Kosovo is a republic that is often accused of being mostly secular. Over 51% of Kosovo's population actively practices Islam [Attending Mosque regularly and preforming prayer 5 times daily]. This is denied by the government, but has been thoroughly recognized by many people. Unlike its neighboring country [Albania], Kosovo does not have strong roots to Christianity. Over 65% of Kosovar Muslims have claimed to put Allah [Which in the Islamic religion, is God] over their culture and tradition. Along with Bosnia, Kosovo's secular party has weakened and decreased. Over 100 illegal Mosques have been produced in the small Balkan nation, and none have been taken down. Kosovo however, is not a radical Islamist nation, considering not even 80% out of its 96% Muslim population is non-secular. This is one of the blurred reasons why Kosovo will not be able to enter the EU.

There are many ignored signs that lie in Kosovo unnoticed. Some are listed in the following.
 * Kosovo was originally allowed to have 540 Mosques, yet is has 660
 * Kosovo's neighboring country, Albania, is twice its size, but still has only 598 Mosques.
 * Kosovo has a strongly formed alliance with Turkey, which also has a decreasing percentage of secularity
 * Over 35% of protests in Kosovo are for Islamic [religious] purposes
 * Kosovo has a very active communication with Turkey

If this decrease of secularity continues for more than about 6-11 years, the Kosovar government will not be able to hide the growth. Kosovo of course, like any other mostly Muslim populated nation, has had radical Islamists. But it has not yet become considered a source for massive terrorist activity.

Countries with decreasing secularity are placed in the following chart.
