Italy’s prime minister Giorgia Meloni said that there is a problem of compatibility between Islamic culture and the values and rights of European civilization.
“I believe that there is a problem of compatibility between Islamic culture and the values and rights of our civilization,” Meloni said, according to Hindustan Times.
“The Islamic cultural centers in Italy are financed by Saudi Arabia where Sharia is in force. In Europe there is a very Islamization process distant from the values of our civilization!” she added.
The comments come after the Italian Prime Minister hosted a political festival organised by her party- the Brothers of Italy- in Rome which was attended by British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
Sunak said that he would push for global reforms to the asylum system while warning that the threat of growing number of refugees could overwhelm parts of Europe. He said that some enemies were deliberately “driving people to our shores to try and destabilise our societies”.
“If we do not tackle this problem, the numbers will only grow. It will overwhelm our countries and our capacity to help those who actually need our help the most,” the British PM said, adding, “If that requires us to update our laws and lead an international conversation to amend the post-war frameworks around asylum, then we must do that.”
