The community comes together under one roof to maintain its exciting heritage and precious culture. While frequenting the Tekke, I was able to take a closer look at the community. I discovered that bringing the community together under the same beliefs actually aided in the development of an imaginary wall between the members. It is very hard to believe that when Albanians come together, they are still apart. Many Albanians sit with members they are already familiar with and do not mix with members of other economic and social classes.
Individuals appear to feel most comfortable with their own social class.
Sadly, there are many reasons why this occurs. One reason is because people in more affluent social classes feel that they want to sit with their own affluent class. They are only attending the Tekke for companionship from those in their own social class, and could care less about the actual beliefs. This is irritating to the dedicated members of the Albanian Bektashi Tekke. One particular case that shows evidence of the imaginary wall is rather amusing.
