Tide of hostility
Re “In Italy, backlash against migrants grows,” Oct. 19
It was interesting to read of the rising tide of hostility to Muslim migrants flooding into Italy. It was amusing that Roberto Calderoli, a senator from the Veneto region, proposed a national “pig day” to desecrate land for mosques in the eyes of Muslims. Had he done that here, he would be accused of advocating a hate crime.
