ITALY: MUSLIM BODY TO DRAFT CITIZENSHIP REFORM PLAN FOR CABINET

Rome, 14 June (AKI) - Italy's Consulta, a government-appointed body on Muslim affairs, will draft a reform plan to change the country's citizenship laws and present it to the new centre-left government of Romano Prodi, its members said on Wednesday after meeting Interior Minister Giuliano Amato. The Consulta's panel, which includes people from a wide range of backgrounds and from ten Muslim nations, asked at the meeting for a law making it easier for immigrants to acquire citizenship. They will present their proposals within the next three weeks.

Under the Consulta's proposal to the cabinet, which was sworn in last month, immigrants applying for citizenship would have to wait nine rather than approximately 15 years before becoming Italian and their children born on Italian soil would automatically be citizens. Today, the offspring of immigrants have to wait until they turn 18 before being allowed to apply for citizenship.

Amato reportedly told the Consulta that a reform of citizenship laws was "one of the first objectives" of the interior ministry.

Citizenship is a "key element for real integration and the putting down of roots by immigrant communities in Italy, of which Islamic culture and religion is a significant part," said an interior ministry statement issued after the meeting.

Don't believe it when they say they want to integrate, they want YOU to submit.

"Don't believe it when they say they want to integrate, they want YOU to submit."

And that's what they're doing in Italy without even needing to be pushy to do it. There are quite a few online publications in Arabic and Italian there. It's all the rage.

Ask the people of France if Citizenship for Moslems makes them integrated. Maybe Italy is too close to France to even see the troubles that the French are having or to politically correct to call a spade a spade!

Thats ludicrous. You do not get citizenship to help you integrate, you get citizenship when you have integrated.

[Deo volente]

"Arrivederci, Italia."

[A. Pole]

Thats ludicrous. You do not get citizenship to help you integrate, you get citizenship when you have integrated.

You misunderstand them, they mean "integration" their way: it is Italians who will have to integrate and in the end sumbit or leave.

BTW, it is good time to plan evacuation of the greatest pieces of Italian art.
