Hamza Piccardo is one of Italy’s most prominent Muslim leaders. In the past he has claimed that “polygamy is our civil right” and now he has written to Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini requesting he “establish an electoral process leading to the election of a democratic representation of Italian Muslims.”
He is the founder of the Union of Italian Islamic Communities (UCOII) and is known for his assertion that Italians should not “undervalue polygamy’s demographic effect,” which he believes would help Italy’s low birthrate and the need for foreign workers and should be considered a civil right as much as gay marriage is.
So, now he is asking that Italian government to bring Islam into the political establishment: “Let the government organise a consultation that can bring order to Italian Islam, we are fed up with this anarchy”.
His perception is that “none of the organisations present in the territory significantly represents the soon to be three million Muslims in Italy, one million of whom are Italian citizens.”
