Anna Maria Cisint has banned Muslim prayers in the Adriatic port town of Monfalcone in Italy.

Muslim residents became upset after an envelope containing half-burnt pages of the Quran was posted at the Darus Salaam Muslim Cultural Association.

The population of the town is increasing rapidly, with a huge number of Muslims of Bangladeshi origin. Mayor Cisint’s anti-Islam agenda and discriminatory policies have further fueled intolerance and tensions.

This will further cause issues within the town as the town Mayor continues to impose anti-Muslim laws.

Disgusting & intolerant act. Islamophobia at its peak. They hate Islam from the bottom of their heart. But they cannot do anything other than this & Insha Allah Islam will grow more under their nose. Wait & watch your own people will be torch bearers of Islam.
