Mosques in Italy will not receive a share of income tax revenue the Italian government allocates to religious faiths each year. Hindu and Buddhist temples, Greek Orthodox churches and Jehovah’s Witnesses will be eligible for the funds, according to a bill approved by the Italian cabinet in May and still must be approved by parliament.
Until now, the government had earmarked 8 percent of income tax revenue for Italy’s established churches. The great majority of these funds go to the Catholic Church, although if they wish, individual tax payers may elect to give the money to charities and cultural projects instead.
The head of COREIS, one of Italy’s largest Muslim groups, Yahya Pallavicini, said he was bitter that Islam had been denied the revenue from Italian income tax.
“Work should be begun on legally recognising those moderate Muslims who have for years shown themselves to be reliable interlocutors who are free of and fundamentalist ideology,” he said.
Islam is not an established religion in Italy and there is only one official mosque in the country, Rome’s Grand Mosque (photo). Politicians from the ruling coalition cite radical imams, polygamy and failure to uphold women’s rights by Muslims immigrants as obstacles to recognising Islam as an official religion in Italy.
Until now, only the Catholic Church, Judaism and other established churches including Lutherans, Evangelists, Waldensians and 7th-day Adventists have received the income tax revenue from the Itallain government.
There are between one million and 1.5 million Muslims in Italy and 130 mosques linked the Muslim umbrella organisation UCOII across the country.

What do you have against Jews? If you aren’t a Muslim you are an “Infidel?. Do you ever hear Jews claim that if you aren’t a Jew that you are an infidel? Only Muslims say “Death to infidels…death to Europe”.
Mami,You must be muslim. Muslims are barbarians:

Fuck u both, jew and muslim, stay out of my Holy Europa, filthy rats. Cuz if you don’t, in another WW we will finish what we started.
You are a fool. Muslims hate anyone that isn’t Islamic. If YOU are not a Muslim they hate YOU.
What have you got against Jews? Jews don’t say “Death to the infidel” or “Death to Europe”.Muslims DO!
Hei Jew you country will not long last over 100 years.
Allah SWT says: “Those who disbelieved of the Children of Israel were cursed (in the book of Psalms and the Gospel) through the tongue of David and Jesus son of Mary. That is because their ‘rebel’ and ‘always intrude. “(Al-Maidah: 78)
You European shall blame yourself!!!! Who responsible spreading ideology of secular capitalism, liberalism and many more. See this in holy quran.
“Jews and Christians will not be pleased with you until you follow their religion (which is distracted)” (Al Baqarah: 120)
Islam is anathema.Islam has NO tolerance for whom they call “Infidels”,no tolerance of Judaism or Christianity. Islam is conversely NOT entitled to be respected. Long live Israel. Death to Islam.
The governments do everything they can to divide Christians and Muslims. There is a German proverb: “If two people or groups are battling, there is a third one that is laughing.” Now guess who this third one is!
Christians and Muslims should hold together and see the real enemy!
Muslims are anathema. They are degenerate miscreants and contradict Judeo-Christian precepts.Muslims are not the friends of Christians or Jews,or anyone else,other then Muslims,for that matter.Muslims are their MORTAL enemies
I assume that you were referring to Jews as the “Third group”,you anti-semite.
No, I was not referring to Jews. There are a lot of wonderful Jews like Daniel Barenboim, Aaron Russo, Sharon Kam, Anna Baltzer, Rabbi Moshe Arie Friedman and many more. I was referring to a group of super rich persons that pull the strings behind the politicians. This group wants to enslave us and would like to exterminate billions of people. Have you ever heard of the Georgia Guidestones? Think about it! And deal with subjects like 9/11, chemtrails, aspartame, vaccines and so on. Then you might see a little bit clearer about what is going on in the world!
By the way, your hateful vocabulary discredits you in the eyes of most people!
My “Vocabulary” appropriately describes the overt danger that Islam presents to the world. Your defense of Islam indicate that you ARE an “anti-semite”. Why didn’t you include Jews in your statment that “Christians and Muslims should hold together and see the real enemy”? Aren’t these “super rich persons” the enemies of Jews also?
My neighbors are Muslims, about 5 to 10 percent of the inhabitants of our city are Muslims, and we live together in peace. I cannot see any danger at all. But if the politicians and the media wanted it, they could probably create a civil war between Muslims and Christians. Sometimes I think they do. And that is what I want to avoid.
There is not one Islamic state that threatens Europe. But Martin van Crefeld, Jewish Professor, mentioned, Israeli nuclear missiles could hit for example Rome, and Israeli planes could throw nuclear bombs to all European cities. These people are not religious Jews but Zionists.
Islam is NOT a “Religion” and should NEVER be subsidized by civilized society:
