Italian PM Giorgia Meloni old statement on Islam and Europe’s values goes viral
A five-year-old video of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, saying Islam is not compatible with Europe, went viral this week.
“I believe there is a problem of compatibility between Islamic culture or a certain interpretation of Islamic culture and the rights and values of our civilisation,” she said, according to videos making rounds on the Internet.

In the viral video, Meloni also spoke on the issue of “lapidation for adultery” and “the death penalty for apostasy and homosexuality.”
“I believe that these should be raised, which does not mean generalising on Islam. It means raising the problem that there is a process of Islamisation in Europe that is very distant from the values of our civilisation,” she said.
Several news outlets mistakenly characterised Meloni’s video on Islam as recent.
