Scott’s comment has a lot of validity. Turkey 50 years ago was very cosmopolitan. It is getting less now under the influence of fundamental islamicism. Look at Egypt 50 years ago they were very modern in dress and manners. It is quite possible that Kosova can change. Iran back in the Shah’s time was turning European.

The resurgence of fundamental islamicism is from the retreat of European and Great Britain control over the region and the reduced influence of Western Europe.

However Kosova and Albania and Bosnia have managed to convert to western society and I am glad that they embrace Islam light. Seems to me they are really more Christian in outlook but never bothered to change over in name

I very much enjoyed the view into the area. It created a desire to travel over there and get a more in depth look.
