Islamic culture not compatible with European Values: Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni

Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni may have just touched a raw nerve with a loaded comment about Islam at a far-right gathering in her country. According to various media reports, Meloni's potentially explosive observation came at a political event held by the far-right Brothers of Italy in Rome, where she reportedly said that "there is no place for Islamic culture in Europe". Watch.

She is 💯 right. Why do we need to change a country's culture to accomodate Islam? Immigrants should honor the law of the land.

[TULAREBOYY]

She has more balls than our US leaders.

I am NOT racist. My European parents settled in Australia in the 1950s and had to prove they were assimilating. People who live in any country, particularly not their own, must adopt and adapt to the laws, regulations and culture. It simply does not work otherwise.

It's not a "loaded statement", it's a valid political opinion. Meloni is a blessing on Italy, Europe, and the world.

[kshitizsancheti]

I have not seen islamic countries changing laws to accomodate other religions. So why should other countries do the same?

[lillieberger]

What she said is not controversial, it’s just true.

[sdtsdt]

Finally, someone with the balls to tell the truth. Epic, that it's a woman!

[tibiionica]

We live in a world where the truth becomes controversial

[seventhuser]

It's not Islamophobia, it's Common Sense.

Spain here. I WISH WE HAD A PRESIDENT LIKE HER HERE, WITH HER HONESTY

[plumaguerrera]

Italy's Prime Minister is absolutely right.

[glamdring]

It's not just European Values...it's the entirety of western civilization.

[yalitorres]

We need more leaders like her. She has my vote. Not afraid to say the facts. Islam is not in anyway comparable with civilization. The west better wake up fast .

[Alex-wdxq]

nothing controversial about her views on Islam being incompatible with western christian values, its just a fact

[sandipanmandal]

She called a spade a spade, no controversy

[coop]

As someone who lived in Islamic countries for 12 years, she's spot on!

[americanpatriot]

She’s got more guts than her male counterparts. Now THIS IS A REAL LEADER!

[anikakhan]

I'm Muslim, I don’t think she said anything wrong. Her country, her culture, her choice

[graemearmstead]

We live in a strange world where stating the obvious is controversial. Good on her.

[willmoore]

Finally someone with the backbone to say it like it IS! She'll always have my vote. 👍
