Those who hate and sexism deep inside

However, it should not be difficult to distinguish crime from victim. Instead, League deputy Alessandro Pagano did so, describing the unfortunate Silvia Romano in the House as a neo-terrorist. By what criteria we do not know. Perhaps you thought you saw a Kalashnikov under the veil, or more simply deduced from a religious conversion to Islam a militant adherence to Jihad. He certainly forgot that Silvia Romano suffered, disorganized, a kidnapping and a degrading detention. Mental confusion immediately found an echo, albeit with better intentions, on the opposite banks of the chamber, where Democratic Party deputy Enrico Borghi replied with disdain: an Italian, not a neo-terrorist; phrase from which it follows that he also confuses ethnicity with politics, although on the contrary.

Unfortunately, the Northern League deputy is not alone. Even before the yellow of the bottle, which may or may not have been thrown against the window of the house where Silvia lives, a true group of keyboard enemies has been furious for days on social media. A Northern League councilor in Milan, Alessandro Morelli, came to publish an old photo of Silvia in a miniskirt, only to instigate the condemnation of her new look. There is enough to say that, under a certain far-right Islamophobia, you can also clearly see the iceberg of deep, ancestral, almost anthropological sexism: in the last year and a half, three other hostages have returned for what they paid a ransom to, less in one case, even with a conversion similar to Islam, and it caused no scandal. Perhaps because they were men (and they did not exhibit themselves in an awkward triumphal status ceremony, as happened to Silvia Romano).
