I have listed this page for cleanup. I think there are several problems with the used of biased wording, weasel terms and irrelevant information.

In the second paragraph, it is stated that "There is a perception among some that this constant wave of arrivals is placing the nation under siege, the foreign customs and practices of these people is alien to many who have lived their entire lives in an almost homogenous Italo-Catholic environment". No alternative perspective or critisism of this point of view is offered. Also, the use of the word "success" in intercepting immigrants might be regarded as a point-of-view statement.

The argumentative nature of the last paragraph is rather unencyclopedic. It seems like the author is trying to make a point, using some rather biased wording ("stirring", "a vocal few"). Again, no opposing perspective is offered. The very last sentence, "It is common in Muslim-majority countries to find arrow-signs in hotel rooms indicating the direction of Mecca and is not made an issue of by non-Muslims" has nothing to do with the subject of the article, unless the argument is attributed to a cited Italian source. / Alarm 12:00, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Change of statistics

A number of figures in this article has been changed. Could someone please provide a reference for the statistics given? / Alarm 19:07, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I changed "the Prophet Muhammad" to "the Muslim Prophet Muhammad" since his prophethood is a religious point of view.

  • Italian exports and Islam in Italy all smell like copyvios but I can't tell where from. They were all put up by User:82.43.213.217, and share the same writing style. Dave6 05:44, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    • No copyvio notices on these articles. -- Infrogmation 14:21, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    • I agree that these are almost certainly copyright violations, although they might be school papers this guy wrote. I can't find the sources either. – Quadell (talk) (sleuth) 15:55, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)
