No more Jizya in Italy - state funding for Islam is stopped + are you holding a "Koraneque"

The "religion" of Islam will no longer be state funded in Italy, this is good, The timing of this announcement cannot be overlooked, this announcement has been made in the middle of Ramadan, I do feel that there is an irony there somewhere.

Rome, 27 August (AKI) - Mosques in Italy will not receive a share of income tax revenue the Italian government allocates to religious faiths each year. Hindu and Buddhist temples, Greek Orthodox churches and Jehovah's Witnesses will be eligible for the funds, according to a bill approved by the Italian cabinet in May and still must be approved by parliament.

Until now, the government had earmarked 8 percent of income tax revenue for Italy's established churches. The great majority of these funds go to the Catholic Church, although if they wish, individual tax payers may elect to give the money to charities and cultural projects instead.

The head of COREIS, one of Italy's largest Muslim groups, Yahya Pallavicini, said he was bitter that Islam had been denied the revenue from Italian income tax.

The Muslims in Italy will no doubt start the usual claims of Islamophobia etc and probably start threatening the state, this is only to be expected, indeed threats have already started emanating from the Muslim World.

The anniversaries of Beslan and 9/11 are approaching and Muslims are definitely feeling very vulnerable - and so they should, not only are they protesting about the GZ Mosque being objected to they are also threatening violence if the planned  Koraneque goes ahead - and it will. - we should all hold a "Koraneque"

Roughly 100 Indonesian Islamists

protested outside the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta on Friday, Agence France-Press reported, with some threatening holy war if the plan to burn Korans on the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks comes to fruition at the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Fla.

"No one will be able to control this reaction," Roni Ruslan, of Hizbut Tahrir, a radical organization than advocates Islamic law, told Agence France-Press. "We urge the U.S. government and Christian leaders to stop the crazy plan from this small sect. It's an insult to Islam and to 1.5 billion Muslims around the world."



The rest of Europe should now follow Italy's lead and stop funding Islam, a further step should be taken and prohibit any funding of Islam in Europe via Islamic countries, Saudi Arabia being the biggest provider of finance to the Islamic diaspora.

Speaking of Saudi Arabia I came across this little gem of an article that shows just how barbaric the Saudi's are

A MAID had 24 hot nails hammered into her hands , legs and forehead after daring to complain about her heavy workload, it emerged yesterday.

Her injuries came to light only after she had fled her Saudi employers after five months and returned home to Sri Lanka.

X-rays showed nails up to two inches long embedded in her hands and legs and over one eye. Her story is one of many being taken up with the Saudi government by Sri Lanka’s external affairs ministry.

Nearly two million Sri Lankans worked overseas last year, with an estimated 1.4 million working as maids and domestic helpers to rich Middle Eastern families. Many have complained of physical abuse or harassment. The woman in the latest scandal, LT Ariyawathi, a 49-year-old mother-of-three, got home days ago after her terrifying ordeal.

“The landlord and the wife of the landlord hammered 24 burning nails into her when she complained of the heavy workload,” revealed Kalyana Priya Ramanayake, of Sri Lanka’s Foreign Employment Bureau.

This is how they treat people who are NOT Muslim in Saudi, even if the maid was a Muslim she was not an Arabic Muslim and thus of much lesser status.
