[HIGHLIGHTS] Abu Al-Khair Barish: We ally with groups in Italy to repel the wave of homosexuality and atheism

Head of the Islamic Center in the Italian city of Trento tells Al Jazeera Net that one of the biggest challenges facing Italian Muslims is the rising wave of homosexuality and atheism. Abu Al-Khair Breish says the center's interest in teaching Arabic remains a sacred effort.

The center provides general services to Muslims and non-Muslims, including job search and housing services, translation of documents, and cultural and religious mediation. Breish: Much of the mediation carried out by the Islamic Cultural Center contributes to resolving problems between Muslim workers and employers.
