Former President of the Islamic Community of Kosovo and Dean of the Faculty for Islamic Studies in Prishtina, Rexhep Boja, called on the Arab world to recognize independent Kosovo soon.

Invited on a prime time show of the TV station Al-Jazeera, Boja said that “Arab states should not fall prey to Serb and
Russian propaganda” and that they should take decisions to recognize Kosovo.
 
"Serbia must give up once and for all and leave Kosovo alone. Serbia should be ashamed for what it has done against the Albanian people in Kosovo for over 100 years by expelling, killing, raping and massacring its citizens," said Boja for Al-Jazeera.
 
During the hour long interview, Boja also called on Arab businesses to invest in Kosovo.

Rexhepi a distant cousin of mine is a true muslim and a true albanian at the same time. Great example for others to follow. He was the mufti of at the time yugoslavia and after its destruction - he was the mufti of only Kosova. May God Bless him and his family! What a good role-model. He is doing the job that our politicians should have been doing long ago - keep reminding the world of all the genocide serbs have done against the albanians in Kosova.

i dont understand what is going on:

1) serbs have killed muslims in bosnia and kosova while arab states dont care at all
2) serbs are acting as if they are victims in all of this - but no one keeps on reminding them of their crimes
3) our leaders are not going around the world requesting recognitions and reminding them of serb crimes
4) our leaders said that montenegro and macedonia will recog. kosova this week - not happeining
5) our leaders said at least 5 muslim countries will recog kosova during ramazan - not happening

- what is going on? why all the lies and propaganda?
- people (lour leaders) - WAK UP and go to work - lets let the world know what happened and why we need to be part of UN etc etc ... or STOP with the lies and BS about recognitions.

He's not an Islamic Leader. He is a professor and a dean of the faculty.
