Give it up DTA. Mother Teresa says she's Albanian. She speaks Albanian. The name she was born with (Bojaxhiu) is Albanian. According to Mother Teresa's brother, their father was murdered by Serbs because of his involvement in Albanian nationalist activities:

`The suffering of our family started when the Yugoslavs and Albanians were fighting for Kosova and the other provinces of Albania in which was the City of Skopje. Our father ... was very active in politics and the Albanian National question. He tried very hard to obtain the national rights of Albanians, with all his heart he tried to keep the Albanian territories in Yugoslavia together with Albania. When Yugoslavia took over the territories the family was persecuted and my father poisoned.'

This is historical nonsense. Yugoslavia (i.e. Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes) was created in 1919., after WWI. Present day Kosovo and Metohija and Makedonija were part of Serbia since the dissolution of the Ottoman rule in the Balkans (Balkan Wars). For historically challenged, Balkan wars were BEFORE WWI.

"When Yugoslavia took over the territories the family was persecuted and my father poisoned." is complete fabrication.

But having in mind Albanian propensity for blattant historical lies (e.g. Ilyrian origin, Alexander the Great being an Albanian and other fantastic tales) this is merely a glitch in the script :-)

There is a rabid Anti-Serb who can be consulted on Mother Theresa. He can not be accued of favorism. His name is Christopher Hitchens.
