PHOTO: Each Recruited Wahhabist Gets €200 a Month

Each month millions of euros arrive for recruited Wahhabists from Austria and other countries, says Kosovo’s Helsinki Committee’s Hisari.

Besqim Hisari, head of the Kosovo Helsinki Committee, says he has been concerned over the occurrence of radical Islam in Kosovo for some time now. According to the latest studies pertaining to the occurrence of Wahhabism the committee has conducted, the committee came to a shocking revelation about millions of euros arriving from Austria and some other countries to Kosovo.

- An average salary in a state-owned company in Kosovo is 150 to 200 euros. And the radical Islamists give 200 euros every month to each member of a family that decides to join them. If one family has five members, then they get 1,000 euros a month, and you can only imagine how easy it is to get people to be recruited. The Wahhabists perfidiously exploited the difficult situation in Kosovo. And once they get the taste of the money, all these people will, without doubt, identify themselves with Wahhabism – said Hisari, whose concern is also shared by politicians and the Islamic Community in Kosovo.

The people of Kosovo accuse imam Shefqet Krasniqij for more and more people in Kosovo turning to Wahhabism. This doctor of theology is the only who can attract more than ten thousand believers to his prayers.

Not at all upset with the accusations, Krasniqij asks:

- Am I a radical or a terrorist if I want to take Muslims on the path of Islam?

He says about his critics that they found an ideal way to painlessly distract the attention of the public from corruption and drug trafficking in a country that is struggling with problems.

Not wishing to enter into polemics with people accusing him, who, as he says, are often themselves part of the trafficking chain of drugs which kill children, Krasniqij firmly stands behind the power of his religion that teaches Muslims true values and the principles of Islam. He says about Kosovo politicians that they have strayed from their faith. To Kosovo President, Fatmir Sejdi, who recently said that Kosovo is a secular state, Krasniqij says that despite his objections, Kosovo will always be an Islamic state because more than 90 percent of its population are Muslims.
