The response was not aimed as a cheap shot. It was more a function of my present mindset. I'm in the midst of trying to make heads and tails out of this peculiar hostility the Greeks have toward Albanians. I understand the Serbian bias but perplexed by the attitude of the Greeks. One of the first shocking stories I discovered was the incident of the refusal of Greek Orthodox priests in Boston, Massachusetts to bury Kristaq Dishnica because of his nationalist activities for Albanian independence. Thus was born Renaissance man and American citizen, Fan Noli. From there I learned about Albanian Patriots that were honeycombed in Greek history in their struggle for independence. One constant seems to still abide in the Greek heart and soul. Give up your Albanian identity. Become good Greeks. We don't hate you like Hitler hated the Jews because they were a different race. We despise you like Marlin Luther hated the Jews who refused to convert to Christianity. We resent you because you won't abandon your identity. You will not conform, you will not assimilate.

Pėrgjigja nuk ėshtė qėllim si njė e shtėnė tė lirė. Kjo ishte mė shumė njė funksion i mentalitetit tim aktual. Unė jam nė mes tė duke u pėrpjekur pėr tė bėrė kokat dhe bishtin nga kjo armiqėsi veēantė grekėt e kanė ndaj shqiptarėve. Unė e kuptoj paragjykim serbe, por hutuar nga qėndrimi i grekėve. Njė nga tregimet e para tronditėse kam zbuluar ishte incidenti i refuzimit tė priftėrinjve grekė ortodoksė nė Boston, Massachusetts pėr tė varrosur Kristaq Dishnica pėr shkak tė aktiviteteve tė tij nacionaliste pėr pavarėsinė shqiptare. Kėshtu u lind njeriu i Rilindjes dhe qytetar amerikan, Fan Noli. Nga atje kam mėsuar nė lidhje me patriotė shqiptarė qė janė gėrryer nė historinė greke nė luftėn e tyre pėr pavarėsi. Njė konstante duket ende qėndrojnė nė zemėr greke dhe shpirtit. Heqė dorė identitetin tuaj shqiptar. Grekėt bėhet mirė. Ne nuk ju urrejnė si Hitleri urrente hebrenjtė, sepse ata ishin njė racė e ndryshme. Ne pėrbuzin ju pėlqen Marlin Luteri urrente hebrenjtė tė cilėt refuzuan tė konvertohet nė krishterim. Ne duroj ju, sepse ju nuk do tė braktisė identitetin tuaj. Ju nuk do tė jenė nė pėrputhje, ju nuk do tė asimilohen.
