Rome, November 18 (Adnkronos) – “The fight against Islamization is and will be a challenge in the coming decades, and only we in the League will face it bravely, without deviating from our values. Every day the news reports very serious episodes of Muslim girls being threatened, beaten or worse because they want to live in the Western world or refuse the veil.” So MEP Silvia Sardone, at the event ‘Europe: our roots. Our civilization. How to defend ourselves from Islamic radicalism promoted by ‘Patriots for Europe’.
“We believe that the veil is an instrument of oppression – he continued – and for this reason we have put forward the proposal to ban it in public places, starting from schools: a choice of common sense and freedom, to protect women’s rights and true integration. At the same time we consider it important to stop the growing Islamization of schools, where inappropriate initiatives such as the closure of institutions in the month of Ramadan or school visits to mosques are increasing. This is not the way we promote integration, also because we end up trampling on our values.”
“In fact, we are increasingly witnessing episodes of censorship of our culture in order not to offend ‘newcomers’. Therefore, we believe that it is important to spread the message of freedom and pride in our identity, despite the threats, including death, that we receive almost every day. And with the Islamization Observatory, we are following up on our complaints and reports, with the aim of offering the Government a useful tool to fight this increasingly worrying phenomenon”, he concluded.
