Paolo Grossi, the new president
of Italy's Constitutional Court, on Wednesday hailed a ruling
earlier in the day that struck down a Lombardy regional law
restricting the development of mosques in the northern Italian
region. "Our concern is to be custodians of fundamental rights:
the essential nucleus of the sentence is based on avoiding
discriminations, as the Court adjudged were present in the law,"
he said. The anti-immigrant Northern League earlier slammed the
top court's ruling as "Islamic".
