After banning prayer, an Islamic center receives burnt pages from the Qur’an in an Italian city. “It was painful, a serious insult that we never expected,” said association president Bo Konaté.
The message was a threat, resulting from a hate campaign. The number of Muslims in Italy is estimated at about 2.6 million people, which constitutes 4.3% of the population. 44% of them hold citizenship, while the rest retain the nationalities of the countries from which they originate.
