Terror & Gratitude: Albanian Imam's Kosovo Mission
http://www.serbianna.com/columns/casoli/001.shtml ^

According to information reports Kosovo Albanian Imam Kastriot Duka could be a terrorist, an extremist one who recruits minors in order to train them to be Islamic fundamentalists.

Despite his long beard that is in the tradition of his Salafi faith, Imam Kastriot Duka behaves like a gentleman. He makes you feel at home even if as he washes himself before praying. One can visit him without having to make appointments.

... “Five months after the refugees came I received the visit of a person coming from Britain to help the people. At that moment we decided together to leave Albania and to go to Kosovo with refugees; we started building a mosque,” declares Imam.

Imam Duka identifies “the person coming from Britain” as a “director” that “sent him to a mufti in Kosovo”, but it seems the connection was not good enough.

Reports suggest that this mysterious “director” could perhaps be Thomas Jeppesen, a Dane that coordinates a British-based NGO.

“Kastriot is a good man, a good Muslim, he makes money to let Xhamal build a mosque,” he tells about himself.

Imam Kastriot says that the reason he is on Kosovo is to teach.

Muslim Albanian Children of Kosovo Imam Duka teaches.

Albanian Muslims of the area consider the Imam to be a holy man because he gave money and other help to the poor Muslims. Poor locals get meat and other food from him and exercise-books, clothes and 20 euros per month.

“Who’s sending you money, mr Duka?” I asked.

“Well, I’m not a rich man. I receive money from organisation Rahma Mercy from Britain,” says the Imam.

Imam Duka is also helping the orphans. He says that these are the “children who had their Baba killed in fighting with Serbs”.
