In an effort to protect Christianity in Italy:

Lombardy’s populist League-led local government has blocked plans to turn an old chapel into a mosque after an Islamic group outbid Christians at the auction of a church in Bergamo, northern Italy.

Italian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior Matteo Salvini named Islam as “one of the greatest threats to Italy” and stated months ago:

Centuries of history are at risk of disappearing if Islamisation, which has been underestimated until now, finally wins.

Before the rise of Salvini’s “populist” movement, a scenario was reported two years ago that demonstrated the direction that Italy was taking with respect to mass migration. Christians at the Church of St. Anthony in Ventimiglia were ordered to “pray in silence” by the Catholic charity Caritas, which facilitates mass migration to Europe, so as not to disturb Muslim migrants who were living there. The faithful were told by Caritas that they could not recite the rosary. The organization even boasted “that it contributes to and seeks to influence European Union (EU) asylum policies.”
