Muslims threaten to pray in the Vatican
Muslims are threatening to march to the Vatican if the Italian government doesn’t stop closing their mosques.
Italian authorities have been cracking down on unsanctioned mosques throughout Rome, citing land use, safety and building violations. One of the real reasons, however, is that they make it difficult or impossible to screen for extremism and terrorism.
In October thousands of Muslims protested outside of the Roman Colosseum, demanding that they be left alone to gather when and where they want.
