Another explanation for the flexible attitude of the Muslim Tosks towards the Greeks and Christian Tosks and Souliots was their lack of religious fanaticism. This was the contemporary view of Leake, Hobhouse and Finlay, and later in the eighteenth century of Albanologists, such as von Hahn and Malte-Brun. Before the Greek Revolution Hobhouse had noted that they were not in the position to say which religion they preferred, they went to the mosque on Friday and to a church on Sunday and that they preferred to define themselves as Albanians rather than as Muslims or Christians. According to Finlay, their religion was hardly a matter of consciousness with the majority. And he noticed that 'the Albanians, unlike the Greeks, felt the bonds of nationality stronger than their religion. Hence, they did not take seriously the calls for a cihad. This lack of Muslim fervour was also the contemporary view of the Greeks as well as of the Orthodox Christian Tosks fighting with the Greeks.

For the Albanian is essentially a European - a European of the Middle Ages. Alone of all races in Turkey, he has an hereditary aristocracy and a feudal system. Islam, among Eastern peoples, is everywhere a leveller. It obliterates birth and race. A labourer may rise to be a Pasha, and it is no rare sight to see a negro in officer's uniform commanding white troops. But the Albanians have kept their pride of birth. The Ghegs are organised in clans, which obey none but their hereditary chiefs. Even among the much more civilised Tosks of the South, wealth and rank count for little, and the poorest and youngest bey of an old family will claim precedence in public over the most venerable nouveau riche. The marriage customs of the Turks make no account of social distinctions. A Turk will marry some Georgian or Circassian slave. The Albanians who became Moslems have remained strict monogamists. They never marry outside their own race and their own rank. A marriage with a wealthy Greek woman or an Albanian girl of new family is held to be a mésalliance.

At the rally in Skenderaj, 1941, where about 5,000 armed Albanians were present, Rexhep Mitrovica declared: "Serbs came to the Balkans by force, by force the Balkans they must leave, and since they have nowhere to go, they should all be killed. That task is up to us [Albanians]"
After this speech, the Albanians began singing
"Mussolini ordered us; Let's go cheerfully people, cheerfully. Hey Hitler, as you said; When the Germans liberated Kosovo, for us not to leave a single Serb"
