Shocking video - Is this from Italy or Islamabad?

Post by UpstateSCHokie »

Wow, Looks like Italy is doomed to the same fate as the rest of Italy. This is living proof for why leftists in power are so dangerous. Thank goodness we have President Trump and not some idiot like Obama or another Democrat that thinks we need more policies like Europe.

Shocking Footage Reveals Cultural And Demographic Transformation Of Italy (VIDEO)

Not Islamabad or Karachi but Italy.

A short video published online and spreading on social media offers a glimpse of the dramatic cultural transformation underway in Italy.

Purportedly filmed in Monfalcone, a manufacturing hub not far from Trieste, in Friuli Venezia Giulia province (Northern Italy), the video shows a large crowd of men leaving celebrations for the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan. The month-long fast observed by Muslims ended on Sunday.

Previously unknown to most Europeans, Ramadan and the celebration of Eid al-Fitr have become an increasingly significant part of the cultural landscape with socialist politicians in certain countries even calling for the Muslim celebration of Eid to be added as a state holiday.

A stream of men in traditional Islamic garb can be seen leaving the celebration, an uncontroversial sight for the Islamic world but remarkable given that the location is Northern Italy.

As with many European countries outside of France and the United Kingdom, mass immigration is a relatively new phenomenon to Italy, and is increasingly transforming its towns and cities. In a similar pattern to Ireland and Denmark, large scale immigration essentially began in the 1990s, with numbers exploding in the 2000s.

Meanwhile, on Italy’s southern coastline, huge numbers of African migrants continue to arrive daily, many ferried directly from the Libyan coast by well-funded NGOs and European naval vessels.

Official Italian statistics show the cultural and religious impact of this recent migration; while only 2,000 Muslims lived in Italy in 1970, the figure had risen to nearly 2 million by 2015, with a rapid increase since that time.

Excluding EU citizens, Italy counted just under 4 million foreign residents as of January 2016, out of a total population of 60 million. This figure also excludes illegal, or undocumented, immigrants.

Worryingly for Italy and its Catholic heritage, the country now has one of Europe’s lowest fertility rates at 1.35 children per woman, well below the replacement level of 2.1 required to maintain a stable population.

Video clips such as the one below are increasingly causing scandal amongst Italians, frequently circulating on social media and fueling a nationalist movement which seeks to stem the tide of arrivals.

While I agree controlling the border and immigration is a good thing and should be tightened up along our southern border, I can't see that video as proof of anything. It's a couple hundred guys leaving a mosque. If you drive by any church in this city around noon on Sunday you'll see the same thing — only women and children will also be participating. Would any of the millions of atheists who live here find that 'shocking?' I doubt it.
I don't care if you're a Democrat or a Republican... if you refuse to consider alternatives to the two parties, you support the Status Quo and you are a major part of the problem.

I agree. I've seen several of those videos. This ain't one of them.

I agree, it does show the cultural change occurring, 5 years ago you could not make that video is the point

I've been to Monfalcone in 2004ish while spending a few weeks in Trieste. I used to tell people how much nicer Northern Italy was compared to the south. Trieste had a very Bavarian feel to it.

The only riff raff at the time was gypsies, but they kept to themselves. This is quite a a demographic shift.
