A quote <http://www.adnkronos.com/AKI/English/Religion/?id=1.0.1553025603>
from the Italian press agency AKI, 14 November 2007
The imam of the mosque in the town of Latina in the central Italian region
of Lazio, Sheikh Yusuf, on 26 October heckled interior minister Giuliano
Amato about the toilet seat as he presented Italy's new 'Charter of
values,
citizenship and integration' for immigrants' at Rome's Grand Mosque. "This
is an insult to the Muslim faith that we must react to," Yusuf called out
to
Amato, who reassured Yusuf, saying: "I would like to tell our friends from
Latina that we have been informed of this matter and are taking action
because it is offensive." [.]
Al-Quds al-Arabi reported that local Muslims are planning further
non-violent protests against the toilet seat until it is removed from
stores.
Imported from China and sold in Italy by the Orizzonte group, it is still
in
sale in six towns in the region, including Latina and Frosinone, many of
them in local markets, according to the Arabic paper. But according to
local
Italian media, a special investigative unit of the police had already
begun
probing the issue several days before Yusuf's verbal protest to Amato in
Rome last month and seized 212 'Koranic' toilet seats from five
supermarkets in the area, where they were on sale at 15 euros a piece.
