ITALY: AUTHORITIES CLOSE CONTROVERSIAL ARAB SCHOOL
Milan, 12 Oct.
(AKI) - Local authorities in Milan have closed a controversial Arab school just three days after it opened. On Thursday the 130 elementary and middle high school pupils of the Italian-Egyptian Nagib Mahfouz school were not allowed to attend their lessons - which had begun Monday without the necessary local and national certification. An inspection by the fire brigades Wednesday declared the building unsafe and the school said it was ready to conform by Monday to safety standards - which would however reportedly require extensive work.
The school's announcement it was opening without the appropriate certification sparked a major controversy in Milan - with local conservative authorities calling for its immediate closure and the institute's director accusing the city of using red tape to stop a school destined to Muslim immigrants.

ARAB SCHOOL: IMAM MILAN, YES DIALOGUE, NO POLITICAL POLEMICS http://www.agi.it/english/news.pl?doc=200610101617-1169-RT1-CRO-0-NF51&page=0&id=agionline-eng.arab Court of Milan in which the trial that accuses him, together with 14 other Muslims, is in progress.

Or they can claim it's their land, like they did last year in the cartoon Jihad in Denmark "this land is ours", or like they do in Spain (Moroccan Arabs claim Spain to be "theirs"...) or like they do on Israel's land.
Perhaps the school could be renamed: "brainwashing tomorrow's psychopathic suicidal murderers"
Religion of peace my arse BUMP!
So when do the riots begin?
Fire Risk?
I seem to remember a Saudi girls school where the students burned to death because they were not allowed to exit the building due to improper dress.
I doubt Fire Codes mean much to these people.
You know, I'm just thankful I'm a Christian. Some day, perhaps soon, fellow Christians will be removed from this vile cesspool. This reply to you is off topic but when I look at what's going on out there, in general, and specifically compare it to Biblical prophecy ... I can't help but wonder if Islam is the evil religion hinted at that will command your worship and submission.
However it goes ... I won't be here for it and in that I rejoice!
