Italy: 40 Muslim migrants engage in ‘Islamic ritual’ of mass sexual molestation on New Year’s Eve

The whole world is talking about this happening in Britain now, but not
about how it also happens elsewhere. And why? Yes, sexual molestation
happens all over. But we see Muslim migrants involved in this kind of
story is seen on a not infrequent basis. Why? One reason may be because
such treatment of infidel women is sanctioned in the Qur’an.
In France, a Muslim quoted Qur’an while raping his victim. A survivor
of a Muslim rape gang in the UK has said that her rapists would quote
the Qur’an to her, and believed their actions justified by Islam. Thus
it came as no surprise when Muslim migrants in France raped a girl and
videoed the rape while praising Allah and invoking the Qur’an. In
India, a Muslim gave a Qur’an and a prayer rug to the woman he was
holding captive and repeatedly raping. And the victim of an Islamic
State jihadi rapist recalled: “He told me that according to Islam he is
allowed to rape an unbeliever. He said that by raping me, he is drawing
closer to God…He said that raping me is his prayer to God.” In India, a
Muslim kidnapped and raped a 14-year-old Hindu girl, and forced her to
read the Qur’an and Islamic prayers. In Pakistan, another Christian
woman recounted that her rapist was also religious: “He threw me on the
bed and started to rape me. He demanded I marry him and convert to
Islam. I refused. I am not willing to deny Jesus and he said that if I
would not agree he would kill me.” Rapists demanded that another girl’s
family turn her over to them, claiming that she had recited the Islamic
profession of faith during the rape and thus could not live among
infidels.
The Qur’an teaches that Infidel women can be lawfully taken for sexual
use (cf. its allowance for a man to take “captives of the right hand,”
4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30). The Qur’an says: “O prophet, tell
your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw
their veils close around them. That will be better, so that they may be
recognized and not molested. Allah is always forgiving, merciful.”
(33:59) The implication there is that if women do not cover themselves
adequately with their outer garments, they may be abused, and that such
abuse would be justified.
“Two Britons among NYE Milan victims – media,” ANSA, January 10, 2025:
Two young British citizens were among the victims of attacks reported
amid New Year’s Eve celebrations in Milan’s Piazza Duomo, including a
group of friends from Belgium, Belgian newspaper Sudinfo reported on
Friday.
One of the six young Belgian women from Ličge who reported the alleged assault was questioned by the Italian police on Friday.
The two British nationals, “a girl and her boyfriend, met the six young
people from Ličge in Milan in the afternoon of December 31 and got
together with them.
“The two then went to the police and filed a complaint”, reported the French-language newspaper.
Milan prosecutors have opened a probe into allegations that the six
young Belgians were sexually assaulted by second-generation North
African men in the northern city’s Piazza Duomo.
The reported assaults and molestation were allegedly carried out by
Islamic men, some of whom also allegedly waved their national flags and
disparaged Italy, according to the Italian media.
“The ‘Islamic ritual’ as in Cologne. The hypothesis of the prosecutor’s
office on the violence in Piazza Duomo,” translated from “Il ‘rituale
islamico’ come a Colonia. L’ipotesi della procura sulle violenze di
piazza Duomo,” by Francesca Galici, Il Giornale, January 9, 2025:
The Milan prosecutor’s office is proceeding with the investigations for
the sexual assaults in Piazza Duomo on New Year’s Eve against 6 Belgian
tourists, 4 girls and 2 boys. According to the investigators, they
could be linked to the phenomenon of “taharrush game” or “collective
harassment” as a sign of contempt for women. This is one of the
hypotheses currently on the table of the investigators. From the
investigations there would be other people attacked.
Tomorrow, the detectives from the Flying Squad will travel to Belgium
to gather the exact information on the exact location of the alleged
attacks.
“The first thing I said to my best friend, who I was holding by the
hand, was: ‘I’m going to die.’ I felt that something serious was about
to happen. I felt really dirty, everything was beyond my control”, said
the student who is acting as a spokesperson for all her friends to the
cameras of Dritto e Rovescio on air this evening. “We didn’t file a
complaint in Italy directly because at the time we didn’t realize the
gravity of the facts. Since we had a return flight the next day, we
only had one day to realize everything. We were in shock and we spent
January 1st talking about it among ourselves to process it, it just
didn’t occur to us,” continued the young woman.
The investigators’ hypothesis is currently only a hypothesis, which
will have to be verified. There are no suspects or even identified
individuals. It will be essential to view all the images, collect
testimonies and, above all, hear the victims’ stories. In addition to
the 6 young people, there are other people who have been harassed, as
also emerges from the story of the Belgian student: “I escaped thanks
to an Italian gentleman who was between 40 and 50 years old: he wanted
to save his wife, who was screaming with all her strength, and he
dragged me along, too.” The investigation is extremely delicate, the
team in charge is the same one that also followed the case of
harassment in Piazza Duomo in 2022, when there were about ten women and
girls harassed, always by foreigners or second-generation individuals.
