Islam Times - Albanian Muslims protest “nude” exhibition near local mosque

Islam Times - Muslims in an Albanian coastal town have protested against the opening of an exhibition of nude photographs and sculptures in a gallery a few meters from the local mosque in Durres, about 50 kilometers (30 miles) northeast of the capital Tirana...

Islam Times: “This exhibition is unacceptable. It should not be opened next to the mosque of the town,” local mufti Redi Quku was quoted saying.

Quku said the opening of the exhibition of works by Albanian artist Mustafa Biduli was offensive to Muslims, in particular as the show takes place during the holy month of Ramadan.

The local Muslim community has said it will file a complaint against local authorities who have “severely provoked believers” with the exhibition.

Most of Albania’s population are Muslims, but the country also has a significant Christian minorities, both Orthodox and Catholic.
