07/14/2008: "Italy: Mosques must recognize Israel"

Italy may take its discriminatory practices to a new level, calling for measures to make mosque leaders quit unless they recognize Israel.

Action must be taken so that mosque supervisors recognize Israel, said European Affairs Minister Andrea Rochi.

We must force those who do not recognize Israel to leave the mosques, he added, according to Italian news agency Il Tempo.

Many Muslims around the world do not recognize Israel, saying the United Nations had no right to allow the establishment of a state in a land that has long belonged to the Palestinians.

[ That's a bit like making mosque leaders have to serve a banquet of port to worshippers on Christmas day. Making them have to recognise Israel is an interesting way to justify leaning on Muslims to leave the country. Let's hope it works. Jews can't complain... ]

"Typical philo-Semitic political pandering."

Odd, since Palestinians are true Semites while most jews are not!

I hope their next step is to force their Jews to recognize Jesus Christ as the Messiah, but that's highly unlikely.

Do synagogues have to recognize the right of Palestinians?

Typical philo-Semitic political pandering.
