Italians are outspoken in comparison with Northern Europeans.

Forthright. Unabashed. Opinionated. And foul-mouthed.

They live under the same stringent “hate speech” laws as everyone else in the EU. Yet somehow that doesn’t keep them from speaking out in VERY politically incorrect terms — into the microphone and in front of a camera. Even here in the USA, opinions like some of the ones voiced in the following interviews would get the speaker hauled down to the station house to have a little chat with the boys in blue.

But Italians seem to be unconcerned about such trivialities.

Transcript:

00:00 What do you think about the immigrants who… —It’s disgusting.

00:03 That’s all. I don’t want them. You can’t see anything.

00:06 Because they have put us Italians in a bad situation, God only knows.

00:10 All the stores are being taken over. Everything is being taken over. There is nothing for us.

00:19 Tor Pignattara on the southern periphery of Rome. Here is the land of immigrants, especially

00:24 Bangladeshis. There are three mosques. They are too small, and the Muslims pray on the street.

00:35 They sit on their a** to pray. What the hell are they? I can’t enter into the office.

00:40 There’s an office here at number 70, and they don’t let me enter.

00:43 Why do they pray on the street? First you wait until they pray.

00:47 Go into one of their countries with a cross, they’ll stick it up your a**.

00:51 That’s what I think of these pieces of s***.

00:54 We feel we are in their house because

00:58 [unintelligible] they are all working and we are [unintelligible]

01:02 you cannot pass on the sidewalk.

01:13 The Muslims would like a new mosque, but the neighborhood has reacted like this:

01:17 The opening of a new mosque… —No, we don’t want it.

01:22 They won’t be accepted.[unintelligible]

01:26 Are you in agreement with a new… —Not at all, all of them.

01:32 I think there are already many [mosques].

01:36 There are no more Italians. There’s nothing. I am afraid to go out.

01:41 …a bad people…

01:45 They have bad characteristics, understand?

01:48 What do you think about the opening of a new mosque?

01:51 Forget about it. —Why? —Forget about it.

01:55 Oh God. I don’t like these things — mosques

02:00 Why not? —Why not? Because they are disgusting.

02:05 Yes and then I don’t know what to say. —Why are they disgusting?

02:08 Because they are a vicious and dirty race. —Huh?

02:12 Because there are only foreigners here, no more Italians. Well, I don’t know

02:18 Why are they dirty? Because it’s true. They are a bad race,

02:22 according to my thinking. They are disgusting, therefore yes.

02:25 It’s all of them. They have all the work. It’s disgusting. Yes, [unintelligible]

02:37 We succeeded in talking to the imam of one of the three mosques.

02:41 The inhabitants of the zone don’t want the opening of a new mosque.

02:44 I will speak in Bengali and he will translate.

02:48 (Speaking in Bengali)

02:54 The imam says these are the rights,

02:58 to exercise their faith.

03:02 Therefore, it is obvious if there is no more space,

03:06 therefore, it is necessary to find space in order to do prayers.

03:10 No more room to pray, so that you need to… Not enough, here there are so many people,

03:15 and so little space for prayers.

03:18 What do you think about them finding a new mosque?

03:22 I would set fire to all of them.

03:25 Yes? Why? Look, I talk fascist. Better you don’t interview me

03:29 [unintelligible] For me, I would massacre all of them like dogs.

03:35 Outright? Yes, yes If we have to rebel, we have to…

03:40 We have to grab them by the b***s, excuse the expression,

03:45 commit a massacre because if there are more, they are destroying everything.

03:50 They are destroying our people.

03:53 How? — How? It’s already bad for us, only they are coming.

03:58 Anyway, they rob, they lie around.

04:02 For me, look… I would massacre them all.

04:07 Isn’t that separatist? —Yes, very.

04:11 —What do you think of the opening of a new mosque?

04:14 Close it. All [of them]. Close them all?

04:18 Outright? Why? Because it’s no good.

04:21 —Mosques? [unintelligible] … their own countries [unintelligible]

04:26 —I think there are too many by now — or not?

04:30 There are already so many here. —The opening of a new mosque? How do you see it?

04:36 Burn it. —Burn it?

04:39 Like they do. They don’t interest me. I am not for other religions.

04:43 They are not inclusive and neither am I.

04:47 It’s a thing. If they were more tolerant, I would be tolerant,

04:52 since we have become a country of [unintelligible], I don’t like this.

04:57 Why do you say a country of [unintelligible]? Because they all come here from [unintelligible]

05:03 I am completely against.

05:06 [unintelligible]

05:09 Why? —Because they have become too many. The religion is disgusting because

05:15 either you think like them or you are against them.

05:19 For that reason, I don’t support. there is no more [unintelligible] these people here.

05:23 Is it possible that nobody in the government or community takes care of this?

05:28 There are no more Italian businesses here.

05:31 They have them all.

05:34 If we fight back here [unintelligible] They have put us in a pile of s***,

05:40 and since they have put us [unintelligible]

05:45 [Unintelligible]

05:50 They stink. They stink [unintelligible]
