It happened in Turin on Corso Vigevano. The two brothers are 62 and 71 years old.
They were attacked because they did not comply with the rules of Ramadan, which stipulate that smoking is not allowed during the fasting period. “But my father and uncle are Coptic Christians, they are not Muslims,” explained the daughter and niece of the victims of an attack that occurred on Monday afternoon in Corso Vigevano almost in Piazza Crispi. “It is not the first time that we ourselves have been attacked in Italy because we are Christians,” says the 23-year-old, who was born and raised in Italy.
Her family has lived in Turin for over 40 years, her father is 62 years old and has always fought for the rights of the discriminated Coptic minority in Egypt. “It makes me angry to think that this discrimination also exists here,” he said.
The 62-year-old father and 70-year-old uncle were standing in the square. They were waiting for my mother,” the young woman said, “my uncle was smoking a cigarette, and this group of passers-by, foreigners, but I don’t know what nationality, started cursing and swearing. My father turned around and asked them if they meant him and my uncle. They answered in the affirmative and said that it is not good for Muslims to smoke. “
When the two explained that their faith was different, they were attacked with kicks and punches. Both were treated at Giovanni Bosco with several bruises. They do not personally know their attackers. “But maybe this group of people had already noticed my family members, my uncle lives in the area, my father is known in the community for his work as an activist. Both wear quite obvious Christian crosses”.
The group only fled when one of the attacked told the other to call the police. The girl said: “We have had problems before. It happened to me in the city centre when I was out with my friends and we were approached by a man with a small child who started calling us unclean and said we were dressed like prostitutes because we were wearing western clothes. This always happened during Ramadan. The husband of one of my mother’s friends was attacked because he ate during the fasting month, which he obviously does not comply with because he belongs to a different religion.” In the next few days, the victims of the attack will file a lawsuit.

The Copts who were kicked and beaten on Monday for smoking and wearing crosses during Ramadan are not the only ones reprimanded for disrespecting Islamic law in Barriera di Milano, a multi-ethnic neighbourhood in Turin.
“Last week in Porta Palazzo, a good friend of mine was insulted for drinking water in the street. – They shouted “Ramadan, haram” to remind him that it is forbidden to drink water during the day during the month of fasting.” A few days ago, his brother Nabil was also targeted for the same reason.
“A young man, perhaps Tunisian, outside the same bar told him that Islamic law forbids smoking during Ramadan and that this time, to avoid problems, he had to bow down and comply. I can assure you,” Sherif continues, “if I went out tomorrow to eat a sandwich in the same area, I would not leave it alive.” The reason, the businessman of Egyptian origin explains over the phone, is simple: “They want to apply Sharia law because they consider us inferior and want to rule us.” Over the past few days, Sherif has reported it all to the police. The investigation aims to identify the perpetrators, also thanks to the security cameras installed in the area.Il Giornale
