Italy's Giorgia Meloni's old video viral: No place for Islam in Europe
Giorgia Meloni on Islam: Giorgia Meloni said, "In Europe there is a very Islamization process distant from the values of our civilization!"
An old video of Italy's prime minister Giorgia Meloni was widely shared on social media in which the premier scoffed at Islamic culture and said that there is no place for it in Europe. “I believe that there is a problem of compatibility between Islamic culture and the values and rights of our civilization," she can be heard saying.
The premier added, "The Islamic cultural centers in Italy are financed by Saudi Arabia where Sharia is in force. In Europe there is a very Islamization process distant from the values of our civilization!"
This week the Italian prime minister hosted a political festival organised by her far-right party- the Brothers of Italy- in Rome which was attended by British prime minister Rishi Sunak. In his speech, Rishi Sunak said that he would push for global reforms to the asylum system while warning that the threat of growing number of refugees could "overwhelm" parts of Europe.

He warned that some "enemies" were deliberately "driving people to our shores to try and destabilise our societies".
"If we do not tackle this problem, the numbers will only grow. It will overwhelm our countries and our capacity to help those who actually need our help the most," Rishi Sunak said, adding, "If that requires us to update our laws and lead an international conversation to amend the post-war frameworks around asylum, then we must do that."
At the annual gathering, Elon Musk marked a rare appearance as he met world leaders.
“Immigration isn’t enough to combat population shrinking,” he said, explaining, “There is value in cultures, we don’t want Italy as a culture to disappear, we want to maintain a reasonable cultural identity of those countries or they won’t be those countries,” Musk added.
