Muslims at Friday prayers in Venice

Agent 6 is apparently taking his summer holidays in Venice, doubtless doing his bit to support the faltering Italian economy. He reports that Venice has the same problem as Paris, with a sudden influx of Muslim immigrants and only a few small mosques to accommodate their religious observances.

In the spirit of ecumenism and multiculturalism (he goes on), the Italian government has authorized the saying of Friday prayers al fresco... in the streets.

548 drowned so far.

Note from Ed.: We haven't been able to verify Agent 6's report yet, but believe he wouldn't josh about such a serious matter.
