Italy's PM Giorgia Meloni is full of bologna! She just touched a raw nerve with an idiotic and fallacious comment about
Islam at a far-right gathering at a political event held by the far-right Brothers of Italy in Rome where she reportedly said that "there is no place for Islamic culture in Europe" and that "Islam is not compatible with European values." She firmly maintains that there will be no tolerance for Sharia law in Italy — a law that tightly governs the lives of its main followers, advocating severe punishments such as the death penalty for adultery and the execution of those who engage in homosexual activities.
Let's break it down about Islam's compatibility with Western values and you will be the judge.
Can Muslim parents force their children into a marriage?
The parents do not have the right to force their child to marry someone whom he does not want and if he refuses, he is not being disobedient towards them.
Can a Muslim man force his non-Muslim wife to convert to Islam?
Sheikh Muhammad Al-Mukhtar Ash-Shinqiti wrote on February 4, 2019:
1- A Muslim man is permitted to marry a chaste woman from among the People of the Book, i.e. Christians or Jews.
2- Before marriage, there should be mutual agreement between prospective spouses regarding that children should be brought up as Muslims and regarding who should take care of them in case of divorce.
3- A Muslim man marrying a Christian or Jewish woman is required to set a good example for her and be an ideal model of a good Muslim who should always be good towards his wife.
4- He should never force her to convert to Islam even if she chooses to remain a non-Muslim. But he can invite her to Islam using wisdom and good admonition.
Islam gives women more rights than their Italian counterparts
1,400 years ago, when Europeans were living in caves, Islam gave women the right to work education and inheritance. A Muslim woman is free to dispose of her money in any way she sees fit. The husband has the sole responsibility to provide for the family - that is to provide a dwelling, food, and clothing. The wife does not. However, if she did help, she gets double rewards in this life and in the hereafter.
Islam's position on LGBTQ
Islam categorically opposes homosexuality and considers it a sin. So do Judaism and Christianity. Why did Meloni focus only on Islam and ignored Christianity and Judaism? That is the definition of selective morality. That being said, Muslim doctors are advised to care for LGBTQ patients with compassion just as they would for others.
Why do Meloni and Trump hate Islam?
Donald Trump and Giorgia Meloni hate Islam and Muslims with passion and the reasons are that Islam strictly opposes alcohol, usury, and gambling, which are high sources of income for Western countries.
Islamic rule is based on consensus.
The companions asked Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) before his death, "Who should rule after you?" He told them, "Consult among yourselves." Which means the majority rule. After Prophet Muhammad's death, the companions decided who should rule by selecting Abu Bakr as the first caliph. The companions decided by selecting Abu Bakr as the first caliph.
The Quranic verse 4:59 of the Holy Qur’an clearly outlines the basic and main requirements for democracy. The people must take their vote as a responsibility and thus choose the most appropriate and suitable person to lead them. The Qu’ran then in turn exhorts those in authority to exercise justice. Further, it promotes dialogue and consultation to gauge public opinion and decide matters fairly as illustrated in 42:39. Muslims in the early era of Islam had this sense of responsibility.
Islamic Rules of War
Muslims can enter war only in self-defense or when oppressed. Anjum Ara wrote on July 25, 2018, about the rules of war in Muslim Memo, which was given by Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). Here are some examples:
* No killing of children and women
* No killing of elderly and sick persons
* No to heading into war “hoping” for a conflict
* Leaving the monks and those in places of worship alone
* No destruction of property, cultivated lands and crops, etc.
* No uprooting or burning of green and fruit-bearing trees
* No slaughtering of animals for reasons other than food
* No theft or robbery in the guise of war
* Avoiding destruction to an inhabited place
* Treating prisoners of war in a humane manner and offer them the same kind of food as their guards.
What does the above list tell us? Well, look at modern-day concepts of war such as in Ukraine and Palestine. How many innocent civilians die? Do the armies care about the elderly citizens, women, children, or the refugees? Had they paid even minor attention to the Islamic rules of war, none of the destruction, pain, and suffering would have happened.
Freedom of expression under Islamic law
Those who argue that Islam restricts freedom are grossly mistaken or simply deceived by the oppressive political regimes in the Middle East. It’s important not to confuse the religion of Islam with oppressive political and dictatorial rule such as in Egypt and UAE to name a few. I don't know much about Italy, but I do know that here in the US, the government can detain and expels international students, visitors, permanent residents, or even diplomats just for exercising their free speech or criticizing "Israel" without due process of law.
Muslims do not eat dead and electrocuted animals. Europeans do that
Unlike Europeans, Muslim consume the meat if the animal is alive at the time of the slaughter.
* The animal can't be sick.
* The animal can't be pregnant.
* The animal must be slaughtered by the use of a sharp knife and in one stroke without lifting the knife.
* It is recommended to offer water to the animal before the slaughter and it should not be slaughtered when hungry.
* The knife should be hidden from the animal and slaughtering should be done out of sight of other animals waiting to be slaughtered.
* The head of the animal must not be cut off during slaughter but later after the animal is dead.
* Skinning or cutting any part of the animal is not allowed before the animal is completely dead.
Tell me please which is the more compassionate and humane method of slaughtering animals.
Back to Signora Meloni who founded Brothers of Italy in 2012, which is a political descendant of the Italian Social Movement (ISM), formed by supporters of fascist dictator Benito Mussolini after World War II. Basically, Meloni is on track to becoming the country’s first far-right leader since Mussolini in World War II.
Meloni spoke of previous visits to Israel, including to the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum, which she described as “a conscience-shaking experience.” Israel represents the only fully-fledged democracy in the broader Middle East and we defend without any reservations to its right to exist and live in security. I believe that the existence of the State of Israel is vital and Brothers of Italy will make every effort to invest in greater cooperation between our countries,” she said. Meloni did not make a peep about the Israeli genocide in Gaza and nothing about the ethnic cleansing or the use of forced starvation as a weapon of war. Nothing about the over 6,0000 innocent people who were shredded to peace of whom 2/3 were women and children.
When the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrant for Israel Crime Minister Netanyahu and his war minister, Signora Meloni said there were "many doubts for ICC's arrest warrant and it was not feasible to arrest." Basically, she said to the ICC, "Screw you!"
Andrea Giambruno (her former boyfriend for 10 years) previously embarrassed the Prime Minister by suggesting that a spate of gang rapes of young women could have been prevented if the girls avoided alcohol. But Meloni defended him by saying, “He has been misunderstood. And I believe in freedom of the press, and I don’t tell him what to say.”
Meloni has broken up with her TV journalist boyfriend after he propositioned a co-host to a “threesome or foursome,” which led to the suspension of his television show. Meloni took to social media to announce the split from Giambruno who is, the father of their 7-year-old illegitimate daughter. According to Meloni's biography, Meloni's father was drug addict who spent time in prison.
Meloni participated in a telephone meeting during the Israeli genocide in Gaza with then-US President Joe Biden, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, French President Emmanuel Macron, and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz where they offered full and unlimited support to the terrorist state of Israel and "re-affirming Israel's right to commit suicide with impunity."
Giorgia Meloni is the first woman to hold the office of Prime Minister of Italy. Prior to her, all other Prime Ministers were men whereas eight Muslim-majority countries have elected women as heads of state. What seems to be the problem? It looks like women living under Sharia have more rights than their European counterparts.
Italy PM Giorgia Meloni spreads misinformation hates and fear about Islam. She has no moral authority to lecture the world about Islam. Giorgia Meoni is a woman full of baloney!
