We Are Angry: We Don’t Want Italy to Become Like London

We are tired of pretending everything is fine. We have seen London. In London there is a Muslim praying in every corner, on the sidewalks, in the stations, in the middle of the street. We don’t want Italy to become like that. We don’t want that in ten years our trains, our squares, our schools become like London. We would abolish Islam in Italy. Period. It is not a religion like the others, it is a political system that wants to occupy public space. And when we say occupy, we mean exactly what we saw: three men throwing themselves on the floor on a train in Italy, with their foreheads on the dirty floor, while people have to slalom to get through. Everyone is free to believe what they want. Go to the mosque. Pray at home. Pray in your place of worship. But not in public. In public they bother us. They bother us because it is not private prayer, it is a show of power. It is saying: we are here and we do what we want here too. And they bother us because many of these, in some cases, then blow themselves up and blow up the train. Do you remember Madrid? Do you remember the Twin Towers? We didn’t invent it. It really happened. It is not racism. It is defense. We want to live in a normal Italy, where the train is a train, the square is a square, and not an improvised prayer rug. Enough. Who is a guest must respect the rules of the house.
