This outlet explains that in a statement The Islamic community is asking whether the girls“ presence is ”coincidence or provocation« because »everyone knows it's our prayer space.". In other words: the park is public, but they already consider it their own and impose their moral rules.
The right speaks of an “illegal open-air mosque.”
The harshest reaction comes from League MEP Anna Maria Cisint, who sums up the episode without nuance: “They were thrown out because they were sunbathing.”According to Cisint, the faithful arrived at the park with the imams at the head and ended up expelling two girls who had simply taken up a patch of grass to sunbathe.
The League leader accuses the Muslim community of having improperly occupied a public park and for having turned it into an “illegal open-air mosque”.
