No, it's still European. After all, the majority of people (excluding the Jews, Roma, & Turks) are European, and the country is located inside Europe's geogrpahical borders.
As for it being predominatly Muslim, that's up for debate, beacause Albania was the only Athiestic country for so long, with a dictator who outlawed religion, and imprisoned/killed all imans, and priests.

If that's really what that one is all about, good for them.
As for Albania, well, it's only a real "battle" if somebody gets shot. Looks like they are getting real over there.
