Abstract

This chapter brings the example of religious peace in Albania, a small country in the Balkan Peninsula. The people of Albania today follow four major religions. They can be Muslim, Catholic, Orthodox, Bektashi, or atheists. This religious colorfulness has been a trait of the country for many centuries. Nevertheless, it has not ever caused any religion-based conflict between the people nor has it been a criterion of unfairness. Albania has been and is today the picture of harmonious coexistence of different religions. This chapter is aimed to make the Albanian example more visible to the world.
