Italy: Lega Exposes Illegal Mosques in Rome

On September 4, the Italian Lega party, which strongly opposes mass migration into Italy, as well as the growing Islamization of the country, held a conference in Rome to address the issue of illegal, clandestine mosques operating in the city without authorization, a problem that seems to be ignored by Rome’s mayor, Roberto Gualtieri. Lega intends to use public access documents to help identify mosques that are operating clandestinely.

We have previously reported on this problem in Milan, Italy’s second-largest city, where illegal places of Islamic prayer have been set up in basements of apartment buildings in the city, without anybody’s permission, and to the great annoyance of residents who see people arriving at all hours of the day to conduct prayers.

Rome-The capital of Islam

The Lega (The League) uncovers the first 17 illegal mosques

By Giulia Sorrentino, September 6, 2025

The list has come out of alleged illegal mosques in the capital, compiled by Lega (party), which has decided to chart all of the illegal Islamic centers identifying 17 through public access measures  It is not just that of Centocelle, where work has been stopped and sealed off, but also several areas of the capital that involve quarters like Magliana, Torpignatarra, Esquilino, and many others.

Because there are too many fake cultural centers behind which are actual places of worship that are not authorized and whose urban impact is becoming a burden for the citizens, who are asking for security and serious regulation. And it is for this that on Thursday, a “Mosques, urban legality, and transparency” conference was held, promoted by the Lega and with the participation of Euro Deputies, Anna Maria Cisint, Susanna Ceccardi, and Silvia Sardone, as well as (Rome) counselors Fabrizio Santori. Maurizio Politi, Antonio Giammusso, and the national representative for Relations with the Foreign Community, Souad Sbai.  

“We are here to say clearly that this is all unacceptable. As mayor of Monfalcone, I closed three illegal mosques, and today, as a European Parliament Deputy, I have constructed an administrative system that backs the mayors to the wall, too often from the left, who pretend not to see the abuses because they concern the Islamic communities,” Cisint said. She then emphasized how public access measures are concrete measures useful to “force the mayors to ‘self-report’ and thus, close tbe illegal mosques. A system that we are implementing throughout Italy to force the mayors to assume their own responsibilities. And it is exactly what I have just done in Padua, and that we are now applying also to the Rome municipalities.”

Underlining the importance of this battle is the Lega vice secretary, Silvia Sardone: “The topic of the spread of illegal mosques is a problem increasingly evident, to which we cannot close our eyes. We believe that the fight against Islamization and Islamism, given the growing dangers connected to the Muslim Brotherhood, is the battle of the coming decades. We are, with pride, following what Oriana Fallaci said when she was talking about Eurabia.”

In fact, Fabrizio Santori, Lega group leader in the Rome Assembly, explained the numerous access requests for documents presented, aimed at verifying the judicial and urban status of the properties. “Rome is today the city with the largest number of illegal Islamic centers in Italy. We need transparency, clarity, and control. The phenomenon is out of control.”

And, in fact, also Souad Sbai, director of the Lega for relations with the foreign communities, has emphasized the need to bring clarity because, ” these centers are not prayer spaces, but rather instruments of Islamist penetration. It’s time to say, enough, demand clear rules, and take care of the citizens, Italians and foreigners, who really want to integrate”. Because as Susanna Ceccardi herself said, there is a total absence of controls: “Mayor (Roberto) Gualtieri must assume his responsibilities”. There are too many irregularities, an exorbitant number of unauthorized places of worship, to which the Lega has decided to say enough with a method that will become a system to chart Rome and then all the other hotbeds of Islamic fundamentalism present in Italy.
