"........In an essay on 'Islamic expansionism "published in a periodical of fundamentalist Catholicism have read as follows:" A special mention deserves the Rome mosque, whose first application for construction came to Mussolini by the Shah of Persia at the time. It likes to say that Mussolini's answer said that for permission to build a mosque in Rome it sufficed to build a church in Mecca, and permission was soon granted, but a famous photo of Mussolini, who shows him wielding the sword of Islam throws a lot of water on this legend . It seems that the character was not very much opposite to the building of a mosque in Rome and that only the decisive intervention of Pius XII, 'appalled' by the news, had crushed similar ambitions" The information, taken from an article in the Turkish Daily News on October 25, 2000 (which is mentioned in the notes), agrees in substance with what said to us in 1978 an official of the Islamic Cultural Centre of Italy, Prince Hassan Amanullah of Afghanistan : the Duce would have said that about the idea to erect a mosque in Rome, he was enthusiastic, but the presence of clerical power was an insurmountable obstacle. (Prince Amanullah's was putting the pro-Islamic view of Mussolini against the one of Almirante, who at the time argued against building the mosque of Monte Antenne, because he believed it would become a nest of "Palestinian extremists")......

The next phase of political Islamic Fascism opened in 1937, the year when Mussolini in Libya enters in mosques, pays homage to the tomb of Sidi Rafa mugiàhid, holding the Sword of Islam (6), receives the praises of the Islamic authorities (7) and in his speech at the Castle Square proclaims his part: "Fascist Italy wants to ensure the Muslim population of Libya and Ethiopia peace, justice, prosperity, respect the laws of the Prophet and also wants to demonstrate his sympathy to Islam and the Muslims the world over". However at this stage, according to De Felice, " in the intentions of Mussolini and Ciano the Arab paper"continues to be regarded as "a bargaining chip if he had opened a space ready for effective negotiations for an overall Mediterranean agreement between the Rome and London; so much so that, in the wake of the hopes raised by the conclusion of the agreements named 'Easter', Rome immediately froze aid to the anti-British movements in the Middle East and moderated the tone of the radio broadcasts of Bari "(8).

A typical case. It doesn't need to tell everything to your puppet-tyrants. They'll take decisions basing on more banal considerations, but the fruits will fall only in the Rome's nests. The fruits of an Arab "Risorgimento" of today?

".....Libya: Napolitano, let us not trample on the hopes of 'Risorgimento' of the Arab world
Last Updated: March 18, at 24:33
Turin, 18 mar. (Adnkronos) -''In the next hours Italy must take difficult decisions, engaged decisions, about the tough situation that has been created in Libya. But if we think of what 's been the Risorgimento as a great liberator and the liberal movement, we can not remain indifferent to the systematic repression of fundamental freedom and human rights in any country. We can not allow them to be destroyed, trampled on the hopes that you are on a resurgence in the Arab world, something crucial to the future of the world'' said the President of the Republic Giorgio Napolitano in his speech at the Teatro Regio in Turin during the celebrations for the 150th Unit 'of Italy.
''I hope - he added - that the decisions to be taken, therefore, are surrounded by the maximum consensus and awareness of the values united Italy embodies and that we must protect everywhere.''

Coincidentally.... Some Arab and Islamic nation flags (but also of East Europe nation) contain the same colours of the Italian one. But usually the Italian-like flags of the Islamic world are horizontal meanwhile the Roman Catholic ones (Italy, Hungary, Mexico) are shaped in a vertical stripes - the control of Rome over Islam?
