To : M. Antonio Socci

From : G. Eid

During the 1974 the pan-Islamic Congress of Lahore they decided, with the tacit agreement of the Western countries, the elimination of a presidential chronometer in the country with a Muslim majority.

Is it a project or a project in progress? (Sudan, Sudan, Bosnia, Kosovo, Copts in Egypt, Pakistan, Timor, etc.). The Italian press has always kept silent when the attackers are Muslims! In fact, a work of disinformation does not remember the massacres against Muslims of this century Oil or water? Only excuse: here we are carriers of facts if we produce in the world but here we escape the information.

What are the reasons and interests at stake here if some events are realized and cause suffering and death?

The published articles intend to provide the tools for a social inclusion of the migratory flow, shed light on human rights and the condition of life of Christians in the Islamic world from which the author come from. Knowledge of the other, of cultural and religious differences are primary ingredients to create peace in the hearts of men everywhere, a prerequisite for a peaceful coexistence and convinced citizenship in the territory.

From: G. Samir Eid

Object:  Milan and Islam

I see your scheduled presence at the conference Milan and Islam at the “Stelline”. In this regard, I would like to offer some ideas on the issues between us and Islam

  • Religious faith

It is praiseworthy that the Islamic centers in Milan can increase the religious faith of the faithful, but it is criticizable when the center intends to apply to our society, customs, traditions and dictates of foreign origin in the name of Islam. The question then arises: of which Islam? The one practiced in Cairo, Beirut, Tunis, or Mecca, Karachi or the desert of the seventh century?

  • Human rights

What rights will be discussed? In my opinion, dealing with the truth is an undeniable value.

Date: 10 August 1998

To: Dr. Angelo Panebianco

From: Giuseppe Eid

Object: Terrorism and the Islamism

Given the authoritativeness of his speeches I will allow a modest comment on page 2 of your article today in the Corriere Della Sera in the hope that it will contribute to a better understanding of the phenomenon Islamic fundamentalism.

The phenomenon of migration has transformed Milan into a multicultural city, where people of different languages, religions and cultures live side by side. Islam, in particular, is an increasingly present reality, even if in many ways still little known. I would like to tell you about my experience in this regard.
