Thousands of Muslims gathered in protest outside Romes 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 Romes police chief Nicolò DAngelo.
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.

If/When he wises up, send them back from whence they came.
In the U.S. that may be the case but in Europe where they have open borders, they’re not taking any chances.
when islam overuns Europe and whatever remains of the catholic church in Europe, catholics will quickly learn they do not worship the same god as muslims despite the catechism.
The Muslims would put the Colosseum back into use like the Taliban used soccer stadiums in Afghanistan for their executions. They forbid soccer so they had to use the stadiums for their own religious entertainment. The Colosseum would be made to order.
Ban Islam because if they take over the first thing they’ll do is ban Christianity
