Italy: Sale of Christian chapel to a Muslim group
will be blocked, by Ann Corcoran, 10/29/18. “Centuries of history risk disappearing if Islamization,
which up until now has been underestimated, gains the upper hand.” - (Matteo
Salvini). They are fighting hard in
Italy to save Western Civilization. We just hope it isn’t too late.
From Reuters: ROME
(Reuters) – Italy’s far-right League party intervened on Sunday to block
efforts by a Muslim association to turn a former hospital chapel into a mosque.
The
Muslim group last week made the highest offer for the chapel in the northern
city of Bergamo at an auction organized by a local hospital, outbidding the
Romanian Orthodox Church which had been using the building for its religious
services.
But the project proved short-lived, with League leaders in the wealthy
Lombardy region, which includes Bergamo, announcing they would halt the sale by
using a 2004 law that enables them to intervene and safeguard cultural sites.
“I
would never put a Church on sale and I am amazed that the hospital management
did not realize what a sensitive issue this is,” Lombardy President Attilio
Fontana, a League politician, wrote on Twitter. “However, we will exercise our
right of first refusal (for the sale) and there will be no space for any
appeal,” he added.
Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini
- His decision means the region must now buy the property. League leader Matteo Salvini warned earlier
this year that Italian culture and society risked being eradicated by Islam.
“Centuries of history risk disappearing if Islamization, which up until now has
been underestimated, gains the upper hand,” he said in a statement. More here.
There
is a discussion in the Reuters story about the demographic change
in Italy. The story suggests that the Muslim population is still relatively
small, but we know that the size doesn’t have to grow that much before demands
for religious accommodation begin.
Mosques
become a place around which Muslim communities build (even if there aren’t many
practicing Muslims in the area when the mosque is first opened).

Comments
There is a case to be
made that Islam is a form of government with a consistent history of invasion
and violence. This is incompatible with Italian law. It is not a religion a
non-Muslim country can allow.
