In the middle of a stupid controversy about minarets...

... spreading from Switzerland.
Well, let's have a look instead to the good side, the wonderful Paris Great
Mosque - minaret included - and, a few steps away, to the Arab World
Institute...
[Check this video podcast in 2 parts, forecasted by The Guardian].

The Grand Mosque of Paris is an old idea from the time of the colonial France.
Since 1533 - at the time of King Francois I and Caliph Suleiman the Magnificent,
they wanted to build a mosque in Paris for Muslim people.
It's a long story and you had to wait until 1917, when they created an association
in Algiers - at that time Algeria was part of the French territory.
They started to build it in 1922, and it was opened in 1926, so it's an old mosque,
more than 80 years old, and it's a bit of a symbol of French Islam (more).


(oclandestin)
The Institut du Monde Arabe is a centre for Arabic arts and culture.
The building was designed by French architect Jean Nouvel and intended to be
a dialogue between cultures. It reflects a modern interpretation of traditional
Islamic art and architecture (more).

Hard times for the Berlufioso...

... as the Cosa Nostra's "pentiti" decided to break the silence.



La Repubblica > Mafia, perchè i pentiti accusano Berlusconi
... Nella convinzione di essere stata venduta dopo le trattative degli anni Novanta, la cosca di
Brancaccio ha deciso di aggredire - in pubblico e servendosi di un processo - chi non ha
mantenuto gli impegni.
... La campana suona per Silvio Berlusconi perché è evidente che il 4 dicembre, quando Gaspare
Spatuzza, mafioso di Brancaccio, testimonierà nel processo di appello contro Marcello Dell'Utri,
avrà inizio la resa dei conti della famiglia dei fratelli Graviano contro il capo del governo.
... Berlusconi ha paura perchè quegli uomini non conoscono soltanto la verità sulle stragi (del
1993), ma soprattutto le origini oscure della sua avventura imprenditoriale...

BBC News > Mafia trial judges quizz Berlusconi
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi appeared before judges on Tuesday in the trial
of a close associate (Mr Dell'Utri) accused of Mafia money-laundering.
... Judges suspect that money used to create the firms might have come from Mafia sources
via Mr Dell'Utri, although Fininvest insists it can account for all the cash.
... Most of the evidence against Mr Dell'Utri comes from Mafia informants.

TIMES online > Berlusconi faces new bribery trial hearing

Marcello Dell’Utri is appealing against a nine-year sentence for “Mafia association”.
