Bangladeshi residents and others in Monfalcone say decisions to prohibit worship at cultural centres and banning burkinis at the beach is part of anti-Islam agenda
The envelope containing two partially burned pages of the Qur’an came as a shock. Until then, Muslim residents in the Adriatic port town of Monfalcone had lived relatively peacefully for more than 20 years.
Addressed to the Darus Salaam Muslim cultural association on Via Duca d’Aosta, the envelope was received soon after Monfalcone’s far-right mayor, Anna Maria Cisint, banned prayers on the premises.
“It was hurtful, a serious insult we never expected,” said Bou Konate, the association’s president. “But it was not a coincidence. The letter was a threat, generated by a campaign of hate that has stoked toxicity.”
Monfalcone’s population recently passed 30,000. Such a positive demographic trend would ordinarily spell good news in a country grappling with a rapidly declining birthrate, but in Monfalcone, where Cisint has been nurturing an anti-Islam agenda since winning her first mandate in 2016, the rise has not been welcomed.

As opposed to the benches that are purposely designed so you can’t lie on them. You see those all over the place under the guise of modern design language.
Not just benches. Hostile Architecture is all over the place.
Well, modern design language includes a fucktonne of synonyms for ‘social violence’
Maybe we need to start getting crews to go around with crowbars and remove these human-hateful expressions of the owner class’s power.
in my city they are more magnanimous. putting unmovable barriers on the bench that makes it impossible to lie down upon.
They just hate fat
The priest at the church my mom used to work at did the same thing with the bus stop benches an Eagle Scout built because of the same reason.
