Brazil Opens borders to Muslim workers

Locations of visitors to this page

As of January 1, 2007, anyone with a Bosnian passport will be able to live and work in Italy without a VISA. This move is part of an Italian plan to create a single labor market along the Adriatic sea. Slovenia, Croatia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina have been accepted. Albania is being considered. Serbia and Montenegro has been denied.

The Italian government is especially interested in hiring qualified Bosnian Muslims for all Islamic organizations in Italy for which it has the power to do so, and promoting/referring qualified Bosnian Muslims for all those which it does not. This move is part of an Italian plan to combat radical Islam in that country in a way that does not generate more problems than it fixes.

One Italian official was quoted as comparing it to crop pests. You can either spray the field to kill them all, and deal with the poisonous effects of pesticide - or you can reintroduce a natural predator which can keep the pest in check. European Islam as practiced in Bosnia and Herzegovina and  is "widely respected" in Italy is a natural predator against extremism.

I think it's all very nice! It will certainly be very welcome for some professionals who cannot find work in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Studies have shown we operate overseas in much the same way as Mexicans in the United States. Most Bosnians working abroad still send, if I remember correctly, an average of 37 per cent of their earnings back into the Bosnian economy via payments to family and friends. So while we're certainly getting the short end of the stick, it's still a stick worth having I believe.

Thank you again, Italy.