It will take weeks before reconstructing the facts and reaching some
certainty. Two of the individuals identified in the square that night
have already been repatriated to Tunisia, but now the prosecutor’s
office is pushing for answers on the reported violence.
“Italian police investigate mass sexual molestation on New Year’s Eve,” by Nick Squires, Telegraph, January 11, 2025:
Italian authorities are investigating allegations that young women,
including at least one from Britain, were molested by gangs of men
carrying Palestinian and other flags on New Year’s Eve.
Six young Belgian tourists who were on holiday in Milan claim they were
surrounded by a group of around 40 men and subjected to a terrifying
ordeal in which the men put their hands up their skirts and tops.
The men are suspected to have molested other women, including some
Italians and an unknown number of tourists from Spain and South
America….
Italy to expel 700 suspected militants
ISN SECURITY WATCH (16/08/05) – The Italian
police on Monday said they had arrested more than 100 suspected Muslim militants
and planned to expel hundreds more in a massive “anti-terror” sweep made
possible by new legislation granting broader powers to police.
More than 141 suspected militants have been
arrested, and officials claim to have questioned 32,000 suspects since the
introduction of new anti-terrorism legislation last month.
In late July, the Italian parliament passed
legislation granting greater powers to police and making it easier to detain
people on suspicion of membership in a militant group. Civil liberties groups
have harshly criticized the legislation.
The move comes only weeks after one of the
suspects in the failed 21 July attack on the London transport system, Hussain
Osman, was detained in Rome. Osman is among 701 people Italy plans to expel or
extradite for alleged involvement in terrorist activities.
The arrests also coincide with warnings
from Italian Interior Minister Giuseppe Pisanu, who said that though there was
no specific evidence of an impending attack, the risk was real and had forced
Italy into an intense and prolonged state of alarm in the wake of the July
bombings in London and Egypt.
Pisanu said security had been stepped up
around more than 13,000 “sensitive targets”, mainly airports, train stations,
ports, museums, art galleries, embassies, and places where large crowds gather.
Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi also
issued warnings, saying: “A possible terror attack looms over us, but we’re
doing everything we can through our secret services. We are on maximum alert.”
The interior minister, know for his
hard-line stance against illegal immigrants, stressed that the public should not
confuse the threat of Muslim terrorism with Islam or Muslim culture. He called
for a continued dialog with “moderate Muslims”.
Pisanu also said Italy’s decision to deploy
troops to Iraq to support the US-led occupation forces had nothing to do with
perceived terrorist threats in Italy, despite threats that have specifically
mentioned Italy’s involvement in Iraq.
Italy currently has 3,000 troops deployed
in Nasiriya in Iraq.
Muhammad al-Masaari, the editor of the
conservative Muslim website al-Tajdeed, warned that Italy was “certainly at risk
[of an attack] while it remains in Afghanistan and Iraq”.
“Italy’s Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi
loves money, and he will realize that following the Americans in their military
expeditions is not profitable,” he said, adding that withdrawing from Iraq would
not solve the issue unless the step was followed by a similar decision on the
Afghanistan deployment and all other military missions Italy is involved in.
Civil rights groups speak out
Italy’s new anti-terrorism legislation
allows police to detain suspects for up to 24 hours, eases restrictions on
internet and telephone surveillance, and clears the way for DNA samples to be
taken without consent.
The legislation also makes it a crime to
train people to prepare or use explosives without government authorization, and
offers incentives for those who provide authorities with information about
terrorist activities.
But the measures have drawn criticism from
civil liberties groups.
Amnesty International (AI) told ISN
Security Watch it was “deeply concerned that the new measures approved by the
Italian government violate internationally recognized human rights laws and
standards” and that the “current expulsion procedures for over 700 individuals
may result in cases of refoulement,” or persecution in their home states.
“Amnesty International would like to remind
Italy of its obligations under customary international law to respect the
principle of non-refoulement, i.e., the prohibition on sending anyone to a
country or territory where that person would be at risk of serious human rights
violations,” an AI spokesperson told ISN Security Watch.
Two people are being held for possession of
false documents, while others are being held for a number of minor offences. The
Interior Ministry said none of those arrested had actually been charged with
terrorist activity.
In the meantime, Italian officials said
authorities would stage mock operations across the country next month to test
the nation’s ability to respond to a terrorist attack “with the aim of
maintaining public order, of ensuring swift aid, correct information, and prompt
start of investigations”, the ministry stated.
In Rome, Mayor Walter Veltroni , while
appealing for calm, admitted that the locks to the entrances of 49 subway
stations had been changed as a precaution, but was quick to stress that the city
was operating normally.
“Rome is serene, full of tourists, despite
all those proclamations on magazine covers that indicate it as one of the
targets of terrorism,” the mayor said.
