Islamization in Italy

Francesca Galici, a writer for the Italian daily, Il Giornale, has an interesting article on the growing influence of Islam in Italy. Quoting the late  Italian writer and Islam critic, Oriana Fallaci, Galici describes how students at a university in Milan are buying into the Koran and a recent appearance by an Italian-Tunisian rapper at the San Remo Song Festival who performed a controversial song.

The article is translated by Fousesquawk.

“They favor Islamization”. How the Koran is in the universities and the songs of San Remo

12 February 2024-18:51

From reading the Koran at a pro-Palestinian, anti-Zionist event to the song of Ghali on the stage at San Remo, how young people are idealizing Islam and Islamic scripture.

Each day that passes, the “prophecy” of Oriana Fallaci becomes more real and concrete. After the attacks of 11 September 2001, the writer advanced a lucid and extraordinarily farsighted analysis of what the Western world would be with Islamization. “To delude ourselves that there exists a good Islam and a bad Islam, that is, not to understand that there exists one Islam, period, that all of Islam is a pond, and that at this rate, we will end up drowning in this pond, is against reason. Not to defend one’s own territory, one’s own home, one’s own children, one’s own dignity, one’s own being is against reason,” Fallaci wrote.

And who knows what she would write today, in the knowledge that at the state university, students of the left promote the reading of the Koran, now a fashionable book also on social media, where children, filled with propaganda, praise the sacred book of Islam. And who knows what she would say today, Oriana Fallaci, if she had listened to Ghali, the singer of Tunisian origin, who, on the stage of San Remo, had brought one of his songs, Bayna, in which the first verses are in Arabic, but especially, at a certain point, sings: Imagine the Koran on the radio”. A song that has given its name to a boat that he donated to the NGO, Mediterranea, tasked with the recovery of migrants then brought to Italy.

“Getting used to it, resigning yourself, surrendering out of cowardice or laziness is against reason. Dying of thirst and loneliness in a desert where the Sun of Allah shines in the place of the Sun of the Future is against reason. It is also against reason to hope that the fire will extinguish itself thanks to a storm or a miracle of the Madonna,” Fallaci also wrote. What would the journalist say today seeing crowds of young people who allow themselves to be convinced by the propaganda of a terrorist organization like Hamas, young people ready to unleash violence in the streets to defend a government like that of Gaza, which uses civilians as human shields?

And what would Fallaci say in the face of children who do not recognize their own roots in the West as they praise the sacred texts of Islam.? “Read it well, those of Mein Kampf, and whatever the version, you will draw the same conclusions: All the evil that the sons of Allah do against us and against themselves come from that book,” she said (in the years 2000-2010). Those same arguments, with which the Islamic terrorists threaten the West today, fortified by a new generation that is growing up with the myth of the Koran.

“It is already evident to all that a certain left is favoring the Islamization of our society. What happened at the University of Milan is just an example, where passages of the Koran were read during a pro-Palestinian, but above all, an anti-Zionist event, in which youth representatives of the Democratic Party also participated, effectively supporting extremist positions,” reads a note from the group leader of the Lega in the Lombardy Region, Alessandro Corbetta. “To which is added these days the mythologization of the Italian-Tunisian rapper, Ghali, who, at San Remo, sang in Arabic, attacking Israel and praising the “new Italy”, imagining that the Koran would be on the radio. We will not bow to the Islamization of our country, and we will continue to defend our culture, which has its roots in Christianity and in the liberties that we have won in Europe,” Corbetta added.
