What's going down in Padua?

First, I read about the group of Muslim immigrants forming their own security patrol in Padua. Then I discovered that there is a similar Moslem group in Bagnoli which was started because of attacks after Friday prayers. Attacks that the local priest suggested were conducted by "...the same people who do not participate in their [own] church's celebrations". Finally, I stumble across this... Muslims feel under siege as Italian Right sets up town vigilante groups.

Things are sounding a little tense over there, folks.



Bonus: Berlusconi testifies in Abu Omar rendition trial. (The trial that establishes the Saddam al-Qaeda linkage that everyone is hoping we'll ignore. Good thing Michelle Malkin is all over it!)
