Italy: 21-year-old Moroccan "under the influence of drugs" killed seven cyclists and injured three others. by sheikyermami on December 8, 2010 An unlikely "accident". Sudden Jihad Syndrome sounds more like it. And the lame stream media worries about "intolerance". Tolerate it, infidel: You start wondering when the media insists on providing the perps with excuses. Well, at least it was drugs, he lost control of his car, some may say, and there's no proof the killer shouted "Allahu akbar" before slamming his car into the cyclists. But who knows how seriously this young man takes his Koran and the doctrine of waging jihad against unbelievers? At least his family is under police protection, so we don't have to worry about that dreaded "backlash" that would show that we are intolerant. Or something... (ANSA) <http://www.ansa.it/web/notizie/rubriche/english/2010/12/06/visualizza_new.h tml_1672710281.html> - Rome, December 6 - Two separate tragedies in which Moroccan migrants were implicated at the weekend have raised gusts of intolerance from some quarters in Italy. <http://sheikyermami.com/wp-content/uploads/e8d9d40b41f509702524273334431400 .jpg> http://sheikyermami.com/wp-content/uploads/e8d9d40b41f509702524273334431400. jpg A 22-year-old man from the North African country was arrested Sunday on suspicion of the kidnapping and murder of a 13-year-old girl who went missing in the northern town of Brembate Sopra near Bergamo nine days ago. On the same day a 21-year-old Moroccan allegedly under the influence of drugs killed seven cyclists and injured three others, one of whom is in a critical condition, after losing control of his car at Lamezia Terme in the southern region of Calabria. A banner reading "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" was put up by one local at Brembate Sopra after news spread of the arrest of the 22-year-old, who has denied killing Yara Gambirasio, whose body has not been found. Another called on migrants to get "out of Bergamo", while racist comments and calls for lynchings appeared on some facebook pages. The girl's family, in contrast, appealed for calm and Brembate Sopra's Northern League Mayor Diego Locatelli said there should be no "manhunt". But this tone was not shared by other figures in the League, the junior partner in Premier Silvio Berlusconi's centre-right government alliance and a party which frequently takes hardline stances on migration issues. "We have so many criminals in Italy that we don't need to import them," said League Senator Piergiorgio Stiffoni in reference to both cases. "Let's send them all back home" League MEP Matteo Salvini echoed those sentiments: "You can now read about the link between immigration and violence every day in police reports," Salvini told Monday's edition of daily newspaper La Repubblica. "Uncontrolled immigration has caused damage. Those who preached the policy that there's room for everyone have what is happening on their conscience," he added, suggesting that even migrants with the necessary documents should not be allowed to enter Italy if they do not have a job. One commentator said intolerance helped some Italians feel they knew who their enemies were in a danger-riddled modern world, even though the threat often stems not from migrants, but from family members, as shown in two other recent high-profile murder cases here. "This time it's not 'one of us', it's 'one of them'. Finally things are back in their place," wrote Chiara Saraceno in an opinion piece in La Repubblica entitled "the racism of pain". "The villains are other people, doubly unknown because they are strangers and foreigners. "It's reassuring to seek a scapegoat on whom you can vent the anxiety of no longer feeling in control of a given area or your everyday existence - not because immigrants are here, but because the rules of the game have changed". However, Interior Minister Roberto Maroni, a League heavyweight, said it was wrong to read too much into reactions to these tragedies. "I wouldn't want the display of a banner at Brembate, which I and the town's Northern League mayor have condemned, to come to be seen as a symbol of a community which is actually hard working and welcoming," Maroni said on Italian radio Monday. "In the north there is a model system of reception and integration for immigrants and aside from that, obviously, there are individual cases". The Moroccan community in Lamezia Terme, meanwhile, said they were mourning with the families of the dead cyclists and asked not to be judged by the deeds of one man. "We are on the side of the victims and their families and to show it we closed our shops and businesses today" Hassan Qablaoui, a representative of the town's Islamic centre, told ANSA. "We'll have a meeting with police soon to assess whether it is appropriate for us to attend the funeral. "We are all saddened and we think the driver must pay for what he did, but we also want to prevent the whole community's image being overshadowed. We are not all like that". A police car was stationed outside the home of the driver's family on Monday to deter any possible revenge attacks, although the situation appeared calm.
