How Radical Islam Infiltrates Kosovo

On Friday, August 17, the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan ended, followed by Eid-Ul-Fitr, the “festival of fast-breaking” that usually involves three days of celebration. This year in Kosovo, Eid Ul-Fitr was accompanied by an impressive journalistic feat: a team of investigative reporters published a four-part dossier on the country’s Muslims, titled “Radicalization of Islam: Real Threat or Phobia?”

The first installment appeared in Kosovo’s most respected newspaper, Koha Ditore (Daily Times). It was re-reported by other print media in Kosovo and Albania, and posted on numerous websites, producing a considerable debate.
