The video below is another documentary by Eugenia Fiore about Islam in Italy. In this instance the journalist visits an Islamic ghetto in Genoa to talk to the family of a recently arrested terrorist from the Tablighi organization (see last Monday’s report about Tablighi in the suburbs of Rome).
An interesting aspect of this video is that Ms. Fiore was discouraged from entering the Muslim area because she is a woman, and even worse, a blonde.

Video transcript:
| 00:01 | We managed to enter the house of the Bengali terrorist arrested a few days ago in Genoa. | |
| 00:10 | [He used to call for jihad against the West: follower of Al-Qaeda arrested in Genoa] | |
| 00:14 | But didn’t you go to the mosque together with your son? | |
| 00:17 | Yes, sometimes we used to go to the mosque, the one near Via Paglia. | |
| 00:21 | Do you think someone in the mosque may have [pushed him]? —No, I don’t think so. | |
| 00:27 | At home, we found a drawing of an assault rifle AK-47, that is, a Kalashnikov. | |
| 00:33 | Who made that drawing? —He did. —But why did you make that drawing? | |
| 00:38 | ||
| 00:42 | But before bringing you here, we want to show you what Genoa looks like. | |
| 00:46 | One of the most important cities in Italy has become the capital of Islamic radicalism. | |
| 00:52 | In recent years, dozens of extremists have been arrested and expelled. | |
| 00:58 | ||
| 01:00 | Don’t you see that Islam is growing now? | |
| 01:03 | Don’t you see that Islam is booming? | |
| 01:06 | Why is that in your opinion? —Take a copy of the Qur’an and study. | |
| 01:11 | In these alleys of the historic center, businesses managed by Italians have gradually disappeared. | |
| 01:18 | But there are halal butcher’s shops, mosques, Arab shops of all kinds, one next to the other. | |
| 01:24 | And here, by now, not even women are welcome. | |
| 01:31 | Can you tell me where the Islamic cultural centers are on this street? | |
| 01:35 | I need to talk to someone, I’m a journalist. | |
| 01:38 | No, they are Muslims. I guess you know their mentality. | |
| 01:44 | A woman is not appropriate, you should send a man to interview them. —Did you hear? | |
| 01:49 | We’ll let you listen to it once more time. because it’s absurd that in an Italian city | |
| 01:54 | we are told these things by law enforcement. | |
| 01:57 | A woman is not appropriate, you should send a man to interview them. | |
| 02:03 | And… —And this is not even a safe area for a blonde woman. | |
| 02:07 | And be careful, be careful, we are inferior to them. | |
| 02:12 | I see. Have you ever had any problems here? —They won’t talk to us police officers. | |
| 02:17 | So we employ men instead. Even the local police have given up sending female officers here, | |
| 02:24 | because they won’t talk to women. It’s our institutions that are bowing to radical Islam. | |
| 02:30 | Further on, among the alleys, we talk to an imam of a mosque. Listen to what he tells us. | |
| 02:34 | There are people who live radically. —But what does “radical” mean? | |
| 02:39 | There are people who hate kafirs. They hate those who are not Muslims. | |
| 02:45 | For Muslims, kafirs are all those who do not believe in Allah. | |
| 02:49 | They won’t talk to you, or even look at you, do you understand? | |
| 02:52 | Do you know these people, I mean, those who hate kafirs? | |
| 02:57 | Yes, yes. Why? Of course there are. | |
| 03:02 | Did you hear the way he said it? It’s normal that the Muslims who hate those | |
| 03:07 | who don’t believe in their god frequent these mosques, these streets, our streets. | |
| 03:15 | Hate is a strong word. Even the terrorist arrested a few days ago in Genoa hates unbelievers | |
| 03:23 | and was ready to kill them. [He was ready for jihadi martyrdom. Terrorist arrested in Genoa] | |
| 03:29 | Faysal Rahaman is 21 years old. He arrived in Italy in 2018. | |
| 03:33 | He used to work in the shipyards: a life divided between work, mosque and home. | |
| 03:39 | The arrested jihadist used to live here. | |
| 03:42 | We are in the Genoese neighborhood of Sestri Ponente and now we will try to talk to his family. | |
| 03:49 | ||
| 04:01 | Hello, sorry to disturb you, sir. I’m a journalist, can I… | |
| 04:05 | We introduce ourselves and they invite us to enter. | |
