Description

 'What is more interesting is that two words — ‘Islamic’ and ‘State’ — put together evoke alarm rather than optimism. However, the Albanian proposal gives more hope than fear. The Albanian Muslim Vatican would remind the world that Islam is far from monolithic and many interpretations of the religion coexist peacefully, as they should. The Bektashi order follows a mystical, inclusive form of Islam rooted in Shia Sufism, embracing pluralism and intercultural dialogue', says Pasmanda Muslim Thought Leader & ThePrint Columnist Amana Begam Ansari.
