Desecrated gravestones at the Jewish Cemetery, Prishtina, Kosova, 2011

The Center for Islamic Pluralism, with members, supporters, and correspondents in Albania, Kosova, and the other territories in which Albanians form large communities (in Macedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia), as well as the Albanian diaspora in Western Europe and North America, joins the civic leaders of Kosova and of the Albanian-American community in denouncing the vandalism committed against the Jewish Cemetery in Prishtina, the Kosova capital.

The Prishtina Jewish Cemetery has benefited from rehabilitation efforts by Spanish units of the Kosovo Forces (KFOR), honoring the Sephardic origin of Jews buried there, as well as American and Kosovar students affiliated with Dartmouth College in the U.S. and the American University in Kosovo.

The Cemetery is located in the TaukBahçe neighborhood of Prishtina and had been neglected for many years.

Apparently during the night of November 29, unknown persons entered the Cemetery and painted German Nazi symbols and other insulting graffiti on the gravestones. A photograph of the damage is included here.

Mufti Fuad by Nebih Maxhuni

Willingly or not, Mufti Naim Tërnava is not in control of the situation. His role now is being taken over by Fuad Ramiqi, the man who seems to have found the small door through which to become a political factor. He is now leading the Muslim groups protesting for the construction of a large mosque in the center of Prishtina. Kosovar Imams are asking who is truly leading the Islamic Community of Kosova (Bashkësia Islame e Kosovës, BIK].

Divisions have begun to upset the Islamic Community of Kosova (BIK). Leaders of Muslims in some municipalities of Kosova have started to openly accuse Naim Tërnava, head of the BIK, of maintaining ties with Islamic radicals.

According to them, the BIK, led by Tërnava, is indirectly involved in protests, with the blocking of streets in the capital.

“Naim Tërnava could be [the reason] behind them. The problem is that when he does not want things done under his own roof, he can call on Islamic non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to carry out protests,” Mullah Osman Musliu from Drenas, who has been beaten several times by unidentified persons because of his stance against the Wahhabis, told Express.

Mufti Naim Tërnava has not been seen in the protesting crowds, but someone else is playing his role. He is Fuad Ramiqi. Mullah Osmani has a few questions: “Who is this Fuad Ramiqi and what does he do? Is he the leader of BIK or is he there because Naim Tërnava has failed to do his job leaving us in this situation?”
