Mufti of Shkodra Muhamed Sytari has been the guest of yesterday’s “Bugajski Hour” in Albanian Screen where he made strong statements about various current issues.

He said that the Albanian Muslim Community has distanced itself from various organizations known as terrorist, even when in Albania that was not the topic of discussion.

Imam Sytari also emphasized that these organizations have no relation to Islam and that Islam is a religion of peace and acts like murder, massacres, etc. are not related to it, transmits Albeu.com.

He also expressed his thoughts about Turkish thinker, Fethullah Gulen.

“Gulen is a global thinker, praised by all. What he has managed to build up nowadays, is something that many others have not done, for especially building the confidence in youth, and teach them how to be good citizens of their country, so to be constructive Muslims in their country. And his philosophy for religious coexistence at a global level, i think has brought good things to humanity and tothe Islamic world.

Everywhere in the world, Muhammed Fethullah Gulen is a honored name, a scholar, who through his books and calls has represented in a worthy manner the calling of his spiritual leader, Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, one of the thinkers and great men of the Islamic world in the last century, “said the mufti of Shkodra, in an interview with analyst Janusz Bugajski in Albanian Screen.

In Turkey, The Man To Blame For Most Everything(!) Is A U.S.-Based Cleric

It isn’t just last month’s attempted coup that the Gulen movement is being blamed for! Everything from suicide bomb attacks to past mine disasters are being laid at the cleric’s doorstep. Just to name a few: last November’s Turkish shootdown of a Russian fighter jet, an explosion at a coal mine in Soma led to an underground fire that killed 301 people in 2014, a horrific suicide bombing at a wedding in Gaziantep killed dozens in August and even killing of Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink in 2007.

Why would Gulen choose to attempt a coup that’s contrary to all his views?

I believe it is unlikely that Gulen was the mastermind behind the dramatic failed coup attempt against Erdogan last week. Of course, in the absence of evidence, so far no one can speak with certainty. Gulen’s social movement probably has well over a million followers or sympathizers who are not under centralized control.
