🅷Italy's Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, sparked controversy as she asserted that there is a "compatibility problem" between Islamic culture and the values and rights of European civilization.
ꦫMeloni addressed a gathering organized by her right-wing, ultra-conservative Brothers of Italy party, attended by UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and billionaire Elon Musk.
📖"I believe there is a problem of compatibility between Islamic culture or a certain interpretation of Islamic culture and the rights and values of our civilization," she stated, highlighting her concerns.
🌞Meloni also pointed out that a considerable number of Islamic cultural centers in Italy are financed by Saudi Arabia, a fact that does not escape her attention.
🌃Furthermore, the Italian Prime Minister criticized Saudi Arabia's strict Sharia law, where acts such as apostasy and homosexuality are considered criminal offenses.
☂"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," reportedly said Meloni.
💛Sharia law, rooted in the Quran and the Hadith, represents a set of principles and regulations constituting the foundational religious texts of Islam.
