Albanian Muslims object to city’s statue of Mother Teresa
MUSLIMS in Albania’s northern city of Shkoder are opposing plans to erect a statue to Mother Teresa, the ethnic Albanian Catholic nun in line for elevation to sainthood by the Vatican.
“We do not want this statue to be erected in a public place, because we see her as a religious figure,” said Bashkim Bajraktari, Shkoder’s mufti, a Muslim religious leader. Shkoder’s Muslims recently protested against crosses being erected on prominent hilltops around the city.
