The following video shows a recent incident in Naples. A detachment of soldiers was in the process of controlling (stopping and checking) an immigrant, when suddenly they were surrounded by dozens of hooting youths. It’s not clear what caused the culture-enriching mob to finally disperse. Fortunately, there were no casualties.

Collectively speaking, this was a probe of the Italian security forces, and through them, the Italian state. Without central direction or planning, the migrants are testing the authorities, assessing their strength in order to determine the moment when it will become possible to overwhelm the soldiers and incapacitate them, thus turning the surrounding neighborhood into a no-go zone under Muslim control.
