In Calabria, southern Italy, an atrocious crime was committed. Four foreign agricultural workers — three Afghans and one Pakistani — were locked inside a car that was then set on fire; they frantically tried to open the doors, but their killers held them shut; all four inside the car burned to death. Some left-wing Italians […]
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. That’s terrific, but instead, he ran into an Islamic State recruiter, […]
Italy: 15-year-old Muslim re-arrested for plotting jihad massacre, recruiting more jihadis
He was previously arrested for this and was held in a community detention center. Did Italian authorities really think that would be sufficient to compel him to abandon jihad? It’s likely they did, and in that case, they show themselves to be astonishingly ignorant of the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat, as are […]
A Man Plowed His Car Into a Crowd in Italy, but He Has a Perfectly Good Explanation
New in PJ Media: Yes, okay, Salim El Koudri did drive his car into a crowd in Modena, Italy, last Saturday, maiming a couple of people for life (they both had to have their legs amputated) and injuring five others. But these are the days of compassion, the days when we know that the perpetrator […]
Italy: Muslim migrant vehicular jihadi says ‘I’m bullied, marginalized, and I live in a racist country’
Salim El Koudri has clearly learned how to sound the right notes in the West in order to gain the sympathy of the political and media elites. His complaint about Italy being racist will win him many defenders, and has the additional benefit of diverting attention from the fact that he is a jihadi, employing […]
Italy: Muslim rams pedestrians, injuring 8, gets out of his car and stabs one person, has ‘psychiatric disorders’
Have you ever noticed that the overwhelming preponderance of people who are suffering from psychiatric disorders that make them want to ram people with their cars and then get out and stab some more are Muslims? Isn’t that a remarkable coincidence? Could there possibly, just possibly, be another explanation for these repeating occurrences? Or would […]
Italian Prime Minister Meloni Prioritizes Italian Citizens for Housing Assistance
Italy’s no-nonsense prime minister, the very intelligent Giorgia Meloni, has instituted a commonsensical policy of prioritizing Italian citizens over migrants for housing assistance. She argues that those citizens who have waited for years for such housing, all the while paying into the system, should be provided with it before the migrants who have just arrived […]
Italy: Head of Islamic Community of Rome makes mosque speech that sparks fear of ‘political Islam’
The greatest threat to the West is the mobilizing of Muslim activist leaders who support the Sharia. They mobilize Muslim voters, and are adept at finding cracks and loopholes in the West’s laws, culture, and tradition, in any way they can. They are good at it. They use these loopholes to attack Western values and […]
Italy: Muslim migrant rapes 17-year-old Muslim migrant mother, an apparent child bride
How richly Italy, and Europe in general, has benefited from the vibrant culture of the new arrivals! Just imagine how drearily monochromatic Italy would be today if it weren’t filled with people who thought children as young as nine should get married, in imitation of Muhammad’s marriage to Aisha. Imagine how boring Italy would be […]
