Remember the rule: in Muslim countries, be careful to conform your behavior to Muslim sensibilities. And in non-Muslim countries, be careful to conform your behavior to Muslim sensibilities. “Nativity Scene Could Offend Muslims, Priest Says,” by Nick Hallett, Breitbart, December 12, 2016: A priest in Italy has caused uproar after announcing there would be no […]
Italy: Muslim migrant arrested for sexual assault of eight-year-old boy playing outside his house
In Afghanistan and elsewhere in the Islamic world, this kind of behavior is broadly tolerated. Women are so devalued, men look to other men and boys for sexual pleasure. Also, the Qur’an promises not just virgins to the blessed, but boys like “scattered pearls”: “Those are the ones brought near in the Gardens of Pleasure, […]
Angry Italian protesters chant against Muslim migrants: “Italy is for Italians”
The latest show of opposition comes after mafia bosses allegedly “declared war” on migrants after a man was shot in the head as a deadly turf war broke out with African crime gangs in Palermo earlier this year. The first duty of government is to protect its citizens. Between Angela Merkel’s failings, the shocking covered-up […]
How Italy deters jihad terrorism
Two years ago, then Islamic State spokesman Mohammed Al-Adnani declared jihad against Rome, vowing to “break your crosses, and enslave your women…” But so far he hasn’t succeeded, at least not in Italy or Rome. Al-Adnani went on to encourage jihadists to attack Westerners “wherever they can be found,” an admonition that was indeed carried […]
Italy deports Muslima who “expressed hostility towards Shiites, West, Jews, and unbelievers”
What a mystery! Where on earth could this woman have learned to have hostility for Shia (whom Sunnis often term “Rafidite dogs,” i.e., rejectors of the first three caliphs), Jews (whom Qur’an 5:82 says are the worst enemies of the Muslims), and unbelievers (whom Qur’an 98:6 calls “the most vile of created beings”)? This poor […]
Italy expels Muslim cleric who said Islam “fully incompatible” with Italian law
“The decision was taken because the man refused to swear on the constitution before taking up Italian citizenship, arguing that his ultra-conservative Salafist Islam beliefs were “fully incompatible” with Italy’s fundamental laws.” This imam’s assertion needs to be investigated more generally, in Italy and all of Europe and North America. If Sharia is indeed “fully […]
Italians reject plans for mosque next to the Leaning Tower of Pisa
In what is being called “the Italian revolution,” a referendum will decide whether or not the construction of a mosque will begin next to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. A failed plan to attack the Tower by a jihadist with suspected ties to the Islamic State has stirred the people. And the crisis in Italy […]
Italy: Muslim group demands legalization of polygamy as counterpart to legalization of gay marriage
Over two years ago, Jihad Watch covered the story of the Muslim cleric in Germany who declared that Muslims in the West should “demand their rights” to practice polygamy. Now Westerners are again faced with the same demand, only made more strongly, and this time in Italy. It comes from the Union of Islamic Communities […]
Dealing with Islamic supremacists: Italy expels imam who named daughter “Jihad”
Italian authorities have deported, on national security grounds, Moroccan cleric Mohammed Madad, who named one of his own daughters “Jihad.” The country has also expelled “close to 100 terrorism suspects since the beginning of 2015.” Italy’s General Investigations and Operations Division (known as DIGOS) had put Imam Madad under surveillance because of his reported radical […]
