Muslims Stage Massive Protest, Chanting ‘Allahu Akbar’ Outside Rome’s Colosseum
Breitbart ^ | 10/23/16 | Thomas Williams

Thousands of Muslims gathered in protest outside Rome’s Colosseum Friday after Italian authorities shut down a number of so-called “garage mosques” to avoid young people becoming radicalized.

The Muslim community of Rome chose the iconic Colosseum, a worldwide symbol of Christian persecution and martyrdom, to stage their demonstration against the alleged shutting down by police of illegal places of Muslim worship in the city.

An imam led the group in chanting “Allahu Akbar,” which means in Arabic “God is great,” as they prostrated themselves on the ground.

Many Roman citizens were visibly disturbed by the protest, noting that in its propaganda videos, the Islamic State has repeatedly employed images of the Colosseum when threatening to conquer Rome and the “Crusaders.”

New entrance gates have also been installed around the Colosseum to enable better surveillance and control by law enforcement, according to Rome’s police chief Nicolò D’Angelo.

A Bangladeshi Islamic group called Dhuumcatu reportedly organized the demonstration, saying that police had closed three makeshift mosques in Rome in the last few months.

Italian Interior Minister Angelino Alfano did not deny the allegations, and in fact in August said that “mini mosques in garages” should not be allowed as it makes them difficult to monitor, possibly raising the risk of radicalization.nd the Colosseum, after the Islamic State issued a new threat to “conquer” Rome in its latest video.

I just spent two weeks in Italy. The Italians got things pretty much under control, as compared with France, Germany and Spain, for example. They are still proud of their country and their culture and it shows everywhere. I felt very safe at all times. Especially since at almost every piazza they had a squad of actual soldiers with real weapons at the ready and who mean business.

Nope. Should have used submarines, and torpedoed their boats.

I notice it’s only the Italians who get it with regard to mosques and their role in radicalization. The rest of Europe - last I heard their governments tell their people to shut up and deal with it.

America - well, America calls their cult a religion of peace, makes muslims a protected class while taking away the rights of American citizens, and takes the name of islam out of the security handbooks.

Hillary and her team of Catholic haters approve. Perhaps even paid for it.
