"True religion is the honest life" - Scottish saying--Recently, the debate was reopened in Kosovo, but also in Albania, whether it should be allowed to wear headscarves by women who work in the state administration, as well as by high school and high school students in Kosovo. As always happens, and rightly so, the parties were divided mainly into two groups, where one asserts the constitutional right of women to wear headscarves as a right to express their religious affiliation, while the other group, which seems to include most of the rulers of Kosovo express themselves against the wearing of headscarves and have even banned it with a by-law normative act as well as governmental decisions. The main arguments of the second group revolve around the claim that "we are like all of Europe", "we want to go to Europe", "in the West such a thing is not allowed", etc., etc. This group of people, sometimes ignorant, sometimes deceitful and sometimes incurable xenomaniacs, never explain what harm can be caused by women wearing headscarves and whether or not it is constitutional to prohibit them from doing so. Personally noI don't like women wearing headscarves and I would like schoolgirls, especially high school ones, not to wear it and have some kind of dignified school "uniform", as it used to be in Albania and as some have today schools in western countries. in western countries.
The rather hypocritical and servile claim that not wearing the headscarf makes us more European is false. Not wearing a headscarf makes us European as much as wearing it makes us religious. The truth is that human belonging, especially today in modern times, is defined more and better by whatin western countries.

The truth is that a person's belonging, especially today in modern times, is determined more and better by what a person feels spiritually, "grinds" mentally and demonstrates morally in his behavior in the family and society, and not by the fact of what he wears or wears on the head. The mania of the Albanian political class, here and there across the border with Kosovo, to look "European" in form and their refusal to behave like "Europeans" in content is screaming. If yesterday's and today's political leaders of both Albanian states had made serious and sincere efforts to behave like Euro-Westerners with each other and with their people, as much as they have made and are making hypocritical and superficial efforts to If it seemed so, the Albanian people and its two states would have things much better than they do.
On the other hand, most Western countries do not prohibit women from wearing the headscarf on the street, at work or at school. What is most important, as the constitutionalist Klodian Rado rightly explained, the wearing of the headscarf by the women of Kosovo is a constitutional right and as such cannot be violated or abrogated by bylaws or laws. And, after all, why should it be stopped?! We who do not ban commercial and amoral nudity in the means of public visual information, who do not ban pornography and the extreme immorality of unethical "artistic" programslike "Big Brother", "Perputhen", etc., etc., do you want us to stop wearing a headscarf?! We, who do not forbid, but, on the contrary, advertise and exalt every day the exposure of the "sinful", lustful and instinctive parts of promiscuous women, wanted to stop the covering of the head by some women who truly believe that they are serving the "Word" of God"?!Which member of our society is more harmful and dangerous, the one who wears a scarf on her head and sees her work without being exposed or "sold" as a VIP, or those women who undress us every day and claim that they "earn" thousands of euros posting nude or semi-nude photos on social networks (actually, anti-social), who go and frolic through the streets of the West or the palaces of the Arab sheikhs of the East and then our means of information-degeneration sell to the new generation as models of "success" ”, so models to be followed in life?!

In the discussion of the problem of allowing or not wearing the headscarf, I was impressed by the statement of the Albanian publicist from Skopje, Mr. Kim Mehmeti, who claimed that "When I see the distant photos of my mother and sisters, I remember the times when the Slavic-communist circles wanted to take us out of backwardness by removing the headscarf from Albanian women. So I admire our heroines of those times, who "looking"covering" the national and religious identity with a scarf, by "covering" our mother tongue with a scarf, they managed to protect Albanianness in the years when Tito's communists wanted from us Albanians across the border to "produce" a new people, called " Shiptari", with a new language, named "Shiptari" language. And, that's why I feel the lack of a memorial to the Albanian woman with a headscarf, a memorial to my pride, to the women of the times of socialism, to those women who managed to prevent our assimilation, who did not allow us Muslim Albanians to do the same like the Orthodox, to "civilize" by throwing away the Albanian headscarf, so that later we would lose our language, assimilate, we lingeredwe lingeredIf we take the statements of Mr. Mehmeti, it would show us that the headscarf is a symbol of Albanian and Muslim identity and that not wearing it would destroy these two identities (belonging), would assimilate us, shame us, etc., etc. In fact, it is not so. The wearing of headscarves by women dates back to the time of ancient Mesopotamia and is characteristic of most peoples, both East and West, even until the beginning of the 20th century. We look at countless photos belonging to the beginning of the 20th century and the end of the previous century of German, Dutch and other European women with headscarves, we look at the portraits of women with headscarves in the art galleries of Western countries, we also look at the portrait of Van Gogh's mother, etc. etc. So the national affiliation, eastern or- to be continued
