people was the real American Revolution. John Adams

Never really talked politics with any Macedonian Muslim before, but I have visited Labunishta a few times, to sell some Cherries up there, and I must say I am very impressed with how organized and clean they keep their selo."Oh, Macedonians!

I don't understand you Albanians....Macedonians are treated as second class citizens in their own country and a minority of 17% get new hospitals, infrastructure, everything...and you still bite the hand that feeds you...Do you think you will achieve something with Greater Albania?
I have spoken to Albanians from Prespa and they tell me themselves that the Albanians from Tetovo, Struga are more primative than the monkeys...you guys are nothing more than terrorists and murderers, you couldn't run a brothel in Bangkok!!!!!!Last edited by Valmir; 01-31-2012, 11:18 AM.

If they said things like that for their brothers in Tetovo and Struga , than they are not Albanians and we dont count them in our nation!
And btw what nation is that about your fellow Albanians, Ilirida?

I don't know what the true number is, all I can say is this:
The Albanian population is growing.
The Macedonian population is declining.
The birthrate among Albanians is higher than Macedonians. And that does not mean that Albanian families necessarily have more children than Macedonian families. Rather, more Albanian couples are getting married and having children than Macedonian couples who prefer not to get married and not have children.
If wee look at the student population, 33% of students in Macedonia are enrolled in Albanian language schools. So we can generally say that in the near future, Albanians will become 33%+ of the population.
But then we have to consider that the rate of Albanians leaving Macedonia to work abroad is higher than the Macedonians. So emigration will decrease their number.

There are millions of Albanians in Greece,Turkey,Italy,Swiss,Germany,USA but it doesn't matter because most of those Albanians will be assimilated after 5-6 generations.

Your nation?
Your nation is Macedonia, you are an Albanian from "Macedonia" not Albania. You are a citizen of Macedonia!!!As such why don't your people act like every other ethnic minority in Macedonia and be respected for what you are rather than idolizing the ideaology of Greater Albania? Tell me something, there were approximately half a million Greeks that lived in Melbourne over the last 50 years....did they want to create a Greater Greece? I didn't think so..

Video from the "Islamic" (Greater Albania) Protest In Struga.
As you can see, the speeches are in Albanian, and Albanian flags and Saudi Arabian flags are visible in the crowd.
