Storm Track Intimidation: "I Am the President of the Islamic Community of Como.”

From The Gathering Storm

Here’s more arrogant proof that Muslims do not see them selves assimilating intro their host countries. A Muslim shows his cards. He’s setting up his own Islamic nation in Italy. The storm is coming.
“We will prove that (Italian Prime Minister) Magdi Allam is a liar. He is an impostor inciting hatred". This is what was said by the spokesman for some Muslims in Como, who has already made headlines over the past few months due to a "clash" with the town council administration following the closure of an illegal mosque in via Pino, in the Camerlata area. For tonight, Sawfat El Sisi has promised a "peaceful but influential" protest in piazza Cavour, in which "dozens and dozens of Muslims will take part". This is why the police station has reinforced its services and the organizers of the meeting with the vice director of Corriere della Sera have said that they are worried. Tonight, as part of 'Parolario', a book festival set up in Como in its sixth year, Magdi Allam will be presenting his book "Io amo l'Italia. Ma gli italiani la amano?" ("I Love Italy. But Do Italians?").
Why the need for police at a book fair?
In the book, Allam speaks on the "clash" last year with El Sisi on September 17 during the book festival. "at a certain point", said Allam, "about a dozen bearded extremists with the traditional long white tunics made their way forcefully through the crowd. Leading them was Sawfat El Sisi, who began yelling: "I am the president of the Islamic community of Como. Magdi Allam is damaging Islam".

The Prime Minster took a very anti-dhimmi stand when El Sisi said, “I Am the President of the Islamic Community of Como.”

That, according to the journalist, was their harsh face-off. The PM then responded: “‘You cannot represent a community because in Como there is no community but only people who belong to the Islamic religion. You were not elected democratically. You are an impostor.' I am hoping that the man will use common sense this time".

But El Sisi doesn't seem to want to give up his "peaceful invasion of piazza Cavour".

"The population will find out that that man is a liar, a traitor who is trying to burn the bridge of peace between Christians and Muslims", he said, to then add: "We have found a way in which Allam cannot make us be quiet by using his arrogance. He will be ashamed and will leave Como like a dog with its tail between its legs".
The mosque that was closed in via Pino was often at the centre of anti-terrorism investigations and some of those who regularly attended it (including some "high-ranking" members) were extradited by Minister Pisanu, without forgetting the Gallarate mosque (Varese) where mercenaries were recruited to enlist for the "holy war". But according to El Sisi "it's all lies.

And I wonder where the ‘moderate’ Muslims were doing this exchange. Did they yell down the arrogant El Sisi or just stand ideally by with their hands in their pockets? Some day the Islamists are going to over play that hand.
