More of the poison fruit of Clinton's Bosnian war backing the Muslims against the Christians in southeast Europe.

Yesterday in "moderate" "modern" Albania, the church of the
Dormition in Permet was seized, clergy brutally beaten, worhsippers violently prevented from entering  and the church looted with the assistance of the local government.

Local officials removed church items from the church of the Dormition in Permet in southern Albania in an effort to seize control of the church building:

STATEMENT OF PROTEST

The Priests of the Holy Metropolis of Gjirokastra
 
 Today
in Përmet Orthodox community was witnessed brutal violation of any
notion of democracy, human rights, in particular that the free exercise
of religion as sanctioned in the Constitution as well as basic
conditions to be guaranteed under the state the right to equal.
 
    Since
morning today, Friday, 16 August 2013, and while the whole Orthodox
community continues to experience the Feast of the Dormition of the
Virgin Mary, Easter Summer, paramilitary groups (with the help of
municipal officials and the tacit support of the municipal authority ), on the pretext of treating a case, multiform violence exercised to the detriment of clergy and believers Bazaar.
 
    All of our church is next to the parish faithful in temple entry of the Virgin Mary in Përmet protests for today:
– Was beaten so barbarous clergy of that city
– Were violently prevented believers from entering their church and their duties of trust
– Looted items that church on the pretext of execution of court decisions which are already prescribed
– Sacrilegious because it was heavy hand on the holy church items (icons, worship container etc.)
–
Strength to speculate with various legal proceedings aimed at
effectively removing violent believers from their places of worship. With
special state law ratified Agreement between the Council of Ministers
and AAOC exactly a priority of ensuring the enjoyment of freedom of
sacred places of worship and ceremonies.

 
    Raise
the voice of protest and express both our insistence that we have to
abandon the quest by any means and method to our right to own property
and free use of the parish church of Entry into the Temple of the Virgin
Mary is fully realized.
    We
demand that the dark forces beyond the control of emerging rule of law
and the spirit of tolerance and cohesion of society who commits violent
acts today to get the deserved punishment by law.
