“Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini has outlined proposals for the security services to do more to observe and root out extremism in the country’s Islamic cultural centres.”

It is high time that a Western leader set such an example. The Muslim community should be eager to help and expose jihadist elements and hate preaching from within their communities, but many Muslim groups instead facilitate the spread of such doctrine by levying false “islamophobia” accusations whenever discussions are raised about the jihad and its doctrines, rooted in Islamic texts.

Catholic churches were heavily surveilled in Italy during Mafia investigations — and not only in Italy but also in New York City. It is no secret that some mosques and Islamic centers are hotbeds of jihadi doctrine, funded by Saudi petro-dollars as well as by Turkey, while Iran infiltrates Western countries through a fifth column and has promoted its jihadist doctrine through its Islamic culture centers.
