Italy’s Georgia Meloni says no place for Islam in Europe: ‘Compatibility problem’

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said that the Islamic culture is not entirely compatible with European civilization, adding that she would not allow Sharia law to be implemented in Italy.

The Italian Prime Minister said that Islamic culture and the values and rights of European civilisation have a “compatibility problem”. “I believe there is a problem of compatibility between Islamic culture and the values ​​and rights of our civilization. Will not allow Sharia law to be implemented in Italy. The values ​​of our civilization are different!” said Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

In the video, the Italian Prime Minister was heard speaking in Italian.

Meloni’s remarks came at a political festival organised by her far-right party – the Brothers of Italy – in Rome. The event was also attended by British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. “It does not escape my mind that most of the Islamic cultural centres in Italy are financed by Saudi Arabia,” she further said.

Meloni also criticised Saudi Arabia for its strict Sharia Law.

Saudi Arabia is a nation that applies “Sharia Law and Sharia means lapidation for adultery and the death penalty for apostasy and homosexuality”. “I believe that these should be raised, which does not mean generalising on Islam. It means raising the problem that there is a process of Islamisation in Europe that is very distant from the values of our civilisation,” she added.
