Italian security authorities have expelled a Moroccan cleric officiating in the EU country over radical interpretation of the Quran and aggressive behavior. The Italian interior ministry reportedly told Corriere Torino that Rouzak has been deported on security grounds. According to the interior ministry, he had been under the radar since 2012, the year he gave a radical interpretation of Islamic precepts. Interior Minister Matteo Salvini has welcomed on Twitter the expulsion noting that the Italian government will not allow radicalism. The interior ministry sent 126 people back to their countries of origin last year.
