Talk:Shkreli (tribe)

Ethnicity of Škrijelj

This information about Shkreli is 100% incorrect. Shkreli's are 100% Albanian and are 100% catholic there are no muslim Shkreli's and we are and will always be 100% Albanian and Catholic. So whoever made this information or brought this information to this website doesnt know what the FUCK they are talking about, and should watch what the FUCK they say, also learn the history before going and writing up some bullshit. Shkreli is a tribe from Malësi and is in northern Albania, but we are in no way FUCKING Bosnian or Serbian so this shit needs to come down and we are all Catholic Albanians.

Could you please articulate, without threatening undertones, what the specific issue is with the current text of the article. I have no doubt the article is in poor shape, but I do not interpret the text as saying that Skrijelj are partly Muslim, which (I think) is the issue you are having. I do not know the topic, and can't find any sources to help me copyedit or correct the text, but maybe you can help out by providing some. 66.57.4.17 (talk) 10:53, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Like I said the first time you have no clue what the Fuck you are saying so take this shit down..I am a Shkreli and your information is completly wrong so take this Fucking shit dow. We are from Albania we are Albanian NOT Fucking Serbian!!!!

The region consists of a congregation of seven Tribes—Hoti, Gruda, Kelmendi, Kastrati, Shkreli, Trieshi, and Koja e Kuçit—the first five of which are documented to have lived together since at least the Middle Ages.

The histories of the respective Tribes(and hence the whole region) are amalgamations of both historical events and genealogies passed along by oral transmission.

Hoti is a Catholic Albanian village that is the brother village of Trieshi. Geographically, Hoti lies on the border separating Albania and Montenegro, on the north shore of Lake Scutari. Hoti is regarded as the leaders (bajraktar) of Malësia e Madhe.

Gruda is a village of Malësia that, along with Hoti, was instrumental during the Ottoman resistance. The mountain of Dechiq (Dečić), where the famed battle against the Ottoman conquerors took place, is located here, as is Tuzi, the de facto "capital" of Malësia. Gruda is mostly Roman Catholic but with a sizeable Muslim minority (20-30%). The Church of Gruda, known as Prifti, is the oldest church in the region, and it is not only an Albanian landmark, but, having been built in 1528, provides the most concrete date for tracing back ancestry.

Kelmendi is located in the northern-most region of Albania, located on the eastern shores of Lake Scutari. The village is mostly Roman Catholic although there are some sizable Muslim populations on the outskirts of Kelmendi. Kelmendi consists of villages as Vermosh, Selce, Lepush, Tamare, Budac, and Gropate e Selces.

Kastrati lies entirely within the political borders of Montenegro. It traces its descent from the famous fighting stock, Drekalović of Kuči, which in turn derives from Berisha, by tradition one of the oldest of all Albanian surnames. The people of Kastrati are Catholic and Muslim; and though they retain their Slavic names it is generally accepted that they are of Albanian origin.

Shkreli is the largest village of Malesia e Madhe. Shkreli led Malesia e Madhe in the resistance against communism, with their leader Major Marash Lleshi, during World War II. Shkreli is Roman catholic (population seized). Other examples of famous Shkrelsman are Bec Patani, Marash Mani and Qek Deda.

Triesh is commonly considered the "younger brother" of Hoti, as they share a common ancestor, Keq Preka of Herzegovina. The people of Triesh were, along with their Hoti brethren, known for their role during the Ottoman resistance. Specifically, they are said never to have given in to political or religious suppression by the Ottomans; and, as a result, they not only retained an overwhelmingly Catholic population, but they never willingly paid any taxes or tribute to the Ottoman pashas. Gjon Gjeka, Malote Gjeka, Maluk Vata, Mal Vuksani, Dode Smajli, Luc Gjoni and Zef and Dede Mali are all examples of famous Trieshjan.

Koja e Kuçit is a Catholic Albanian village near the Montenegrin Kuči tribe. The people of Koja have been praised for their resistance to the Slavic expansion, guarding their borders with life and blood from advancing Slavs into the Albanian Malesia region. Not one house in Koja was converted to Islam after nearly 500 years of the Ottoman occupation in the region. Pretash Zeka Ulaj the bajraktari Kojes was honored by the leaders of the other Six Malesia tribes and given the Albanian flag to mount on top of Deqic as a symbol of unity amongst the seven villages after finally defeating the Ottoman Turks.[citation needed]

So we are not Muslim and we are not Serbian whoever or wherever you got your information is wrong so if I was you i would take this down.

This article should be moved to "Shkreli (clan)". Safetidhehyria (talk) 20:03, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Moved it, and I think the Skrijelj redirect should have its own article for the clan in Bosnia. What do other fellow editors think? Safetidhehyria (talk) 16:01, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
