"I killed my sister because she muddied the honour of our family," he told police, La Repubblica newspaper reported.

A murdering thug worried about his family honor. Bizarre to say the least.

Sicily and Corsica (and many other places in the Mediterranean) were Moslem for centuries.

After they were re-Christianized, the traditionalists "went underground". That's the origins of your Mob.

They don't even know why they do this stuff anymore.

One of my old secretaries grew up in a Mob controlled neighborhood in Brooklyn. She dated a cappo. Finally, she broke up with him (when several of her cousins and uncles went to prison) and decided to cut other ties to the Mob.

Then she married a Jewish guy. She went to work for us while she was still in hiding and figured that a building full of cops was a good place for someone in her position to work.

Finally, she had a baby. The day the baby was born, a formal family peace was declared and she was able to get on with her life and not have to hide from her relatives.

In Italia or Sicilia I'm guessing that a marriage to a Jewish guy would have been considered illegitimate, but in America, once the baby arrived, it was OK.

This relative modernity on the part of the American Mob is probably result of the pioneering work done in Jewish/Mob relations by such luminaries as Meyer Lansky and Lucky Luciano.

The Mob has become Muslim????

Sicily was conquered by the Mohammedan horde and held for many decades. There is little difference there is between the Mohammedan horde and the Black Hand.
