Berlusoni pide la renuncia al Ministro Calderolli

De Bloomberg, via Jihad Watch:

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi asked Reforms Minister Roberto Calderoli to resign late yesterday after a mob attacked an Italian consulate in Libya angered about the T-shirt worn by the minister on Feb. 14 depicting a Danish cartoon of the prophet Muhammad.

«I respect all faiths and support dialogue between religions and civilizations,» Berlusconi said in a statement published on the government’s Web site early today. «Senator Calderoli’s position isn’t that of the government and it’s evidently incompatible with an institutional role, so he’s invited to resign.»…

Calderoli, a member of the anti-immigration Northern League party, earlier this week had T-shirts made with the Danish cartoons stamped on them. Calderoli said the shirts weren’t meant to provoke Muslims, but instead to invite «real dialogue.»

«It’s time to stop making up stories about looking for dialogue with these people,» Calderoli said on Feb. 14. «They only want to humiliate people, full stop.» Calderoli said it was «hypocritical» to distinguish between «terrorist Islam and pacifist Islam.»

Mmm, lo que no me extraña teniendo en cuenta este post que encontré en Buzzurro hace unos días:

When I lived in Italy I didn’t use to watch TV. That’s what was on TV on January 28th: during an interview, Italy’s premier Silvio Berlusconi said, according to Aldo Torchiaro:

I financed Arafat with my personal money because Israel uses tanks and poor Palestinians have only stones to defend themselves.

¿sólo tienen piedras?

Además, que no se preocupe Berlusconi, que Rusia ya se va a preocupar de armarles aún más…

Ahora comprendo por qué los medios de comunicación son tan inútiles agudos: con estos dirigentes, no se puede esperar mucho más…
