In a high school in northern Italy, flags of “Palestine” have been on display in classrooms throughout the year. The school administrators made no objection.

Italy: Muslim migrant beheads woman while reciting Qur’an verses
“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4) Then in Italy and elsewhere in the West, we will be told that Issam Chlih and others like him are mentally ill, and that Islam doesn’t condone this sort of behavior.

In Italy, an Honest and Serious Man
There was the Italian journalist Indro Montanelli, who went from skeptic to admirer after his visit to Israel in 1960, and once wrote that perhaps the best thing to happen in the 20th century was the establishment of the State of Israel. There was the intrepid leftist journalist Oriana Fallaci, who went from antipathy to […]
Italy: Muslim migrant planned to stab people in the name of Islam, another offered to finance him
One might assume that other Muslims who found out about this man’s violent plans would have tried to dissuade him, and to impress upon him the idea that Islam is a religion of peace, and that only a “tiny minority of extremists” think otherwise.
