A HISTORICAL GLANCE UPON TOLERANCE AND MUTUAL UNDERSTAND BETWEEN RELIGIONS IN ALBANIA

Abstract

The presence and the coexistence of three main religions such as: Islam, Orthodox and Catholic, have made interfaith tolerance to be a historical necessity, serving as a medium and factor to ensure national unity and the existence as a nation although Albanian people have never separated religious devotion from national interest.

As the matter of fact neither type of religion cannot and must not predict human discrimination because of religious disparity, because all of them have in their basis human equality towards God. “Brotherhood” notion descends from every religion in a certain sense:  peace, mutual understanding, not “homogeneity” or “supremacy”, but people’s mutual respect of each belief.
