A public Muslim prayer in front of the Milan Cathedral during a protest against the Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip is causing great controversy in Italy.

Liga Nord even speaks of a "inconceivable provocation". the party blames the Muslims of converting the square in front of the cathedral into a mosque. The prayer was a provocation and a slap in the face to the city of Milan which must stay Christian, according to the right-wing political party.

Pax Christi in Italy meanwhile said that the Muslims have a right to also express their solidarity with the Palestinian people by prayer.
