The Latest: Italy: Muslims protest attackers' abuse of Islam
« on: November 21, 2015, 08:05:29 pm »

Hundreds of Muslims living in Italy have demonstrated in Rome and Milan against the "abuse" of Islam by those who carried out the attacks in Paris and Mali.

In Rome, hundreds gathered at the central Piazza Santi Apostoli chanting "no to terrorism" and holding banners reading "Not in My Name." In Milan about 500 demonstrated in Piazza San Babila with banners reading "Stop Terrorism" and "Terrorism has No Religion."

Yahya Sergio Yahe Pallavicini, vice president of the Islamic Religious Community of Italy, said in Rome that the demonstrators wanted to show a message of unity "of the healthy and predominant part of Islam in Italy" and distance themselves "clearly and vocally, from any abuse of our religion by criminals."

The number of Muslims in predominantly Roman Catholic Italy is estimated at 1.7 million.

Give these Muslims some credit.  They're sticking their necks out by protesting.

If I'm not mistaken, this is a first.  And, IMHO it should be applauded and encouraged!!   :thumbsup2:
