    What if I told you that the idea of the nation is much older than the Enlightenment? Despite the claims of modern theories of nationalism, its roots can be traced back to the Medieval period.

    I’m thrilled to announce my forthcoming book, “The Origins of National Thought”, tracing its roots back to the Renaissance humanist movement in Italy and its later developments in France, Germany, and Croatia, with a special emphasis on the Albanian humanists.

    I’m a graduate in Medieval Studies, and when I try to explain some myths about it, people look at me as if I was insane. The Enlightenment propaganda is so strong, that telling the truth about Medieval era sounds like a crazy right-wing conspiracy theory.

    It’s really weird to see an American conservative sympathising with a communist regime which committed genocides and crimes in Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo...

    Piers Morgan is left speechless in debate on NATO's bombing of Yugoslavia.

    Ironically, we rarely realize that the most morbid and inhumane crimes were committed during the Enlightenment and Modern era. Concentration camps, gulag, genocides, eugenics, racism, reign of terror, totalitarianism, etc.

    On February 19, 1945, Yugoslav communists brutally murdered Albanian Catholic priest Fr. Zef Leonard Tagaj. His only "crime"? Being both Albanian and Catholic. We remember his sacrifice and the countless others who suffered under communist terror.

    The idea that every country should be a liberal democracy is not only wrong, but as we can see, it’s failing.

    The Enlightenment historiography is still the most successful propaganda ever made; it refused to die, because the [anti-Christian] sentiment which these thinkers had promoted seems to be popular ever since.

    The aforementioned catastrophes are a result of the ideology which promoted the cult of progress, reason and science, which ended becoming the cult of irrationality, regress and crimes.

    So, today, many don’t believe in religion because they consider it dogmatic, but unconsciously and dogmatically believe in this ideology: Enlightenment.

    And this is a serious problem. Many school textbooks, media, etc. promote most of these myths, which are inherently biased and dangerous, because they distort the truth.

    But of course, rarely will we hear that being denounced, because we still live in that era, where one of the most criminal and bloody act of history [the French Revolution] is presented as ‘glorious’ and ‘good’.

    The Dark Age myth, if studied carefully, is nothing more but anti-Catholicism in disguise.

    Demonizing the Other is the best way to begin a fight, because it gives you the feeling of the moral superiority. In our case, this has been done by distorting and misinterpreting historical facts, and inventing myths and false villains and heroes.
