Italy's far-right slanders a rescued aid worker for converting to Islam

[dBSPL]

The 25-year-old aid worker said her conversion to Islam was spontaneous and not forced, but far-right politicians still targetted her with hatred.

Italian aid worker Silvia Constanza Romano returned to her home in Rome on May 12 after being held captive for 18 months by Somali militants in east Africa.

Soon after her arrival, the news of her conversion to Islam made round on the internet. The declaration riled up Italy's far-right, with Nico Basso, a rightwing 'Venetist' town councillor in Asolo, sharing a photo of her on Twitter and saying “hang her”. He was quick to delete the post.

Romano insisted that it was not a forcible conversion as she became Muslim by choice during the captivity and took the name of Aisha.

"It was spontaneous and not forced. In these months I was given a Koran and thanks to my captors I also learned some Arabic,” she said.

“They explained their reasons and culture to me. My conversion process has been slow in recent months. There was no marriage or relationship, only respect."

Romano, 25, was kidnapped in Kenya's southeastern coastal town of Chakama in November 2018 and taken to Somalia.

The online hate campaign against her was so unrelenting that the Italian police said she may be given police protection.

Deputy of Lega, the far-right party under Matteo Salvini’s leadership, Alessandro Pagano attacked her for being “neo-terrorist” in his speech at the country’s chamber of deputies.

President of the Chamber of Deputies Roberto Fico slammed hatefully addressed words, considering it violent and unacceptable.

President Fico added that the chamber is not a place to insult a young woman who has gone through 18 months of hell.

Pagano’s words sparked debates among Italians while some saw his comment as part of institutionalised hate.

Many Italian Twitter users debated under the #SilviaRomanoAisha hashtag. Some users show their solidarity with her decision while some others targeting her decision of adopting another religion.

There are reports that Turkey's intelligence service played a vital role in tracing the whereabouts of Romano.

Italy's deputy foreign minister acknowledged Turkish cooperation during the rescue operation.

“There had been cooperation with the Turkish intelligence service to locate her and take action at the right time,” Marina Sereni told LA7 TV channel.

We are talking about a UN recognised state whose rights are being trampled here.

Not important, there are idiots in every country.

Europeans will simply keep crying and soon be a minority within their own country

within one generation we have gone from nothing to over 25 million muslims in Europe

within another generation we will go to 75 million

Sweden will be 30%, Germany 20/%, France 20% Austria 20/% and UK even 20/%

all this even with zero immigration

Guys this is the face of the neo-nazis far reich that hates Chinese and Muslims.

White Muslims they want to exterminate.

Their political party in Italy is the Lega, who wanted expel Southern Italians from parts of Italy.

We know that the majority of Italians are sensitive and civilized in this regard. However, in history, we have also seen that Italy's populism-based extreme rightist movements have been able to use conjunctures very well. Therefore, such events should be followed carefully despite everything.

What for do you want to own European lands? When Europeans become minority it will not be Europe anymore. Europeans will leave Europe for Canada or Russia and you will have just another a-la Middle East territory. Not to speaking European climate in 50 years will be like Northern Africa today.

we don’t it’s just a reality of time

and Middle East was a peaceful place for over a millennium until Europeans started messing around, look what you did to Africa

so we need to civil Europeans and stop them from killing another 80 million native Americans

It does not work that way - you can not civil peoples with better science and industry than yours. You need firstly to become more developed nations than Europe, and then civil them.
Middle East always was a mess with some periods of stability - so as any other region of the world.

You have a Mussolini element in Italy. Not all Italians are obviously like this.

Science, industry and being more developed doesn't equate to being civilised.

Just because someone is educated doesn't make them civilised. A highly educated person can be very uncivilised. Just like an uneducated person can be highly civilised.

The definition of being civilised as as follows: person or their behaviour is civilized, they are polite and behave in a calm and reasonable way.

If we are speaking about persons, not about nations - I am very doubt people in Middle Eastern countries or any other region of the world could claim they are more civilized then people of European nations.
And I am even more doubt migrants moving to Europe because they want to open some politeness educational centres to make Europeans more calm and reasonable. Moreover I am sure migrants just want more money and better life.

There is a difference between the Europeans that welcome refugees and the far right Europeans that you are defending.

Yes, the Europeans that don't resort to hate and slander are civilised. The Europeans that adore far-right politics and resort to hate are uncivilised. No two ways about it.

You cannot make sweeping statements about nations or civilisations being civilised or uncivilised. There are elements or pockets within all societies that are civilised and uncivilised.

The Mongol Russians and the Western European barbarians will never learn, if they kill billions with nukes, they think that is civilization.

Europeans think these mass genociders were the most civilized barbarians ever, because they were taught metallurgy and used the bronze and other materials to make weapons to genocide whole continents of stone age people.

Those that taught them metallurgy were the people of the Caucasus Mts and they used bronze mostly to make cultural items and had a real culture. Not hacking and killing. Weapons are for defense and conquest, not genocide. The Russians are Mongols - their treatment of Ukrainians, Tatars, and various people of the Caucasus shows they are Mongols.

Then they want to lecture us who belong in Europe and who does not. Semites were in Europe before the barbarians. Syrians were in Europe before the barbarians. Anatolians were in Europe before the barbarians. Why are they no longer there. Because Mongol hordes of Indo-Europeans killed them off.

Otzi the Iceman was Middle Eastern.
