Italy declares state of emergency amid migrant invasion

Italy needs to do what Hungary has done: shut the door to illegal migration. It makes a mockery of a country’s immigration system, sending an open invitation to jump the queue, invites in the worst criminal and jihadist elements, and is economically unsustainable in the long run. Italy’s problem is longstanding. In 2021, nonstop Muslim migrant landings in Lampedusa became a “situation is out of control.” Lampedusa remains the problem area, as well as the entire Southern coast of Sicily.

Ignoring the problem has not made it go away, and now Italy is under a state of emergency in hopes of stopping the hijrah.



Italy declares state of emergency amid migration influx


by Federica Pascale, EURACTIV, April 12, 2023:


Italy declared a nationwide state of emergency on Tuesday for the next six months following the exceptional increase in migrants continuously arriving via the Mediterranean routes.

On Tuesday, the Council of Ministers led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni (FDI/ECR) declared a national state of emergency on immigration after the Civil Protection and Sea Policies Minister Nello Musumeci proposed it. The decision also comes after a meeting between Musumeci and Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi.

The state of emergency will be financed with an initial €5 million in funding.

“Let’s be clear. The problem is not solved, the solution to which is linked only to a conscious and responsible intervention by the European Union”, Musumeci said after the government decided on the state of emergency.

“There is a condition of absolute emergency. It is not a new fact (…) It is a problem destined not to be exhausted for at least the next ten years”, the minister told Radio Anch’io, stressing the need to “neutralise the mafia of the scapegoats”.

Last February, the Italian parliament approved the so-called ‘Code of Conduct for NGOs’ – a government decree establishing a code of conduct for ships intervening to rescue migrants – despite criticism from the UN and humanitarian groups.

Migration flows in recent months have strained State structures, according to Musumeci, who called for a “responsible approach” towards migrants and their rights.

In particular, the minister highlighted the difficulty in managing the flows arriving at the islands – Lampedusa and the entire southern coast of Sicily – areas where first reception hotspots are constantly collapsing.

The Easter weekend was busy for national authorities, with boats breaking down and migrants at sea whereby about 2,000 people were rescued….




Minneapolis to allow Islamic call to prayer 5 times per day


by Brittney Ermon, KSTP, 
April 13, 2023:

The Minneapolis City Council approved a noise ordinance change that will allow the Islamic call to prayer to be broadcasted from speakers in Minneapolis for all five daily prayers….

Religious leaders explained the fact it’s happening during Ramadan makes it even more special for the Muslim community, and they’re hoping other cities across the country follow suit….

“For something this historic to go this easy is an incredibly powerful and a testament of who we are in the city of Minneapolis,” Jaylani Hussein, the executive director of the Minnesota chapter of the Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR-MN), said.

And it's slightly terrifying! What will their next project be?

The newly passed ordinance expands the number of times a mosque can play a call to prayer on a loudspeaker from three or four times per day to five, year-round….

“It is really important for the city to approach all issues from a lens of ensuring equal access for all people,” Aisha Chughtai, a Minneapolis City Council member, said in a Thursday meeting.

Is it time for Christian churches to start ringing their bells again?

The ordinance was authored by Chughtai in collaboration with two other council members, who all make up the Muslim Caucus.

“I think it just adds to the fabric of who we are here in the city of Minneapolis — that Muslims are a part of the community and they live here,” Hussein said.

There are plans for Mayor Jacob Frey to give the ordinance the final stamp of approval on Monday.

I wonder what times the first and last calls are made?





A Houthi leader calls for killing Yemeni Jews with the sword


translated from “شاهد | قيادي حوثي يدعو إلى قتل اليهود اليمنيين بالسيف | الاسم والصورة” 
Newsmax1, April 13, 2023 


A leader in the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorist gang called for the killing or imprisonment of the Jewish community in Yemen.

Abd al-Rahman al-Ahnoumi
, the editor-in-chief of the official Al-Thawra newspaper, which is controlled by the Houthi gang, said: “The appropriate and legitimate dealings with the Jews – the Yemeni Jews – is that they either die by the sword or become dhimmis to the state.”

Because, that is how Mohammed told his followers to treat Jews.

And he added, in a brief tweet on his Twitter account: “The Jew of Abu Zinara… what you expect from them, they are the most despicable creatures and the most cursed of people.”

Al-Ahnoumi’s speech came in response to a Yemeni Jewish activist’s accusation on Twitter of the Houthi gang of being condescending to the Yemenis and glorifying their own bloodline.

The Jewish sect in Yemen has been subjected to grave violations by the Iran-backed terrorist Houthi gang, including killing, arrest, enforced disappearance, rape, and looting of their homes, lands and properties, leading to forced deportation from Yemen, according to human rights reports.
