Christian manifestation against Islam in Valdocco, where two assaults of Sherif Azer took place in Porta Palazzo

July 25, 2013

Two attacks in the space of five days, the last happening as Sherif Azer left from the bank yesterday morning when two men threatened him. Sherif Azer, an Italian citizen born in Egypt and a Coptic Christian, became the victim of the Islamic world in the area of ​​Porta Palazzo. Sherif as the representative of the Coptic Christian community in Turin and vice-president of the “Save the Christians” was attacked and rescued by officers who continue to investigate the case. These are sufficient reasons to unleash the protest of a neighborhood that does not want to be known for violent acts or threats. The peaceful protest in the name of Sherif, took place last night on Rondò della Forca, on the corner of corso Valdocco.

A demonstration of solidarity against violence of Islam and in favor of law at Porta Palazzo, as well as solidarity with the victim of this story. Magdi Cristiano Allam just last night, launched an appeal asking the state to provide protection to Sherif Azer as he is a symbol of religious freedom and the defense of Christian civilization of Italy. Sherif, in fact, does not observe Ramadan and the Islamic fasting and this was enough to attract the antipathies of the entire Islamic world who see him as a kind of traitor. “Do not bow our heads in these abuses” said Allam “ Porta Palazzo, as in every other place in Italy, everyone does have a right to pray to the God whom they believe. This kind of retaliation is not tolerable.”

Allam echoed the opinion of Sherif Azer. “He who is not Muslim is seen as a sellout. I cannot even carry the crucifix at the risk of suffering a beating. This is terrorism, a cancer that Turin has to fight.” The parade that went through the whole center was also attended by many politicians. Including Vice President of the PDL citizen Silvio Magliano and regional councilors Augusta Montaruli and Giampiero Leo.
