Cultural conflict between Muslims and Christians in Italy

[SWORD OF SUNNA]

There are over 100 mosques in Italy, 65 of which are in the North. Italian Muslims are increasingly gaining official recognition, which helps them open mosques and Islamic schools. Many Muslims who originally migrated to Italy are now successfully bringing their families to Italy while others are marrying Italian women. In Italian schools, the majority of non-catholic students are Muslim. Cultural misunderstandings and differences between Muslims and Italians are increasingly leading to social tensions. Recently, some Muslims have requested that all crucifixes be removed from Italian classrooms.
Equipping Believers in Italy

During the last decade, Italian churches have started equipping believers in order to effectively evangelise Muslims yet these efforts are terribly small compared to the need. There are very few full-time missionaries who work among Muslims in Italy, and those who do have difficulty coping with all the demands that are placed on them. One effective evangelistic activity, which has been successful during Ramadan is the distribution of the "Jesus" video and evangelistic literature in the Arabic language in Italian harbours and airports. Many Muslims return to their native lands (Tunisians, Moroccans, Algerians, Senegalese, Libyans and others) for this time.

[SWORD OF SUNNA]

there are native Italians who have become Muslims. According to the statistics there are over 10-15 thousand of them, but possibly as many as 30-50 thousand. The vast majority of Italian Muslims, however, are the immigrants from approximately thirty countries of Asia and Africa. Those who have Italian citizenship and residence or work permits number 560 thousand. The total number of Muslim immigrants may well be between 700 and 800 or even up to one million.

Assalaam walaikum,

I do not see why the Italians are upset. They decided to join the coat tails during the first and second world wars. They marched and killed Muslims by the hundred thousands in Northern Africa. How can we forget the incarceration of the Muslims by the nasty little creatures.
Italians have always been racists.

And they need to look at their own backyard..the Vatican. Here you have one of the vilest groups of people. One of the richest countries in the world hoarding money. They play with the devil day in and day out. And they are covering up years of child sexual abuse. The Vatican is complict in its affairs with Israel.

I will stop before I become angry. The Romans raped Africa and it has never stopped. Nasty vile and mean creatures.
