On September 5, this blog discussed the social debate over the construction of a sensationally beautiful mosque in Cologne. Now, there is news that conservative forces in Italy are also attempting to limit the construction of mosques. Reuters reports that "polls show Italians mistrust Muslims, and a third do not want a mosque in their neighborhood." The main question now is whether the Northern League will be able to push through a bill of regulations on the construction of mosques. The law will , for example , ban minarets, block mosques from being built near churches, and forbid loudspeakers. There are more than one million Muslims in Italy.
