Milan, 18 June (AKI) - Young Italian Muslims have expressed their support for Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and journalist Magdi Allam, after death threats were posted in an Islamist website said to be close to al-Qaeda.
The Young Muslims of Italy (GMI) told Adnkronos International (AKI) that no Muslims should sympathise with these death threats.
"The association, Young Italian Muslims, expresses disdain and rejects the unacceptable violent threats that appeared in an internet forum, run by Muslims," said the organisation in a statement on Wednesday.
The death threats were directed at Berlusconi and Allam, an Egyptian-born journalist who converted from Islam to Roman Catholicism during the Vatican's Easter vigil in April 2008. Read more ...
