To all these people saying the West should "tolerate" the Mulsims.

The Mulsims have flooded into Europe by the MILLIONS.

They DO force themselves onto local populations of Europe and the Europeans do not want them.

A few visiting Muslims might be ok...an invasion of millions is NOT OK!!!

Adam, NY , USA

The cult of tolerance is the death process of the West. There is no tolerance in Islam, only submission and Jihad. The time has come for Britain and Europe to resist Islamic colonisation and reverse the tide of its demographic conquest.

Karl Jones, Bradford, England

Practising Muslims who want a mosque as a place of worship have no intention of selling drugs, mugging residents or commiting any acts which goes against the local laws or shariah law. Does Richard Owen claim that muslims are exacerbated street crime and then have the intention of building a mosque?

Abdul Motin, London, UK

"Muslims have been trying to take over Europe for 2000 years. This is nothing new."

To Josh in London, you should check your facts because for a start the Islamic religion is only 1400 years old!

Thank goodness that some Europeans are not afraid to say that the mosque has no place in Europe's cities. It is a symbol of all that Western civilisation rejects.

Ben, Ottawa, Canada

All mosques and Islamic institutions in the West should be closed until such time as there are full and equal rights for Arab and Middle Eastern Christians, and until such time as there are churches and Christian institutions in Saudi Arabia.

Bob, Brisbane, Australia

Good to hear that at least somewhere in Europe, people are prepared to stand up to Islam. Shame we are too scared to do that here.

Tom , London, Great Britain

Oh,you liberals are the same all over,use this fine words as tolerance,human-rights and so on.
An if we disagree,then we are hmmmm..what's the word again,Theiso,yes we are..nazi's..hmm..
Do anybody know howe many are arrested in Europe because they stated another opinion than the goverment allows?

I can't go "home" my land was siezed in 1948 maybe if we stopped supporting aparthied's and dictatorships all of us would be "home". But until then I guess you have to deal with us. And if you don't like it invent a time machine and live in the "good old times" when people lived in chains!

Omar, NYC, THE U S of A

Josh, London,

I salute you, Northern League.
We need your brave stand here in Northern Scandinavia to.
And to the clueless people who wright in from England,(and elsewere)do you not now the sorry state in your own country?
So how is the situation for Christians living in majoritymuslim countries?

Ole H. Johansen, Oslo, NORWAY

Excellent news! We need to do something similiar here in the States.

Dustin, Moore,

If people stayed in their own country instead of settling in others country and trying to change that country to their liking this sort of confrontation would not occur. Uncontrolled immigration always leads to trouble and should be stopped

D Case, Newquay,

Dear Muslims,

You are no longer in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, or Tunisia. Your religion is not one we respect or wish to hear from. What you do in private, as long as it's legal, is your affair

Get over it, or leave.

Thank you.
The waking western citizens of the world

Mary, Alsace, France

why do people have probelm with muslims, why they don't leave them alone, why do they bothering them always
just leave them alone
they have a right to worship what ever they want like others
why do we people look at them as stranger
just leave them alone

sara, dallas,

Drug dealing, mugging and robbery are not Islamic Rights.

Andy Gill, London,

It is about time that Europe starts to clean up house. Italy must get rid of all its unwanted illegal immigrants, so must the other countries of Western Europe. Enough is enough, how many more can the old continent take in.
Unless immigration is stopped Europe will have troubles.

L.A. ISUFI, Bergen County.N.J, United States

"nazis alive and well in italy"
Get informed before making cheap comments.
Lega Lombarda is a federalist movement, not a fascist movement.
The neo-fascist in the recent elections did not reach the 4% of the vote required to be represented.
Mosque OK but on their own money, not ours.

Paolo, Milano, Italy

This is a good example of why we should not be in the EU, the WASP (White, Anglo-Saxon Protestant) nations have a pragmatic tolerant ethos, whilst the erstwhile Catholic Continetal Europeans are inclined to intolerant dogmatic fanaticism. Is Islamophobia the new politically acceptable anti-Semitism?

May, Hartlepool, England

Worrying developments, particularly with the rise of the Lega Nord. I am not particularly religious & in no way support extreme or inflamatory religious group. I believe in the right of a country to express its national religion but also the basic right to free religious expression. Balance is key.

Rita, London,

No One is saying they can't have a mosque, They are saying that they should pay for, and build their own! Ali-Karim and Caroline from CA would both certainly be offended if their local governments were suggesting that they should pay for the construction of a Baptist Church on public land.

Don P, San Jose, US

Thank God Europe at last starts to protect itself from this invasion. The US has it's own problems with unwanted invaders, and hopefully we will wake up too.If this sounds racist--too bad! If you feel "under siege", go home,and take your Sharia laws with you!
Forza!

mario, oronoco, USA

You see, what I do not understand is what has happened to the values of tolerance seemingly espoused by Europe and the US. Given the fact that the human rights system is strongest in Europe, surely Europeans should remember that one of the key rights is the freedom of religion??

SS, London,

Long live the League. I'm appaled that a teacher was suspended for defending equality between the sexes!

Oscar J., Copenhagen, Denmark

Why can't these people have a place to worship? I am allowed to attend my Catholic church, and they should have the same right.

Caroline, Fountain Valley, CA, USA

This article mentions a "perceived crime spree" but there is no further information. Is there or is there not a crime spree? Is crime up in that area and what percentage of the crime is committed by these new immigrants?

If you print an article, please provide the readers with the pertinent info.

IT IS ABOUT TIME THAT EUROPE STOOD UP - BRAVO BOSSI & NORHTERN LEAGUE - remember how the christians were driven from the Levant and how the churches were transformed into mosqus...........if they hate us why do they want to live with us ?

Mau, magliano, italy

Europeans should allow building new mosques in their countries only when Christian churches could be built in Saudi Arabia. In the meantime, Muslims in Europe can say their butts-up-heads-down-facing-Mecca prayers in their homes.

Pete, Ft Lauderdale, Fl, U.S.A.

More power to the League. Europe is still just about a Christian region, and it is from Catholicism that Europe was born and raised. I hope to see such local action not only in Italy, but all over Europe, and, please God, in England too one day.

Benedict Carter, Moscow, Russia

Plurarism and pragmatism should be the virtue of democracy. Every citizen should have equal rights for freedom; rather a rise of Fascism is in the rise in the name of cheap politics. Those who believe in street creed and fascism and romanticizing the idea that will eradicate the corruption are fools

Al-Karim, NYC,

sounds like the nazi's are alive and well in italy ( ... and here in the us .... ). scary.

Teisho, Phoenix, AZ, USA

it's about time! wake up europe you need to worry less about your shoes and handbags and more about your keesters.
