Article: Roman Catholic Church And The Last Days
FURIOUS Muslims prayed outside Rome’s Colosseum to protest the closure of mosques in the capital city. Authorities in Rome recently closed down five makeshift mosques in the city in what Muslims see as a crackdown on their religion. Thousands attended Friday prayers this week outside the iconic Colosseum in Rome to demonstrate against the closures. The small mosques had been shut down by the authorities on fears that youngsters were becoming radicalized.
Many Muslims in the country believe local authorities are reacting to fear caused by recent terror attacks in Europe. Italy does not recognise Islam as an official religion. On top of this, many Muslims from North Africa and South Asia feel discriminated against on the grounds of both race and religion.