| 04:08 | The terrorist’s father tells us about the police raid of a few nights earlier. | |
| 04:15 | At 4.30 am… —The police officers arrived. —The police officers arrived. | |
| 04:20 | They entered, we were sleeping. My son was sleeping there. | |
| 04:25 | Ah, OK, so they made a raid? | |
| 04:28 | Yes, yes, yes. This is the damage they did. Here it is. | |
| 04:32 | Ah, they really broke everything? —Yes. | |
| 04:36 | We are inside the jihadist’s house. This is his room, where he used to sleep with his brother. | |
| 04:42 | Here he used to pray, and on the internet he used to train himself to the use of the AK-47. | |
| 04:47 | He loved to watch and share videos of the stoning of women, beheadings of infidels on social media. | |
| 04:54 | He even filmed himself while he was watching, satisfied, the images of 9/11. | |
| 05:01 | On Facebook he wrote: “I am a terrorist. I am ferocious | |
| 05:06 | because I nurture intense hatred for infidels. | |
| 05:09 | I want to fight on the path of Allah, I will flood the field with the blood of infidels. | |
| 05:14 | Earth belongs to Allah, so the law will be followed only by Allah.” | |
| 05:19 | And what books are these? —These are the Qur’an. The holy book. | |
| 05:23 | Ah, I understand, I understand. But didn’t you notice that your brother was radicalizing? | |
| 05:30 | No. —No? | |
| 05:33 | You didn’t notice anything? People whose throats were slit, men thrown from the top of buildings… | |
| 05:42 | No, no, no. —You didn’t notice that he published all these photos? | |
| 05:45 | No, no, no, I didn’t see them. —And these were his drawers, his things? | |
| 05:48 | In his drawers we find a photo of him. | |
| 05:51 | Here he had just arrived in Italy, before he became radical and grew his beard. | |
| 05:57 | The Bengali man had joined the Tablighi, an Islamic association dedicated to religious propaganda. | |
| 06:03 | Scholars call them the Jehovah’s Witnesses of Islam. | |
| 06:07 | According to investigators, he used to train himself to use weapons and was ready to fight. | |
| 06:13 | Always on social media he wrote: “The imminent wave of Islamic heroes will make the Zionists | |
| 06:19 | and the Crusaders forget the horrors of 9/11.” | |
| 06:23 | But how is it possible that his family didn’t notice anything? | |
| 06:27 | But didn’t you go to the mosque together with your son? | |
| 06:30 | Yes, sometimes we used to go to the mosque, the one near Via Paglia. | |
| 06:34 | Do you think someone in the mosque may have [pushed him]? | |
| 06:38 | —No, no, no, I don’t think so. —But even the drawings made by the terrorist’s brother are worrying. | |
| 06:46 | But why did you make that drawing? | |
| 06:50 | It is not clear who is behind Faysal’s radicalization, | |
| 06:54 | but what it seems is that this house is fertile ground for Islamic fundamentalism. | |
| 07:00 | They must cover themselves. —Women must cover themselves? —In my religion | |
| 07:03 | you have to respect this. —Ah, I understand, I understand. | |
| 07:06 | So she has to cover herself? —Yes, yes, when she goes out, she has to cover her mouth… —A mask. | |
| 07:10 | Even her mouth must be covered? —Yes, she has to wear a little mask. | |
| 07:16 | Look at this woman. She is not even allowed to talk to us. —And if she doesn’t want to put it on? | |
| 07:22 | No, no. —How is the lady here supposed to leave the house? | |
| 07:25 | Like this. Like this, look. | |
| 07:30 | Does she have to go out like this? —Yes, like this. | |
| 07:33 | And she has to wear these clothes. | |
| 07:37 | This is a long dress. The dress must cover everything, do you understand? | |
| 07:42 | But sometimes it’s hot in the summer, with the mask on… | |
| 07:45 | No, no, no, no. No problem. Even if it’s hot, you can’t go out without wearing the mask, | |
| 07:49 | because it’s an obligation in my religion. | |
| 07:52 | The terrorist used to live in this environment, educated to a rigorous Islam. | |
| 07:56 | Perhaps all this has nothing to do with his radicalization. | |
| 08:01 | Or maybe it does. —So you weren’t aware of anything? | |
| 08:05 | No, I wasn’t aware of anything. | |
| 08:12 |
It’s easy to let them in. Repatriation will be a problem.
Can’t be reasoned with. At all.
Bullets and rope are cheap, now all it takes is the will to use them with a vengeance.
